Answer 7 simple questions about how your skin behaves and we'll tell you exactly what skin type you have — plus a personalised routine to match.
Know your skin
Understanding your skin type is the foundation of every effective skincare routine. Here's what each type means and how to spot it.
Feels tight after cleansing. Prone to flakiness, fine lines, and dullness. Needs rich hydration and barrier repair.
Appears shiny, especially by midday. Large pores, prone to breakouts. Needs balance — not stripping.
Oily T-zone with normal or dry cheeks. The most common type. Needs zone-specific treatment.
Balanced, comfortable, minimal concerns. The goal is maintenance and prevention rather than correction.
Reacts easily to new products. Prone to redness, stinging. Needs fragrance-free, minimal formulations.
How it works
Our quiz uses behavioural indicators — how your skin actually acts — rather than appearance alone, which gives more accurate results than visual-only assessments.
We ask how your skin behaves throughout the day, not just how it looks right now.

Questions
Yes — skin type is not fixed for life. Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, puberty), climate, diet, medications, and age can all shift your skin type. Retaking this quiz every 6-12 months or after a significant life change is recommended.
Skin type (dry, oily, combination, normal, sensitive) is largely genetic and describes your skin's default behaviour. Skin conditions (dehydration, acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea) are things that happen to your skin based on external factors and can be temporary or treated.
This is common because many quizzes ask about appearance rather than behaviour. Our quiz focuses on how your skin acts throughout the day — after cleansing, by midday, in the morning — which is more reliable than a snapshot assessment.
Yes — this is combination skin. It's actually the most common skin type. Your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) is oily while your cheeks and outer face are normal to dry. Your routine should treat these zones differently.
Not necessarily. Sensitive skin means your barrier is more reactive than average, but this doesn't always mean you have allergies. Common triggers include synthetic fragrance, alcohol, strong acids, and essential oils. A patch test before every new product is essential for sensitive skin types.
