Skin Routine Quiz · a self-observation quiz, not a diagnosis
What's actually going on with your skin?
Twelve everyday observations about how your skin behaves — not a diagnosis, a pattern. It does not name a product and it does not promise a result. It tells you which of four skin types your answers point toward, and the order to put things on.

Four skin types
-
Oily
produces oil faster than it needs to, especially through the T-zone
-
Dry
runs short on both oil and water — tight after cleansing, quick to flake
-
Sensitive
reacts before it looks like anything's wrong — the first sign is usually a feeling, not a mark
-
Acne-Prone
breaks out in the same zones on a recurring cycle, not just occasionally
By mid-afternoon, without blotting or touching up, your face looks…
The four skin types
Each type is a description of observed behaviour, not a diagnosis — and each is free in full, whether or not you take the quiz.

How this works
This is a self-observation quiz, not a diagnosis. It asks twelve questions about what your skin actually does in everyday situations, and it shows you where your answers point. The scoring is simple and it is shown to you: the four type scores appear as numbers on every result, so you can see exactly why you landed where you did — and disagree.
The result is a pattern, not a verdict. You get your skin type, its description, a basic routine, and your own scores. Nothing you answer is transmitted, and no answer ever enters a URL.
These are general category recommendations, not personalised medical advice. Skin behaviour varies by person, and a routine is a description of a pattern, not a diagnosis. For an actual skin concern, see a dermatologist.
Common questions
- What is a skin type, exactly?
- On this site, a skin type is a description of observed behaviour — how your skin responds to midday shine, cleansing, new products, weather, and breakouts. It is tallied from twelve everyday observations, and it is not a diagnosis of a skin condition.
- Is this a medical or dermatology tool?
- No. This is a self-observation quiz. It does not diagnose a skin condition, and it is not a substitute for a dermatologist. It describes a pattern you can already see in how your skin behaves, and it recommends products by category only, never by brand.
- Does the site know me or store my answers?
- No. Your answers are scored in your browser and never leave your device. There is no account, no cookie, and no network request carrying your choices. If you open an offer, your answers are held in that tab's session storage for the trip out and back, and your browser deletes them when you close the tab.
- What do I get for free?
- Your skin type, named, with its description; the basic 2–3 step routine; your four type scores shown as numbers; and the combination note when two types are close. The full morning and night routine is behind a single optional gate.
- Why does the site never name a product?
- Because a named product is a claim this site cannot back — it cannot know your budget, availability, or how your skin will respond to a specific formula. A category ("a niacinamide serum," "a mineral SPF 30+") is durable, honest, and still actionable: you can search that exact phrase and find several correct answers.
- What happens if my top two types are close?
- When the top two types are within two points, the result names both as a genuine combination lean — most commonly an oily T-zone with drier cheeks, which is a real and common pattern. It is surfaced rather than silently resolved.
