How to find out your TRUE skin type (even if you think you already know it) Aug 03, 2018

This is the first full Birthday Skin episode and we figured we should start in the same place you should when it comes to getting yourself a good skincare regime....Skin types. Sounds so simple right? Gotchaaa, it's not. We all know the different skin types but do you actually know what yours is? Probably not. And if you think you do, you could easily be wrong.... just like Amy was. She found out she's been using the wrong products for years by doing a bit of guesswork. We're chatting through the best way to find your true skin type so that the products you buy, make your skin the best it can be. Huge thank you to Sean, Dean and Kieran Lemon for creating our amazing podcast music.
