Understanding your skin type is an important first step to knowing how to care and look after it.
Aside from this, it can be really useful when buying new skincare products since it gives you the ability to target problem areas and decrease things like excessively oily or dryness.
Whatever your skin type is there is a product out there suitable for you!

Put this moisturizer on at night to neutralize the damaging effects of free-radical activity from the sun, stress, and pollution, which helps the skin repair itself and fight visible signs of aging.
Winter months and cold climates result in dry, itchy, chapped skin. Cold air and having heaters on full blast causes skin to become extremely irritated, crack, and loose its flexibility. Protect your skin with an intensive moisturizer, like this creme that will soften even the driest of skin.
Extra tip: If you have a combination of skin types such as normal and dry, you can actually buy two different products: one for normal skin and the other for dry skin. Apply the product for dry skin only on the dry areas of your face and the same is true for the product for normal skin. This way you can easily maintain that balance of your skin.
