Most women do skincare every day, but the actual effect is not necessarily good. Only by understanding your own skin condition can you choose suitable products, such as for oily skin, do not use products for dry skin. There is a device called a ‘skin age’ meter, and some people want to know if the skin tester is reliable? Let’s find out together below.

Is the skin tester reliable?

Skin testers are not reliable. Human skin is very complex, affected by various factors such as the environment, temperature, and mood, and age is just one of them. The various data of the skin are constantly changing, and the skin condition at each position of a person’s body is also different. Therefore, it is impossible to determine a clear ‘skin age’ based on a single test.

How to know which skin type you are

1. Skin types are mainly divided into three categories: oily skin types, neutral skin types, and dry skin types. Different skin types have different characteristics.

2. People with oily skin types are actually very easy to distinguish. People with oily skin types generally have a lot of oil on their faces, especially in summer. If not controlled and moisturized, it will look very bad.

3. People with dry skin types have relatively small skin pores, but the skin looks without elasticity, lacks moisture. The skin of dry skin types is thin and sensitive, and is prone to over-tightening.

4. People with neutral skin types have good skin, without significant oiliness, tight skin pores, and flexible body cells, so people with neutral skin types generally do not have acne on their faces.

The response to the question ‘Is the skin tester reliable?’ is a denial. To understand which skin type you belong to, it cannot be detected by the equipment, and you need to observe your own skin more. Only after knowing your skin condition can you purposefully choose skincare products. For dry skin, choose those with excellent moisturizing and hydrating effects; for oily skin, choose those that control oil and moisturize.
