Knowing your skin type is an important first step in building a skincare routine. Different skin types need to be cared for in different ways and with different types of products. However, most people’s skin can be classified into four broad categories:
- Oily Skin: This one is pretty self-explanatory. If you have excess oil all over your skin, chances are you will come out of the skin type quiz with an oily designation.
- Combination: This is a combination of dry and oily skin. So, if your T-zone; the area between your forehead, nose, and chin, are oily and your cheeks are dry, your quiz result may say your skin is combination skin.
- Dry: If your skin is flaky, rough, and drinks up the moisturizer, you might take the skin type quiz and find you have dry skin.
- Sensitive: This is easily irritated skin—especially when you interact with new products or environments—is an indicator of sensitive skin.
Take the quiz below to find out your skin type.
Be aware that your skin type can change from time to time. This is influenced by various factors such as hormones or stress or age.
