Which Products Should You Really use for Your Skin Type?

Choosing the right skincare products starts with knowing your skin type. Using the wrong products can lead to breakouts, irritation, or dryness. At Glovista, we believe in personalised skincare for healthy, glowing skin. Let's find out what works best for you

Identify Your Skin Type

  • Normal Skin 
    Well-balanced, smooth texture, small pores, rarely breaks out or feels dry.

  • Oily Skin
    Shiny appearance, large pores, prone to acne and blackheads.

  • Dry Skin
    Feels tight, flaky patches, fine lines more visible, may feel itchy.
  • Combination Skin
    Oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) but normal to dry cheeks.
  • Sensitive Skin
    Reacts easily to products, experiences redness, burning, or irritation.
