Expand All Guide SectionsSkin Types
Skin types are often separated into three basic categories: oily, dry and combination. Your skin type determines pretty much every aspect of your skin care routine, so it’s essential to know what it is before you start buying products.
Insights for Skin Types
- Skin types can change with time—especially as people grow out of adolescence. If your skin used to be oily or acne-prone, for example, you might consider reevaluating it for changes now.
- Seasons also affect skin type: Many people experience dryness in the winter months, for example, or oiliness after getting a tan. If your skin is doing things out of the ordinary, you may need to alter your regimen based on the time of year.
- The three main skin type distinctions can be limiting; many people have skin that lies somewhere in between. The sites in this section take into account the fact that not everyone fits exactly into one type.
