Q: How do I know my skin type?

A: An easy way that you can do at home to find out your skin type is to wash your face with just water and wait about 10 ~ 15 minutes.

> If the skin feels a bit dry and tight afterwards, there is a good chance that you have normal ~ dry skin.
> Does your skin feel quite normal after washing and does it quickly become a bit greasy? Then you probably have more oily skin.
> Can you divide your face into zones where certain areas are always oily and other areas are always dry? Then you may have a combination skin type.

Q: What is pilling and how do I prevent it?

Patting the products well for absorption before applying the next layer can often prevent pilling.
