it's important to approach skincare with a scientific mindset, understanding that what works for others may not work for you due to differences in skin type, glandular components, histology, barrier function, and thickness.

Skin types:

Before buying korean skincares it is very often to identify your skin types:

Dry skins: Dry skin often responds well to lifestyle measures, such as using moisturizers and avoiding long, hot showers and baths. 

Oily skins: Avoid using Oil based or alcohol-based cleansers, choose skincare products with labels of "oil free" and "noncomedogenic." Use sunscreen and moisturizer daily.

Combination skins: oily skin in some areas of your face and dry skin in other areas. Typically, the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) are more prone to oiliness and the dry areas usually persist around the cheeks, jaw area and along the hairline.

Normal skins: The best possible way to care for normal skin is to follow the basic steps every skin type needs, including daily use of a gentle, effective cleanser, a non-irritating AHA or BHA exfoliant, sunscreen with SPF 30 or greater and a beautifully formulated moisturizer with skin-restoring and skin-soothing ingredients.

How to know your skin type

There are generally 5 skin types: normal, oily, dry, combination, and sensitive. I do think you can have sensitive skin while also having other types of skin. See my skin type.

Wash your face with a cleanser and pat it dry (don't wipe it dry, be gentle).

Wait for 30 minutes.

Gently press tissue paper or blotting paper on different areas like your nose, forehead, cheeks, and chin. (Use different pieces for each area.)

Hold up each of the pieces of tissue or blotting paper to a light source and see how much oil is on it.

If you see a big stain of oil on your paper, that area of your skin is oily. Foreheads, noses, and chins are usually the oiliest places. If there is little to no oil on the paper, that area of your skin may be dry or normal. To tell the difference, dry skin usually feels tighter when air-dried like this. If it is very dry, you could also see some dry flakes of skin.

[Def. Blotting paper is used to blot your face when it's oily and to remove some of that oil.]

The Real Guide to Figuring Out Your Skin Type (with a Touch of Ayurveda)

You might know your go-to coffee order, but what about your skin type? Whether you’re dealing with dry patches or an oily T-zone, knowing your skin type can be a game-changer for finding the right skincare products that actually work with your skin.

Here are 4 reliable ways, including the Ayurvedic approach, to discover your skin type:

1. The Day Test

One of the simplest ways to determine your skin type is to observe how it behaves over a full day. Here’s what to look for by the evening:

Result

Skin Type

Oily and shiny all over

Oily skin

Shiny T-zone but matte cheeks

Combination skin

Little to no oil, flakiness, or redness

Normal skin

Feels dry, tight, or flaky

Dry skin

Redness, itchiness, or sensitivity

Sensitive skin

Note: Dehydrated skin isn’t a type; it’s a condition that can affect any skin type.

2. The Wash Test

If a day-long test isn’t feasible, try this quick method instead. Cleanse your face with a mild cleanser, then wait for about 30 minutes without applying any product. Observe how your skin feels:

Dry, tight, or flaky: You may have dry skin.

Shiny or oily: Likely oily skin.

Only oily in the T-zone: You may have combination skin.

Calm and balanced: You probably have normal skin.

3. Ayurvedic Skin Types: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha

In Ayurveda, skin type is viewed through three doshas or energies, which are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Your skin type is thought to be a reflection of your dosha balance:

Vata (Dry Skin): Vata skin is usually dry, thin, and prone to fine lines and rough patches. It      may feel tight or flaky, especially in cooler weather.

Pitta (Sensitive/Combination Skin): Pitta skin is generally warm to the touch and may be prone to redness, sun sensitivity, and      occasional breakouts. It can be balanced or slightly oily, particularly in the T-zone.

Kapha (Oily Skin): Kapha      skin tends to be thicker, well-moisturized, and may feel oily to the      touch, especially in humid conditions. This skin type is less prone to      wrinkles but can be prone to clogged pores.

Knowing your Ayurvedic skin type can guide you in choosing ingredients and routines that balance your natural doshas, promoting harmony in your skin.

4. Consult a Dermatologist

For a more detailed analysis, a dermatologist can use specialized techniques to assess factors like oil production, blood vessel patterns, and sun damage. These methods provide a clearer picture of your skin’s unique needs.

Finding Balance with TLCforyou

Knowing your skin type helps you find the right products to support, not work against, your skin’s natural tendencies. At TLCforyou, we create formulations with ingredients that honor both Western and Ayurvedic principles for radiant, balanced skin.

nanami kento is the kind of man that makes people swoon without even realising it.

he's the kind of man to walk into a luxury store after work, suit jacket folded over one arm and a bouquet of flowers in the other -- his blonde hair still mostly perfect from the high-end pomade he uses. he scours the shelves, frowning to himself, while the attendants whisper and giggle amongst themselves near the tills -- an argument over who will be the one to talk to him, because he's intimidatingly pretty.

("just look at him," one whispers. "he's definitely buying something for a girlfriend."

"a wife," another disagrees. "c'mon. he's giving husband vibes."

someone hums. "but i can't see a wedding band."

"his mother, maybe?" says one other. "oh, i love when guys come in shopping for their mother."

"nobody's mother is getting a bouquet of a hundred red roses--")

eventually, one of them is volunteered as a sacrifice -- smiling and sweet as all attendants should be, she clears her throat. the others, crowded around the till, watch the exchange closely. "excuse me, sir. is there anything we could help you with today?"

her mouth is dry and her hands are clammy -- and when he fixes her with those narrow, burning eyes, her throat bobs.

"ah, yes." and his voice is deep and gravelly and drawling, and her stomach turns. she can only imagine what her coworkers are thinking -- hell, she can only imagine what she's thinking. her mind has stopped short. "my girlfriend likes this brand quite a bit. i thought i'd pick her up something..."

disappointment brews in her stomach -- and it's stupid, she knows it's stupid, because obviously a guy like that is taken. and -- she glances down at the roses -- obviously he treats her super fucking well. of course he does, because why wouldn't he? "oh, perfect! do you have anything in mind?"

"well, actually..."

he ends up buying one of the priciest gift boxes available -- fancy body care and perfume laid out in their signature boxes, decorated with ribbon and dried lavender -- no argument, no fight. he doesn't look for something cheaper, doesn't try to haggle or remove something to decrease the price. he adds, and adds, and adds -- and when she mentions a special offer at the till, a little add on for an extra 2000 yen, he accepts it readily. he inserts a black card into the card machine (of course, a black card), takes the beautifully wrapped bag, and thanks the girls for their services -- and just as he's leaving, his phone rings.

of course he answers the phone with hello, darling. of course he begins to ask his girlfriend about her day, the girls think with some amount of annoyance -- of course. maybe the curse of retail isn't entitled assholes expecting you to wait on hand and foot for them -- maybe it's the handsome men coming in to splurge on their girlfriends while you're painfully single and working for pennies.

Essential Skincare Products for Common Skin Issues

How to Build a Skincare Routine with Drug Store Products

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Selfish Column. This month I decided to look into my draft and share some skincare products that I still stand by. The products you like are subjective but understanding what your skin needs is important to its health. As the seasons change so do our skin and skin concerns. Below are four products I can pick up at my local drugstore that does the job when…

How To Know If Skin Care Routine Is Working

With so many skincare products on the market, it can be difficult to determine the success of your program. However, there are a few factors to consider. First, search for apparent improvements in your skin's texture, tone, clarity, smoothness, and moisture. These adjustments indicate that your routine is working well. However, if your skin becomes irritated, red, or inflamed after using a certain product, it may be time to move to another.

Understanding your skin type is critical to developing an efficient skincare plan. Dry skin is distinguished by tightness, flakiness, and a dull complexion. For dry skin, choose light, hydrating lotions containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. Oily skin produces abundant sebum and responds well to lightweight, oil-free moisturizers and cleansers. Combination skin requires treatments that manage oil production while not drying out the skin. Sensitive skin should be treated with fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and gentle products.

An effective skincare practice includes consistent skin texture, less breakouts, and better skin tone. Smooth and silky skin suggests that your regimen is effective, but rough or dry regions may require changes. Breakouts should lessen with a consistent program, resulting in clear and healthy skin. Additionally, an improvement in skin tone indicates that your routine is working.

♡How to Find Your Skin Type♡

🧸Hey Teddies! My first blog is about how to find your skin type. (I will make a few more posts about how to deal with your skin type the right way, soon!). Knowing your skin type is important because it helps you know what products you need to use in your skin care routine and gives you the knowledge of what your skin really needs. DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor, so please don't come for me😭 (But most of this information is dermatologist-approved!)

The main types of skin types are dry, sensitive, oily, and combination. To find out which is yours go through the skin types below and follow the instructions. Good luck! ;D

★1★ Wash your face. Right after washing it, touch it. How does it feel? If it feels tight then your face is dry. If it feels cleaner then you may have oily skin. If your T-zone (your T-zone is your forehead, nose area, and your chin) feels clean, but your cheeks feel tight, you may have combination skin.

★2★ Pinch your cheek. If it forms wrinkles, you may have dry and/or combination skin. If it is smooth, check if you have oily skin!

★3★ Look in the mirror. What do you see? If you see red, flaky patches all over, you most likely have dry and/or sensitive skin. If your face is shiny you have oily skin. If you have both then you have combination skin.

★4★ Wait an hour after washing your face and dab your T-zone with a tissue. Look at your tissue and check if any oil has gotten on it. If you do see oil that means you have oily or combination skin.

Dry Skin

If you have dry skin the texture is flaky and rough, or you'll see peeling skin.

Oily Skin

If you have oily skin then your face looks shiny and feels smooth, and later on in the day, it feels greasy. The oily parts of your face have the most acne or pimples that occur there. Your pores are big, especially in your T-zone.

Combination Skin

The combination skin type is the combination of oily and dry skin. Your face will be oily in the T-zone, but dry anywhere else. You may have more acne in your T-zone than on your cheeks.

Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive skin then your skin can be itchy, and get rashes. Your skin reacts to certain products and cleansers that can cause it to get red, itchy, and dry.

If these skin types do not apply to you, congrats!!! You have normal skin and do not have any huge problems to deal with. You have smooth skin, but you'll still have to deal with acne. Special treatment for you isn't needed :)
