Understanding your skin type is important, but also tricky. There is often much confusion between skin types and skin concerns, making it hard to decide which types of products are right for your skin.
Your skin type is essentially the baseline - it’s largely determined by skin colour, genetics and how your skin reacts to what is put on it. So when we talk about skin types, we are referring to things such as:
- Dry skin
- Oily skin
- Sensitive skin
- Combination skin
Skin concerns are often a mix of your skin type and other external aggressors, such as the weather, your diet and sometimes even genetic factors. So while you may deal with some issues to do with your skin type, you may have skin concerns on top of those, such as:
- Ageing skin
- Rosacea
- Dermatitis
- Acne
The Skin quiz covers both your skin concerns and skin type to ensure that you find the best skincare routine for you.
