Skin type, myths and DIYs
The first step, know your skin. Oily, dry, combination and normal are the four skin types. Oily skin looks greasy and shiny. Dry looks flaky and dry. Only the T-zone is oily in combination, and normal skin is the mixture of dry and oily skin. Apart from the four, there's sensitive skin that is prone to allergies. Afraid of cost, some prefer organic skincare, like lemon, toothpaste, baking powder etc. That is a harmful practice. Lemon, toothpaste can cause acne and severe pigmentation. If you're unsure, consult your doctor about the skin care products you should use.
