How To Identify Your Skin Type | Dermatologist's Golden Rules

Think you know your skin? Think again.
In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, consultant dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid reveal why truly understanding your skin type is the ultimate foundation for great skin... and how most of us are getting it wrong.

Discover what your skin is really telling you: from oiliness, sensitivity, and pigmentation to collagen health - the four pillars that define your unique skin behaviour. Learn how to read your skin’s signs, avoid marketing myths, and choose products that actually work for you, not your best friend or favourite influencer.

You’ll also hear dermatologist-approved product tips, including gentle cleansers for sensitive skin, barrier-supporting moisturisers, and ingredients that balance oil, prevent pigmentation, and calm redness.

Products mentioned in order:

• La Roche Posay Toleriane Range
• Avène Tolérance Range - Gel Cleansing Lotion & Hydra-10 Moisturising Fluid
• The DayScript from Klira
• Eucerin Anti-pigment range
• La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Range
