Understanding your skin type is the first step towards achieving a healthy, radiant complexion. At 2BETRUE, we believe that knowledge is power, and we're here to guide you through the process of identifying your skin type and selecting the right products to create a personalized skincare routine. In this new blog post, we'll walk you through the basics of skin types and share our top 2BETRUE product recommendations for each.

The Four Common Skin Types

While everyone's skin is unique, most people fall into one of four common skin type categories: normal, oily, dry, and combination. Let's take a closer look at the characteristics of each skin type to help you determine which one best describes your complexion.

1. Normal Skin

• Appears balanced, neither oily nor dry
• Has a smooth, even texture
• Exhibits few imperfections and blemishes
• Pores are barely visible

• Gentle Cleanser: Keep your skin balanced and refreshed with our soothing, nature-derived cleanser.
• Lightweight Moisturizer: Maintain optimal hydration levels without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Antioxidant Serum: Protect your skin from environmental stressors and maintain its youthful glow.

2. Oily Skin

• Prone to excess oil and shine, particularly in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin)
