Skin Type Assessment
Answer questions about your skin to determine your type
Formula
Skin type is determined by scoring oiliness, pore size, post-wash feel, breakout frequency (oil score 4-16), and sensitivity (1-4). Oil score: 14+ = Oily, 11-13 = Combination, 8-10 = Normal, 4-7 = Dry. Sensitivity 3+ adds Sensitive classification.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main skin types?
The five main skin types are: Normal (balanced), Oily (excess sebum), Dry (lacks moisture), Combination (oily T-zone with dry/normal cheeks), and Sensitive (reactive, easily irritated). Many people have a mix.
Can your skin type change over time?
Yes, skin type can change due to aging, hormonal changes, climate, medications, and skincare routine. Oily skin in teens may become normal or dry with age. Seasonal changes also affect skin.
How do I determine my skin type at home?
The bare-face test: Cleanse your face, pat dry, wait 30 minutes without applying products. If your face is shiny all over, you likely have oily skin. Shiny T-zone only means combination. Comfortable means normal. Tight or flaky means dry.
