Figuring out your skin type

If you don’t know your skin type, it’s important to figure that out first.  In fact, knowing your skin type is half the battle.  That’s because all skin types oily sensitive dry or normal have different needs.  If your skin is dry, you shouldn’t be exfoliating every day.  Likewise, if you are acne prone, the frequency of exfoliating your skin is about 3-5 times per week – not every day.
