For some cases it’s more obvious (e.g. dry skin tends to be flaky, oily might be, uh, shinier?), but when it’s not to the extremes but also maybe not a mix, what’s a decent rule of thumb to narrow it down?
Similar regarding sensitivity. A lot of skincare products market towards these conditions with the expectation that you’ll know somehow, but it’s not always so obvious, and a doctor’s visit isn’t always affordable (which is probably the best answer here, tbh, but let’s suppose it’s not a severe skin condition one’s trying to identify).
Agreed! I would say “skin types” is a made up term to make marketing products easier. In reality it’s much more complicated than that. (And thanks for the book tip, now I got something new to read 😍)
Hey, I just wanna say that I appreciate your efforts at moderating this sub and I’ve noticed a lot of really helpful comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Thank you, I really appreciate that! Lemmy is currently mostly filled with tech and similar topics so I hope communities like ours can make Lemmy more appealing to a broader demographic of people. And of course I’m obsessed with skincare so I’m happy to moderate here ☺️
