Why your skin type matters
Most skincare mistakes start with the wrong texture for your skin: a rich cream on oily skin, or a stripping cleanser on dry skin. Knowing your type tells you which textures and ingredients to reach for, and which to leave on the shelf.
Your type is a starting point, not a label for life. How your skin behaves this month, with this weather and this routine, matters just as much.
Questions
Dry, oily, combination and normal. Sensitivity is not a type of its own: any of the four can also be sensitive.
Yes. Seasons, hormones, age and even a new routine can shift it. Many people are drier in winter and oilier in summer, so it is worth checking again now and then.
No. Dry skin lacks oil; dehydrated skin lacks water. Even oily skin can be dehydrated, which is why it can feel tight and look shiny at the same time.
A quiz goes by how your skin feels. VIPAD’s Skin Analysis reads it from a selfie, including hydration, oiliness, texture and spots, and builds a routine around the result.
