The 5-Minute Skin Test — Let’s get into it!

01. Cleanse your face and pat dry using a clean cloth.

02. Wait for 5 minutes—do not apply any products.

03. Observe how your skin feels and looks.

The key is to really observe what your skin is feeling as this will tell you all about your skin type.

Step 2: Identifying Your Skin Type

Oily Skin

Your skin appears shiny, especially on the forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone). You feel like your skin isn’t “fully cleansed”.
Pores look more visible.
You often deal with breakouts.

Best Moisturizer for Oily Skin: Choose a lightweight, oil-free formula that hydrates without clogging pores like Nuori's Vital Facial Cream or Ariadne's Perfect Balance Hydrator.

Combination Skin

Your T-zone is oily, but your cheeks feel dry or normal.
Some areas may feel tight, while others appear shiny.

Best Moisturizer for Combination Skin: Look for a lightweight yet hydrating formula that balances both dry and oily areas like Mielev's La Roseraie.

Dry Skin

Your skin feels tight, rough, or flaky. You’ll even notice some light peeling.
Fine lines may look more noticeable.

Best Moisturizer for Dry Skin: Opt for rich, deeply hydrating creams with nourishing ingredients like Nuori's Protect+ Cream & Ariadne's Hydro-Elasticity.

Sensitive Skin

Your skin turns red or irritated easily.
You may experience burning, itching, or dryness.

Best Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin: Stick to fragrance-free, calming formulas with soothing ingredients like Lesse’s Essential Moisturizer or Nuori's Protect+ Cream

Normal Skin

Your skin feels balanced—not too dry or too oily.
You rarely experience breakouts or sensitivity.

Best Moisturizer for Normal Skin: Use a lightweight, nourishing cream that maintains hydration like Nuori's Vital Facial Cream or Mielev's La Roseraie.
