What is the best way to determine my skin type?

To determine your skin type, start with a clean face and wait for about an hour without applying any products. Observe your skin's condition: if it feels tight, you likely have dry skin; if it's shiny, you have oily skin; if only the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) is shiny, you have combination skin; and if it's neither too dry nor too oily, you have normal skin.

How often should I exfoliate my skin?

Exfoliation frequency depends on your skin type and the type of exfoliant used. Generally, it's recommended to exfoliate 2-3 times a week for oily and combination skin, and once a week for dry and sensitive skin. Always listen to your skin and adjust as needed.

What are the essential steps of a daily skincare routine?

A basic daily skincare routine typically includes cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen during the day. Additional steps can include using serums, eye creams, and treatments for specific concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation.
