Why Should You Understand Your Skin Before Starting a Skincare Routine?

A healthy, glowing complexion doesn’t come from following skincare trends or using expensive products. It begins with truly understanding your skin—its type, current condition, and changing needs. At Ecamels, we believe that knowing your skin is the foundation of effective, personalized skincare.

When you understand what your skin needs, choosing the right products becomes easier—and results come faster.

The 5 Basic Skin Types and How to Identify Yours

Before choosing a cleanser, moisturizer, or treatment, it’s essential to know your skin type. At Ecamels, our skincare advisors base their product recommendations on five common skin types:

Normal skin: Balanced, soft, smooth, and rarely problematic
Oily skin: Excess sebum, shiny appearance, prone to acne
Dry skin: Lacks oil and moisture, prone to flakiness and tightness
Combination skin: Oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose), dry or normal on the cheeks
Sensitive skin: Easily irritated, prone to redness and stinging

Identifying your skin type helps ensure you choose the right formulas and avoid irritation or breakouts.

Beyond Skin Type: Understanding Skin Condition

Even if your skin type is consistent, its condition can change daily or seasonally. For example, oily skin can become dehydrated in winter, or sensitive after using retinoids.

Common skin conditions to consider:

 Dehydration or dullness
 Active breakouts or inflammation
 Enlarged pores
 Skin recovery or damage phase

At Ecamels, we emphasize tailoring your skincare to your skin’s current condition—not just its type—to achieve optimal results.

Skincare by Age – Ecamels’ Personalized Approach

Your skin’s needs evolve with age. Ecamels designs skincare routines and product lines to meet these changing demands:

 Ages 20–25: Focus on cleansing, oil control, and preventing breakouts
 Ages 25–35: Add hydration and antioxidant protection
 Ages 35+: Emphasize repair, deep hydration, and anti-aging support

Instead of sticking to one routine for years, Ecamels encourages you to adjust your skincare strategy with time and age.

Common Mistakes When You Don’t Understand Your Skin – What Ecamels Warns Against

1. Following Trends Without Knowing Your Skin

Many of our clients come to Ecamels after experiencing irritation from viral products like high-strength retinol or vitamin C, which may not suit their skin.

2. Overloading Your Skincare Routine

Oily skin with too many moisturizing layers can lead to clogged pores, while dry skin treated with harsh cleansers can become even more irritated.

3. Confusing Oily Skin with Dehydrated Skin

Oily skin doesn’t always mean it’s moisturized. Often, it’s your skin overcompensating for a lack of water—a condition Ecamels frequently helps clients identify and correct.

How to Identify Your Skin Type at Home – Ecamels’ Simple Test

Step 1: Wash your face and leave it bare (no products).

Step 2: Wait 2 hours.

Step 3: Use blotting paper to check oil levels on different areas.

Results:

 Oil all over the face → Oily skin
 Oil in the T-zone only → Combination skin
 No oil, skin feels tight → Dry skin
 Slight oil, soft texture → Normal skin
