Your likely skin type
Normal
Your answers suggest your skin is generally balanced — not very oily and not very dry.
Also close:
What this usually means
Normal skin usually feels comfortable for most of the day, with little shine or flaking and pores that aren’t very noticeable.
It doesn’t mean your skin never changes. Weather, stress, hormones and new products can all shift how it behaves.
What you can explore
- A gentle cleanser that leaves your skin feeling comfortable, not tight.
- A moisturizer with a texture you enjoy using — often a lotion or light cream.
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day.
- Adding new products one at a time, so you can tell what works for you.

Your likely skin type
Dry
Your answers suggest your skin tends to feel tight or dry and may like extra moisture.
Also close:
What this usually means
Dry skin makes less natural oil, so it can feel tight after washing and look dull, rough or flaky — often more so in cold or dry weather.
Hot water, harsh cleansers and frequent exfoliating can make skin feel drier.
What you can explore
- A creamy or non-foaming cleanser, with lukewarm rather than hot water.
- Moisturizer applied while your skin is still slightly damp.
- A richer cream — ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid and ceramides are commonly used to help skin hold moisture.
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day.

Your likely skin type
Oily
Your answers suggest your skin makes more oil, with shine across most of your face.
Also close:
What this usually means
Oily skin often looks shiny by midday, and pores can look larger. Makeup may slide or fade faster.
Oil isn’t a bad thing — it helps protect your skin. Over-washing or harsh products can leave skin irritated rather than less oily.
What you can explore
- A gentle foaming or gel cleanser, morning and evening.
- A lightweight, oil-free moisturizer — skipping moisturizer isn’t necessary.
- Products labeled “non-comedogenic,” which are formulated not to clog pores.
- Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen — gel or fluid textures often feel lighter.

Your likely skin type
Combination
Your answers suggest some areas of your face are oilier than others — usually the forehead, nose and chin.
Also close:
What this usually means
With combination skin, the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) tends to get shiny while the cheeks feel normal or dry.
The balance can shift with the seasons — oilier in summer, drier in winter.
What you can explore
- A gentle cleanser that doesn’t leave your cheeks feeling tight.
- A lightweight moisturizer all over, with a little extra on drier areas.
- Using different products on different areas is completely fine.
- Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

The four skin types at a glance
Most skin care advice starts with these four general types. Your skin can also change over time.
Normal skin
Feels comfortable most of the day, with little shine or flaking and pores that aren’t very noticeable.
Dry skin
Often feels tight after washing and can look dull, rough or flaky — especially in cold or dry weather.
Oily skin
Looks shiny across most of the face by midday, with pores that are easier to see.
Combination skin
Shiny in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), with cheeks that feel normal or dry.
How to check your skin type at home
You can get a good sense of your skin type with a simple “bare face” check:
Wash gently
Use a mild cleanser and lukewarm water, then pat your face dry.
Skip products
Don’t apply moisturizer, serum or makeup for now.
Wait about 30 minutes
Go about your normal routine and let your skin settle.
Look and feel
Tight or flaky suggests dry skin. Shine only on your forehead, nose and chin suggests combination skin. Shine almost everywhere suggests oily skin. Comfortable and even suggests normal skin.
The quiz above asks about the same signs, plus how your skin behaves through the day and across seasons. For a fuller walk-through, read how to tell what your skin type really is.
A simple routine for every skin type
A basic routine has three steps. Your skin type mostly changes which textures feel best, not the steps themselves.
-
Cleanse
Use a gentle cleanser once or twice a day. Dry skin often prefers creamy, non-foaming cleansers; oily skin often prefers gel or foaming ones.
-
Moisturize
Every skin type can benefit from moisturizer. Richer creams tend to suit dry skin; lightweight, oil-free lotions or gels tend to suit oily skin. With combination skin, you can use a lighter layer on your T-zone.
-
Protect
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning, as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology — even on cloudy days.
When you add something new, try one product at a time so you can tell how your skin responds.
Skin type vs. skin concerns
Your skin type describes how oily or dry your skin tends to be. Concerns such as sensitivity, breakouts, redness or dark spots are different — they can happen with any skin type.
When to see a professional
If you have ongoing irritation, painful breakouts, persistent redness or any change that worries you, a board-certified dermatologist can help. This quiz can’t diagnose skin conditions.
Common questions
Can my skin type change?
Yes. Skin often changes with the seasons, climate, age, hormones and the products you use. It’s worth retaking the quiz if your skin starts to feel different.
Why did I get an “also close” result?
Some answers point to more than one type — for example, oily and combination skin share a lot of signs. The “also close” type is worth reading about too.
Is this quiz a diagnosis?
No. It’s general educational guidance based on how you describe your skin. It can’t detect skin conditions or replace advice from a qualified professional.
Do you save my answers?
No. The quiz runs entirely in your browser. Your answers aren’t sent to Loviax or stored anywhere.
