How to Identify Your Skin Type

Knowing your skin type is the first step toward building an effective skincare routine. But with so much information out there, it can be overwhelming. Don’t worry — we’re here to guide you through this essential process.

At Le Secret™, we believe every skin is unique. That’s why we offer personalized solutions tailored to each skin type and its specific needs.


Why Is It Important to Know Your Skin Type?

Understanding your skin type allows you to:

  • Choose the right products for your specific needs

  • Effectively address skin concerns

  • Prevent irritation and unwanted reactions

  • Maximize the results of your skincare routine


The Main Skin Types

1. Normal Skin
Characteristics: Balanced, neither too oily nor too dry, small pores, even tone.
Le Secret™ Tip: Even if your skin is “normal,” it still deserves attentive care to maintain balance.

2. Dry Skin
Characteristics: Tightness, flaking, redness, increased sensitivity, early signs of aging.
Le Secret™ Tip: Our customized hydrating serum helps restore moisture and support the skin barrier.

3. Oily Skin
Characteristics: Excess sebum, shine, enlarged pores, prone to blemishes.
Le Secret™ Tip: Don’t skip hydration! Our lightweight formulas help balance your skin without stripping it.

4. Combination Skin
Characteristics: Oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), normal to dry cheeks.
Le Secret™ Tip: Our zone-based approach targets each area with the care it needs.

5. Sensitive Skin
Characteristics: Reactive, prone to redness, irritation, and itching.
Le Secret™ Tip: Our soothing, gentle formulas are ideal for delicate skin.


How to Determine Your Skin Type – 3-Step Method

Step 1: The Morning Check

Before cleansing your face in the morning, observe your skin:

  • Normal: Feels balanced, not tight or oily

  • Dry: Feels tight, may show flakiness

  • Oily: Noticeable shine across the entire face

  • Combination: Shine on the T-zone only, cheeks feel comfortable


Step 2: The Tissue Test

In the middle of the day, gently press a tissue on your face:

  • Normal: Little to no residue

  • Dry: No residue, skin may feel tight

  • Oily: Oily spots across the entire tissue

  • Combination: Oil only on the T-zone area


Step 3: The Sensitivity Test

Observe how your skin reacts to products and the environment:

  • Do you often notice redness?

  • Does your skin tingle or itch after applying products?

  • Do you react to changes in temperature or stress?

If you answered “yes” to any of these, your skin is likely sensitive — regardless of your skin type.
