Skin can be moody. Think of it like your BFF with a hangover. You need to feed it the right food, or else it’ll get even crankier. And while one person might love fried food the morning after, another needs energy drinks and protein smoothies. 

Skincare, like babes with hangovers, isn’t a one size fits all solution. By understanding your skin type, you can know what food, I mean skincare, to feed it.

1. Take a look in the mirror. What do you see?

A. Dull looking skin and a tight feeling when you smile.
B. A shine brighter than diamonds, from your forehead to your cheeks.
C. A little from column a, a little from column b.
D. Some redness and bumps. And that’s from just looking at it.

2. How does your skin feel when you touch it.

A. Rough, tight, and scaly.
B. Slick and greasy.
C. Oily in some places, dry in others.
D. Ouch. Don’t do that.

3. What’s one beauty product you can’t go without:

A. A hydrating moisturiser.
B. A mattifying powder.
C. A facial spray.
D. Honestly, everything pisses your skin off.

4. What’s your relationship like with zits?

A. You don’t get zits often, but get bumps and flakiness.
B. You hate them, but they can’t get enough of you.
C. They always pop up in the same spots.
D. They’re not really zits, more redness and rashes.
