Real talk: Are you treating skincare trends or your actual skin barrier? 🧴🩹

We’ve all bought a viral K-beauty product only to end up with breakouts or sudden redness. Usually, that means we are treating a trend instead of our actual skin type—which constantly changes with age, hormones, and the seasons.
Before buying your next product, let's reset on the 5 skin types:
• Normal: Perfectly balanced oil and moisture. Resilient and smooth.
• Dry: Lacks oil. Feels tight, looks dull, and flakes easily in cold weather.
• Oily: All-over shine, enlarged pores, and highly prone to breakouts.
• Combination: Overproduced oil in the T-zone (forehead/nose), but dry or normal cheeks.
• Sensitive: Fragile barrier. Easily triggered into redness, stinging, or itching.
