Not sure if your skin is dry, oily, combination or sensitive? This free skin type quiz helps you find out with three simple questions about how your skin feels after washing, by midday, and how your pores look. Knowing your skin type is the first step to a routine that actually works, instead of buying products at random. Answer honestly based on your bare skin, without makeup or heavy cream. The quiz scores your answers and suggests the skin type that matches most closely, plus a simple routine to start with. Choose one option for each question, then tap the button for your result. Each answer is counted as one point for a skin type. The type with the most points wins. If two types tie, the quiz defaults to combination skin, which is the most common type and the safest starting point. It gives a good starting point based on common signs, but it is not a medical diagnosis. If you have persistent redness, acne or irritation, see a dermatologist. Yes.
