Understanding Different Skin Types:

1.Oily Skin:

Characterized by excess sebum, oily skin can lead to a shiny complexion, particularly in the T-zone. Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic products to avoid clogged pores.

2. Dry Skin:

Dry skin often feels tight and may appear flaky. Hydration is crucial, so focus on nourishing products that provide moisture and help maintain a supple texture.

3. Combination Skin:

This type features both oily and dry areas, typically with an oily T-zone and drier cheeks. Balance is key, so use products that cater to these varying needs.

4. Sensitive Skin:

Prone to redness and irritation, sensitive skin requires gentle, soothing products that are hypoallergenic and fragrance-free.

Skincare Preparation: The Foundation of Flawless Makeup

Begin your skincare routine weeks before your wedding to ensure your skin is in optimal condition.

1. Oily Skin:

Cleanse with a gentle, purifying cleanser to control oil, and use The Body Shop's Tea Tree Mattifying Lotion for lightweight hydration.

2. Dry Skin:

Exfoliate regularly and moisturize with The Body Shop's Vitamin E Moisture Cream to keep skin smooth and hydrated.

3. Combination Skin:

Target different areas with The Body Shop’s Seaweed Oil-Control Gel Cream for the T-zone and Vitamin E Moisture Cream for drier areas.

Sensitive Skin:

Opt for The Body Shop’s Aloe Soothing Day Cream to calm and hydrate without irritation.
