Although a healthy skin barrier is essential for all skin types, it is also important to remember that everyone’s skin is unique in many ways. This means that there is no “one size fits all” approach to achieving radiant, healthy-looking skin. However, there are several unifying characteristics to look for or questions you can ask your customers to help them & yourself understand their skin type.
Firstly always ask if they know their skin type before recommending products. If they aren't sure, you can recomend them to do one of the following tests:
