What's your skin type?

Five quick questions about how your skin behaves day to day. At the end you get your skin type and products from my reviews that suit it.

1/5 How does your skin feel an hour after cleansing? Tight and dry It stings or turns slightly red Red and warm, as if it's burning Comfortable, or a bit oily in the T-zone

2/5 What happens when you try a new product? Almost never anything Sometimes it stings, then it passes Redness or bumps that last for days My skin starts to peel

3/5 How often do your cheeks and nose go red? Rarely After cleansing, wind or cold Often, from sun, heat, wine or spicy food Only in winter, when my skin is dry

4/5 How does your foundation or tinted SPF look by the end of the day? It clings to dry patches It looks fine, maybe a little shine Redness shows through Fine, but some products sting

5/5 What do you want most from skincare? Nothing that stings Less redness More hydration and fewer fine lines Glow and a nice complexion

Your result

Sensitive skin

Your skin reacts with stinging and tightness but calms down quickly. Choose gentle, fragrance-free cleansing and introduce one new product at a time.

Reactive skin prone to redness

Your skin reacts strongly and redness lingers. My rosacea skin is the same, so you'll find the most for you in my reviews. If redness doesn't go away, see a dermatologist.

Dry skin (and skin over 30)

Your skin lacks moisture and foundation clings to dry patches. Look for richer hydration and avoid drying products.

Normal to combination skin

Lucky you! Your skin rarely reacts, so you can experiment more freely. Focus on a good SPF and products that give glow.
