What's Your Skin Type? Your skin type changes with time, so if you have had your skin assessed more than a year ago it is time to do it again! See the guide at the end of the questionnaire for a rough guide to your skin type.

Hopefully it will become more refined in time, but at present it is just to give you an idea of your skin type. It does not take into account things such as incidences of acne or sensitive skin. These things can occur in any type of skin for many reasons including illness, bad maintenance, nutritional deficiencies, or stress (emotional, physical or environmental). 80-160: oily, combination 160-205: combination, normal 210-310: dry To find out how to make your own products to suit your skin type, visit the DIY page!
