Your skin type can be determined by observing how your skin behaves. Common types include oily, dry, combination, and sensitive. If unsure, consult with a dermatologist for a professional assessment.

A basic skincare routine includes cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen during the day. This routine can be adjusted based on your specific skin type and concerns.

Exfoliation should be done 1-2 times a week for most skin types. Over-exfoliating can cause irritation and damage to the skin barrier.

Acne can be caused by a variety of factors including hormonal changes, excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, and certain skincare products. Stress and diet can also contribute to acne.

To reduce dark circles and puffiness, ensure you get adequate sleep, stay hydrated, and use products containing ingredients like caffeine, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid. Gentle massage and cold compresses can also help.
