As you know, skin types are categorized as oily, dry, combination, normal, and combination with dehydration, but while these classifications are good standards, they don’t fully address the various skin concerns or their severity.

For example, extremely dry skin versus dry skin, or dehydrated oily skin versus extremely oily skin are difficult to identify using general classification methods.

Clearly identifying your skin condition is necessary to determine the care your skin needs. The more you know about your skin type,the better you can restore oil-moisture balance, decide which treatments and cosmetic ingredients to avoid, and maintain a balanced healthy skin~

During consultations, I notice many people describe their skin type as combination with dehydration, but when we check sebum, oil, pore size, moisture, dead skin cells, and fine wrinkles with MarkView (a skin diagnostic device), this often isn’t the case, which makes me feel sad thinking ‘so many people have incorrect information about their skinㅠㅠ

If you want to know your exact skin type, I recommend visiting Repic to get scanned with MarkView and MetaView

When selecting products for each skin type, it’s good to check the ingredients and, if necessary, test a small amount before using! Skin type can change with seasons, environment, and hormonal changes, so regular observation and management are important!

For all of you busy people, I’ve organized skin/toners • ampoules/serums • lotions • creams • sheet masks • sunscreens currently sold at Olive Young by skin concern, and I hope this will be helpful for those with dry skin.
