Colouring and Skin Type

I think that is essential to know the skin type of the person writing the review of product in order to form a judgment about whether the product might behave similarly on your own skin.

So, with that in mind, here is some personal information about my colouring and skin type that you might find helpful to form your own view of whether a product might perform similarly on you.


Colouring
Fair with freckles, blue eyes and dark brown curly hair.  

Skin type
Oily. Think oil slick and you won’t be far wrong. Also prone to blemishes.

Under eye area
Dry. The only part of my face that gets any dryness. I also have quite a few fine lines appearing now. I also have serious dark circles going on under there thanks to a combination of genetics and small children.

Eyelids
Oily. Just like the rest of my face. Also mostly hooded.

Lips
Dry. Prone to flakiness. It doesn’t take much for a lipstick to emphasise the dryness of my lips.
