Get to Know Your Skin
Use everyday observations to find a tentative starting point, without treating a quiz as a diagnosis.
Notice before you label
Think about your skin on ordinary days over the past week. Notice where it becomes shiny, where it feels tight or flaky, and whether your cheeks feel different from your forehead, nose, and chin.
You do not need to leave your skin unwashed, skip moisturizer, or go without sunscreen to observe it. If makeup, weather, or a recent product change makes the pattern unclear, choose unsure.
Tip
A tight feeling after washing can come from the cleanser or washing habits. It does not prove that your skin is naturally dry.

Complete Your Skin-Type Quiz using your recent observations. If you cannot answer confidently, use the unsure result rather than forcing a label.
Use the result lightly
Dry describes a pattern of dryness or tightness; oily describes noticeable oiliness across much of the face. Combination means different areas behave differently, while balanced means neither dryness nor oiliness is usually prominent.
These are starting descriptions, not permanent categories. Season, hormones, products, and your environment can change what you notice.
Comfort is a separate clue
Sensitivity can occur with any skin type. Repeated stinging, itching, burning, or redness deserves attention even if your quiz result is oily or balanced.
Choose gentle basics rather than trying to correct every feeling with another product. Persistent or severe discomfort belongs in a conversation with a dermatologist, not another online quiz.
Tip
Fragrance-free products may be a useful starting preference when your skin reacts easily, but no label guarantees that a product will suit you.

Write one comfort priority in your quiz: less tightness, less heavy-feeling residue, fewer episodes of stinging, or another specific observation.
