Find Your Skin Type

What's my skin type? One of the keys to having beautiful skin is to accurately know what your skin type is so that you can care for it accordingly. Way too often, people begin a skin care regimen using products that are not specifically designed for their skin type, and instead of improving their skin condition, they actually worsen it.

Below, you will find a list of seven different skin types. Find the one that best matches your skin type. More often than not, you will fall into one category; however, in some cases, you may overlap with another skin type or two. But that’s OK, because everybody’s unique.

Balanced Skin or Normal Skin

Balanced Skin

Balanced or normal skin is neither too dry nor too oily. It’s evenly toned, free of blemishes, and has normal-sized pores. Balanced skin is soft and supple to the touch and usually requires minimal attention.

Dry Skin

Dry Skin

Dry skin lacks natural moisture and oil. When compared to other skin types, the skin appears flaky or scaly with a rough texture and is more prone to the rapid development of lines and wrinkles.

Oily Skin

Oily Skin

Oily skin has overactive sebaceous glands, which will give the skin a slick, shiny appearance within an hour after cleansing. Oily skin usually has medium- to large-sized pores and may or may not be prone to the development of acne. If your skin is oily, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will develop acne or pimples, but the pores can easily become clogged. One great benefit of having oily skin is that it is not prone to wrinkles and will remain youthful-looking over time. 

Combination Skin

Combination Skin

Combination skin is a result of two skin types occurring on the face. With combination skin, there will be both dry and oily areas. The T-zone is commonly oily, with enlarged pores that may develop blackheads and minor breakouts, while the cheeks and neck are typically dry, with possible flakiness.

Sensitive Skin 

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin frequently reacts negatively to most commonly known skin care products, mostly because of the products' synthetic ingredients, fragrances, alcohol, and artificial colors. These ingredients will cause the skin to develop irritated rash-like symptoms and excessive redness. In some cases, sensitive skin overreacts to sudden changes in the temperature and can sunburn easily.

Mature Skin

Mature Skin

Mature skin usually develops a thinner texture and lacks moisture. It shows visible facial lines and wrinkles and, in some cases, sun damage, depending on your skin exposure.

Environmentally Damaged Skin

Environmentally Damaged Skin

Environmentally damaged skin shows visible deep lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, a rough texture, and an uneven skin tone. This could be because of too much sun damage, pollution, or neglect in properly caring for the skin..
