Quiz Outcomes

• 1.
  (Normal) Normal skin

  This skin type means that your skin is neither too oily, nor too dry. The T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) might be a little bit oilier but in overall the skin is balanced. There are just a few to no blemishes, and barely any visible pores.
• 2.
  (Normal) Acne prone normal skin

  Even though normal skin mostly comes with few to no blemishes, blemishes may still occur often to people with normal skin. Even if your skin is normal, you might have acne prone skin. This needs to be handled differently than skin with oily acne prone skin (which is more common). Acne prone means that skin breaks out easily, usually in terms of acne, blackheads and whiteheads.
• 3.
  Oily skin

  People with oily skin have a heightened sebum production. Oily skin has enlarged pores that are clearly visible, and the face is shiny. Oily skin in most cases is very much prone to acne, blackheads and whiteheads.
• 4.
  Dry skin

  Dry skin produces less sebum than normal skin. The skin might feel tight and looks rough. Next to the sebum, skin moisture has to do with the amount of water in the deeper laying skin layers.
• 5.
  (Combination) Minimal combination skin

  An oily T-zone and the rest of the face dry is the most common kind of combination skin. Though, the ratio of dry and oily can differ quite differently per person. We categorized it into minimal/normal, medium and extreme. Even though normal is kind of vague as normal for everyone is different, let’s see this as all that is in between the minimum and extreme. That is why it is important to get to know your skin really well to know what it is to you personally, and being aware of how your skin feels like on a daily basis. Let’s see this as the first-degree combination skin. You notice just how your T-zone differs in oiliness from the rest of your face that appears somewhat dryer. Let’s see this as the first-degree combination skin. You notice just how your T-zone differs in oiliness from the rest of your face that appears somewhat dryer.
• 6.
  (Combination) Normal/Medium combination skin

  An oily T-zone and the rest of the face dry is the most common kind of combination skin. Though, the ratio of dry and oily can differ quite differently per person. We categorized it into minimal, normal/medium and extreme. Even though normal is kind of vague as normal for everyone is different, let’s see this as all that is in between the minimum and extreme. That is why it is important to get to know your skin really well to know what it is to you personally, and being aware of how your skin feels like on a daily basis.
• 7.
  (Combination) Extreme combination skin

  An oily T-zone and the rest of the face dry is the most common kind of combination skin. Though, the ratio of dry and oily can differ quite differently per person. We categorized it into minimal, normal/medium and extreme. Even though normal is kind of vague as normal for everyone is different, in this case the ratio between the oily T-zone and dryer skin on the other parts of the face is extreme and very obvious. That is why it is important to get to know your skin really well to know what it is to you personally, and being aware of how your skin feels like on a daily basis.
• 8.
  (Combination) Reversed

  Yes. It exists. It is not as common as the "usual" combination skin but it is basically a dry T-zone and oilier cheeks/other parts of the face.
• 9.
  (Combination) Dry around mouth and eyes

  You might produce more sebum on all parts of your face, also cheeks, except around the eyes and mouth. You might notice more wrinkles and dullness around your eyes and mouth. This could definitely because the skin around these areas are thinner and therefore more likely to retain moisture like the parts with thicker skin.
• 10.
  (Sensitive) Sensitive skin

  Skin (most likely specific parts of the face depending per person), might be red, have rashes, swelling, flaking and might go hand in hand with feelings of prickling, itching, burning, and tightness. Some conditions that go together with sensitive skin is sun damage, Rosacea, and Eczema.
• 11.
  (Sensitive) Dry sensitive skin

  A mix of sensitive and dry: Skin that is dry and is sensitive/has sensitive spots.
• 12.
  (Sensitive) Oily sensitive skin

  A mix of sensitive and oily: Skin that is oily and is sensitive/has sensitive spots.
• 13.
  (Sensitive) Sensitive acne prone

  Skin that easily breaks out. Both the non-break out and break out areas can be sensitive separately or both at the same time. Simply said, a mix of sensitive skin and acne prone skin.
• 14.
  Dehydrated oily skin

  Even though your first thought might be dehydrated skin should be dry, well yes oily skin might seem hydrated, but your skin can definitely be oily but still dehydrated. This occurs when skin might have enough oil but lacks water. The theory behind this is, that when your skin feels that it is losing hydration, it will produce more oil to make up for it! Your skin might feel tight and have flaky parts while having naturally produced oil on your skin, still feeling greasy or oily while the skin is dehydrated!
• 15.
  (Normal) Normal skin (+Dehydrated)

  This skin type means that your skin is neither too oily, nor too dry. The T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) might be a little bit oilier but in overall the skin is balanced.

• 16.
  (Normal) Acne prone normal skin (+dehydrated)
