NFI, what skin type you have?

Not knowing your skin type is like taking your vegan friend out for steak night. It upsets her. So here's how to find out which type you have.

Step 1: Wash your face

Take off the day's makeup, dirt, and grime. Go au naturel, just the way I like you.

Step 2: Do something entertaining for two hours

Let your skin settle into its natural state. Dance, bake, watch a show. Whatever works.

Step 3: Take a good look at yourself

Wow, aren't you a fine babe. Take a closer look at your face. What do you see? How does it feel? Choose from one of the answers below.

"Damn, I look good."

Your skin isn't oily, it isn't dry. Your pores look fine and your skin doesn't feel tight. You've got normal skin. Take a bow. It's what every babe wants and it's pretty simple to take care of. Watch out for sunspots, the occasional breakout, and blackheads. Sunscreen, regular exfoliation, and a skin-friendly diet will keep it that way.

"I feel tighter than Spanx after an all-you-can-eat restaurant."

You're dry. Drier than the Sahara, drier than last week's doughnut. I feel ya. Be careful with exfoliating: harsh exfoliators can strip your skin, so reach for something gentle. Follow up with a hydrating face mask that gives rather than takes. My Glow Mask is full of natural oils and butters that sink in deep to deeply nourish dry skin.

"I feel as greasy as a leftover hash brown at 5am."

You've got oily skin. Oily skin is actually dehydrated and can make you more prone to breakouts. It needs a lot of love to keep you dewy, not distressed. Start on the inside with water and hydrating foods like cucumber and watermelon. On the outside, use lightweight natural ingredients like sweet almond, grapeseed, or coconut oil to nourish your skin so it won't overproduce oil.

"I feel like I'm having an identity crisis."

Combination skin, babe. Neither here nor there. Don't call the psychologist, call on me. Natural oils are your new best friend: they love the dry bits and are light enough not to disrupt the oily bits. Look for rosehip, jojoba, or sweet almond oils. Full of fatty acids that feed and protect your skin so it can feel more like itself.
