The first step towards beauty and skin care is identifying what type of skin you have. Is it too oily and acne prone? Or is it too rough and dry? Are you lucky enough to have normal skin or do you have a combination of both oily and dry skin? You can visit a dermatologist who can help you determine your skin type. Or, you can use a tissue to determine your skin type. Wipe your face with a tissue first thing after you wake up in the morning.
