How do I determine my skin type or does it matter??

[Guest guest]

Last one for a while, promise. With all this flakiness going on it is hard for

me to figure out my skin type. Maybe it does not matter except that Dr. sy had

two soaps. One for normal/oil and one for dry/sensitve? And she advises that it

is important to get the sebum off the skin so that it does not lead to further

irritation. I have had bouts of sebderm so I don't want inadequate cleansing to

further complicate the flakies caused by rosacea.

And I am also concerned about which Rx topical. Metrogel is more for oily skin

while the Nortitate is for drier skins?

Is there an idiot proof way to determine what my underlying skin type is.

take care
