Most skincare advice assumes you know your skin type, and most people are guessing. These articles explain the Fitzpatrick scale, why faces get oily, the difference between dry and dehydrated skin, what the skin barrier is, and how far products can actually reach through its layers. Understanding these basics makes every other recommendation on the blog easier to apply.
An oilier T-zone and drier cheeks is not a skin type — it is the normal layout of every human face. What most people call combination skin is something else, and it needs one routine rather than two.
The Fitzpatrick scale was built to predict how skin burns, not what colour it is — which is exactly why so many people place themselves in the wrong type, and why that mistake has consequences.
