To choose a soap, focus above all on how your skin feels after washing and throughout the day. No need for a complicated diagnosis.
1. Your skin feels tight after washing
It may be lacking comfort, or your cleansing routine might be too intense. Start with lukewarm water, less rubbing, and a simpler product. Clean skin does not have to "squeak."
2. Your face gets shiny quickly
Observe where the shine appears. If it is mainly on the forehead, nose, and chin, your skin may be combination. If it is more general, take a look at the options suggested for oily skin.
3. Your cheeks and T-zone are different
You might have a shiny nose and dry cheeks. Don't force the same approach everywhere. Our guide to cleansing combination skin will help you easily adapt your routine.
4. Your skin reacts easily
Redness, discomfort, or tingling after using many products are signs to heed. Cut back on new products and check for fragrance as well as essential oils. An unscented soap may be simpler to test.
5. Which MÂPÔ soap should you look at?
The Find Your Soap guide categorizes our products by need. Calendula and Kokum are fragrance-free; Charbon is intended for oily or combination skin and contains essential oils.
In short
Observe tightness, shine, and reactions. Then, choose a simple formula, and keep using it only if your skin remains comfortable.
