When it comes to achieving radiant, healthy skin, one of the most important steps is understanding your skin type. Knowing your skin type helps you choose skincare products — especially serums — that deliver real results without causing irritation or imbalance.
At Shigeru Beauty, we believe that personalized skincare is the key to unlocking your skin’s true potential. In this guide, we’ll help you discover your unique skin type and show you how to pick the perfect serum from our luxurious collection to nourish, protect, and transform your skin.
Why Knowing Your Skin Type Matters
Your skin type influences how your skin behaves, what it needs, and how it reacts to different ingredients. Using the wrong serum for your skin type can lead to breakouts, dryness, oiliness, or sensitivity. By identifying your skin type, you can:
Target specific concerns like dryness, oiliness, or dullness
Choose ingredients that support your skin’s natural balance
Maximize the benefits of your skincare routine
How to Identify Your Skin Type in 4 Simple Steps
1. Cleanse Your Face Gently
Start with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup and impurities without stripping your skin.
2. Wait and Observe
Pat your skin dry and wait for about an hour without applying any products. This allows your skin to return to its natural state.
3. Assess Your Skin’s Behavior
Look closely at your face and note the following:
| Skin Type | Key Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Dry Skin | Tight, flaky, rough patches |
| Oily Skin | Shiny, greasy, prone to acne |
| Combination | Oily in T-zone (forehead, nose), dry elsewhere |
| Normal Skin | Balanced, smooth, no visible issues |
| Sensitive Skin | Redness, itching, irritation easily triggered |
4. Test with Blotting Paper (Optional)
Press a blotting paper on different areas of your face. If it picks up a lot of oil from your forehead and nose, you likely have oily or combination skin.
