Knowing your skin type allows you to choose the right skin products that are best suited for you. Here is a simple quiz to determine your skin type.
1. OILY skin
You have a naturally dewy complexion. You wake up with a pool of oil on your face and your skin is prone to whiteheads and pimples.
2. Dry Skin
Your skin feels stretchy when you smile. You can notice flakes of dead skin and your face appears dull at times.
3. Combination Skin
Combination skin carries the features of both oily and dry skin. You might have oil plugs on your nose but your forehead looks dry and ashy.
4. Acne Prone Skin
You spend most of your time dreaming about having pimple-free skin. Your skin keeps developing fresh acne every day. You have enlarged pores and acne scars.
5. Mature Skin
Your skin appears older than your age. It looks saggy, rough and lacklustre. You may have started developing fine lines and crow's feet.
6. Sensitive Skin
It can be due to genetics or a broken skin barrier. Your skin reacts adversely to any topical treatments. It gets inflamed easily.
7. Normal Skin
Your skin is healthy and balanced. You do not need to use many products. You may get 1 or 2 pimples once in a long while but that's it.
Conclusion
Most often, our skin changes with age, diet and weather conditions. For more specific classifications, see a dermatologist.
