I have slightyly tanned skin. I have bumps on my forehead, cheeks and the space between my eyes and my nose. I rarely get acne. How do I find out what skin type I am? And which facial cleanser should I use? Please suggest a big brand because I live in Korea. There is a lot of Clean%26amp; Clear, Cetaphil, Body Shop, Nivea, and Neutrogena.What skin type am I and what facial cleanser should I use?
these are the general skin types =
sensitive skin = if you have bad reaction to skincare products that tend to have harsh ingredients. cetaphil is great to use if you have sensitive skin =p plus its cheap!!!!
dry skin = you always feel that your skin tends to dry even during hotter weather. you always feel like you need to slap extra moisturiser on your face. if this is your skin type, use a cleanser that is cream-based. neutrogena has one called deep clean cream cleanser. plus, opt for cream rather than a lotion since cream is richer in moisture.
combination skin = you always find oil around your T zone ( forehead, nose and chin) but your cheeks are either normal or dry. look for products that is specialised for combination skin. apparently, cetaphil has a new range for oily/ combination skin. neutrogena has a moisturiser for combination skin as well.
oily skin = the name says it all. oil everywhere. you can use the cetaphil oily cleanser. neutrogena also has lots of range for oily skin e.g.: deep clean face wash.
acne/ blemished skin = lots of impurities on your face, acne/ blemishes/ pimples. if you have those large acne, you can use cetaphil gentle cleanser and a topical treatment of benzoyl peroxide although some people may find that this treatment can be irritating.
if you have tiny white bumps (white heads) or black stuff that looks like tiny hairs (black heads), then i would suggest you to find cleanser with salicylic acid/ BHA as it helps to clear those impurities. you can also use pore strips from biore for those stubborn blackheads on your nose... although it doesnt totally remove all the gunk, you can actually see a difference...
note that just because you have acne, it does not mean you have oily/ combination skin. you might have sensitive skin but still get acne!
and your skin type can change due to the weather, hormones in your body and your diet. so you might find yourself changing products to suit your skin needs.
um i dont really know of what's wrong with your skin during winter but maybe you just need to drink more fluids? and use a moisturiser with spf =p
or you can make an appointment to the dermatologist since he/she can specifically check your skin type and recommend products to use =p
good luckWhat skin type am I and what facial cleanser should I use?
Try Aveeno. I have oily skin and use their clear complexion formula but they also have just a regular one for normal skin. I won't use anything else on my face and my skin looks 100% times better than it did. I've been using it for three years!!!

The best place to go is to see a SA at a department store counter. They can help you with your skin type and what cleanser to use. There is 100s out there. The one you use in Winter won't work generally in Summer and vice versa because of the change in the enviroment.
i had the same. then i got clearasil wipes and they went away by only using it once a day and in like 3 days, they were gone. you can find clearasil wipes at wallgreens, cvs, or some place like that for only $10
