Skin care is not only limited for women. It is also a necessity for men and a good facial Moisturiser for men is an essential skin care product. Choosing the right men facial Moisturiser begins with knowing what your skin type is. The common skin types include normal, dry, oily, sensitive, combination, and mature. To know your skin type, you can perform a self-test on your skin.
First, you have to wash your face thoroughly and pat dry it with a clean towel. Do not rub the towel on your face as it can cause skin irritation. Take a small piece of tissue paper and press it in different areas of your face. After doing this, check whether the tissue paper sticks on the skin or not, becomes oily, or becomes translucent.
If the tissue paper becomes translucent or oily from your entire face, you have oily skin. If it only becomes translucent in nose and forehead area, known as the T-zone, you have a combination skin where the T-zone is oily and the rest is normal. If the tissue paper does not show any hint of oil, the skin is dry. If you instant have irritation after pressing the tissue paper on your skin, you have sensitive skin. If you are aged 40 years and above, you have mature skin. Otherwise, your skin type is normal.
