1. Understanding Skin Types
There are four main skin types:
- Dry skin: Thin, tight, flaky, dull, with closed pores.
- Normal skin: Balanced moisture, supple, youthful appearance, no open pores.
- Oily skin: Excess oil production, shiny but dull, prone to pimples/acne, sensitive.
- Combination skin: Mix of oily and dry/normal zones (e.g., oily T-zone or C-zone).
How to identify your skin type:
- Wash your face before bed and avoid applying products overnight.
- In the morning, observe your skin and perform a tissue test on the T-zone and C-zone.
- Repeat this test multiple times to confirm your skin type, considering weather effects.
2. CTM Routine: Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing
- Cleansing: Use a cleanser suitable for your skin type or natural alternatives such as raw milk (for dry skin) or curd (for oily/combination skin).
- Toning: Restores skin elasticity after washing.
- Use rose water or a commercial toner.
- Apply with outward strokes.
- Moisturizing: Use a moisturizer suited to your skin type.
- Sunscreen: Essential for protection against UVA, UVB rays, and indoor radiation (screens, lights).
- Apply sunscreen morning and night.
- Reapply regularly throughout the day.
- Frequency: Follow the CTM routine twice daily (morning and night) and after returning home from outside.
