If you’re anything like us, you’ve got no time to waste when it comes down to understanding and working with your skin type, which is why we’ve created a simple guide to include your AM and PM routine according to what your mama gave ya…

First things first, let’s straighten things out. Skin type and skin condition are often used interchangeably, however, they are two totally different things and you work them in different ways.

Let’s keep it simple, shall we?

Your skin type is what you were born with ­– it’s your genes. It’s what your parents gave you. Understanding the types begins with knowing the four categories; dry, oily, normal and combination.

A skin condition, on the other hand, is what occurs as a result of your lifestyle or as a symptom of your skin type. Where the confusion usually comes into play is that most brands will try to sell you products based on your skin type when they should be targeting your skin condition.

Here, we break down the normal skin type, defining what it is and how to make it work.

How do I know if I have normal/combination skin?

Normal skin, on the whole, has very few problems (lucky you). It’s not too oily, it’s not too dry… it’s just right. If goldilocks could have her pick at a skin type, this would probably be it.

For this skin type, it’s not unheard of to experience a slightly oilier T-zone affecting the forehead nose and chin, but apart from that it’s smooth sailing.

Is this your type? If so, follow our basic guide to normal/combination skin:

AM routine

Begin by cleansing your face. Follow with eye cream dabbed on and around your orbital bone. Moisturise and apply sunscreen, or opt for a moisturiser containing an SPF of 30 or higher. Apply your make-up and you're good to go!

PM routine

Double Cleanse

Eye cream

Moisturiser if needed

Give your skin some extra love with exfoliation and facemasks once a week. Lucky for you, unlike other skin types, you’re able to indulge a bit more in at-home spa days!

Make your skin work using our top picks for your skin type:
