The K-drama fever hasn’t only influenced the viewing habits of countless ladies (and gents). With all those porcelain-skinned lead stars parading before them on TV, the genre has had a profound effect on fans’ skin-care regimens, as well. Small wonder, actually. Skin has a direct influence on the way we see ourselves, and skin problems affect our self-esteem.
Taking care of yourself includes investing in the right skincare regimens. “Omo!” is a Korean-inspired skincare brand that offers customized whitening skincare that caters to your specific skin type.
After all, there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to skincare. Different skin types react differently to certain ingredients. Rashes, breakouts and perhaps burning sensations could be the result of using the wrong products. The first step towards building your skincare in order to achieve glowing skin is to know your skin type.
Determining your skin type
If you still don’t know your skin type, you can find out through two methods: the bare-faced method and the blotting sheet method.
For the bare-faced method, cleanse your face and leave it dry for 40 minutes. To determine your skin type, check the cheeks, forehead, chin and nose. If you find that these areas are shiny or greasy, chances are you have oily skin. If those areas are a bit sensitive, then you might be prone to breakouts and itchiness. Lastly, when normal skin is flaky, then you might have dry skin. Combination skin is when you can see shine on the T-zone area (nose, forehead and chin), but cheeks are a bit normal to dry. If its sensitive, you see a bit of shine in the T-zone, but it looks more radiant than just plain grease. If you have normal skin, your skin should feel nice and velvety.
To check your skin using the blotting sheet method, just pat with a blotting paper and see how much oil is absorbed. Normal skin should have tiny amounts of oil; not excessive at all. If all areas of your skin are oily including the cheeks, you have oily skin. If you have dry skin, the oil sheet will not have any visible oil. For combination skin types, the sheet used would have very little oil. The ones on the forehead nose, and chin should have some noticeable oil.
