Have you ever wondered why a cream that worked wonders for a friend didn’t work for your skin at all, or even worse
– caused a terrible reaction?

The short answer is that there are different skin types, and products that might cause one skin type to glow, might cause a severe irritation in another skin type. Understanding your own skin will not only help you take better care of it, you will also be able to choose products that compliment your skin type, rather than waste money on products that don’t deliver.

Dr Leslie Baumann (Cosmetic Dermatologist, USA) developed a Skin Typing system whereby you can analyse your skin in terms of 4 variables: Oily vs Dry, Sensitive vs Resistant,  Pigmented vs. Non pigmented, and Wrinkle vs. Tight.

So you might be a DSPW that struggles to find products that work for your skin, or you might be an ORNT not sure what the fuss is all about- your skin being radiant no matter what you use. Either way - there is more to your skin then you probably know, so determining your own skin type will provide valuable insight into caring for your skin.

For your convenience you can download the questionnaire (pdf) in the below link; all you need to do is print it and then circle the answers most true for you, calculate your score for each section, and email Dr Ansulette Kay your results to receive a short summary of your skin type.
