Hi Everyone! This video gives a general idea of your skin type. Remember, skin can be complicated, so you can have a lot more happening and that’s normal!
Holy cow! I had NO IDEA you could have a normal skin type and still be acne prone! That’s ME! I’m not oily, no dry patches. My skin felt great but it looked awful - acne 24/7, red patches, uneven skin tone ugh! So I thought I was oily because of all my acne, then I thought I was dry because my skin likes light oils, then I found out about damaged moisture barriers ✨✨✨ Focusing on repairing my moisture barrier transformed my skin. It’s sooo much healthier now. But I still never realized it was normal all this time! Normal (balanced sebum production), just damaged. Wow!
Just want to say thank you for all this info. I found your channel last month and started my skin care journey. I was suffering from a lot of acne and oil and scarring. Good news is I'm already seeing really good results :)
Team oily skin here haha ! It started when I hit puberty developing into acné prone skin that luckely settled down when I turned 25. I used to work in skincare industry and found out that the most simple of routine and products work best for me. Count myself lucky now with the oilyness, people often think I'm still in my early 30s when actually approaching mid 40s ;) Love your channel Susan, keeps me well updated and refreshed.
I definitely have dry skin with occasional few spots. Because the weather is changing and I live where it gets to below zero weather, I just started a new routine this week with retinol and a toner with HA and galactomyces from cosrx. My skin is so smooth and hydrated, I love it. So glad I bought a couple of new products
Hi there, great video thank you, however, is it possible to have dry and dehydrated skin? I have both dry and dehydrated "symptoms" that you mentioned in your video
after I've cleansed and leave it dry for about an hour, my skin feels a little tight but my nose and the skin above my lips is especially dry, but I think it's because it's winter. When I apply moisturizer, and when it comes to the end of the day it feels oily. I'm really confused about my skintype:(
Thanks for the information!! Definitely very helpful!! I didn’t know the way you find out your skin type was after washing!! I always assumed I had combo skin because my skin looked shiny at the end of my work shift!! I did notice my skin always felt dry after washing it!! But just assumed I needed to put moisturizer on my face and that would help!!
Awesome! Just realized that i used to be normal skin but with age (turning 40), i’m def dry skin now! Now if only i could have help to find the best skin care products... i’ll keep watching! What’s your opinion on Honest Beauty skin care products?
I’m 41 and I say try any product you find interest in. Our skincare can be so personal, it’s a lot of trial and error. Figure out if you like fragrance or not, what textures you like, what actually gives you results (not just everyone else), etc. I haven’t tried Honest Beauty, but I personally feel it is overpriced for the basic ingredients that can be found in any drugstore skincare product. My holy grail moisturizer is the Neutrogena HydroBoost Gel Cream Fragrance Free for Dry/Extra Dry Skin.
Me: Dehydrated, acne prone, combination skin Things that helped: Milder cleansing products, mild exfoliation, niacinamide, tamanu oil, retinoid, and quite ironically a slightly thicker moisturizer than I thought I'd need.
Could I add something about both dry and normal skin? Usually the pores appear invisible, you can't see them! The more poreless you look, the more perfect your skin looks!
Hi Susan, thanks for the video. Very informative! Will the climate and weather affect our skin type? Like if the weather is humid, will it make our face more oily that makes us then assume our skin is oily?
So if I understand this right (3:58) I could have dehydrated skin? I think am a typical combo skin with dry cheeks and super oily t-zone. Every day as the day goes by I always need to wipe my t-zone with paper, it looks and feels like I drenched it in oil! Its even worse if I have makeup on. But after a shower I have to put moisturiser on pretty quickly or else I get really dry and tight all over face and body. Now I am confused.
I’d guess it’s acne prone dry skin. Acne can be caused by other factors (like hormones), not only excess oil. I’d look for rich moisturizers and some treatment for the acne, like adapalene or benzoyl peroxide. The tricky part is that these actives can dry out the skin even more, so I’m not absolutely sure haha
great video thank you ! I have one question in regards to determining your skin type after cleansing your skin ( what if you have oily skin but you are using a drying striping cleanser, your skin will feel tight and dry ) but in reality you are oily not dry . sorry i hope I'm making sense
Makes sense! The first time you use a cleanser, it shouldn’t make a huge difference in your skin type. If you’ve been using a cleanser that strips your skin for a while, then it could mess it up, but the question then is, why are you using a cleanser that strips? 😜
For me: Teen-Early 20's: Combination + Acne-Prone Skin Late 20's-Early 30's: Combination (a bit more dryer) +Sensitive. I'm thankful not to suffer from fungal acne anymore. Now in the process of reducing the appearance of my acne scars
I seem to have pretty normal skin (but gets oily throughout the day as I live in a humid country) but the area around my nose and mouth are really really dry. How would you tackle this in terms of skincare?
Oily, sensitive and acne skin 🤷🏻♀️ I have been learning so much and seen results 🥰 but still afraid of exfoliating because of my super sensitive skin...
I've operated my entire life thinking I had oily skin. Now I'm realizing it's dry (but acne-prone) skin because if I don't get some hydrator on my face after washing it, my skin is so tight and dull.
Is it possible to have dry skin and be acne prone? I've struggled with acne since I was a teen but my skin has definitely been on the dry end since entering my 20s. I always hear acne is mainly caused by excess sebum but I rarely hear dry, acne prone skin as a possibility
I’m by no means a skin care expert, but I think you can. I always had acne prone skin and so I used products for oily skin. Then I went to an aesthetician who told me I had normal, but very dehydrated skin. This meant the skin compensated for the lack of moisture by creating more sebum, causing acne. After that I switched to more hydrating products meant for normal or dry skin, and it really improved. Again, I’m not an expert but that’s my experiance:
Hey Susan! Great Video😊 But I have a question. If I wash my face with water and wait for half an hour it isnt oily but more like normal. But after a few hours it gets very oily on my cheecks, nose, chin and forehead. So what is my skintype now? Normal or oily
I’d guess it’s between normal to oily or a little oily. It’s hard to find an exact type cause each person has a different level of oilyness and dryness hahah I’d look for light textured moisturizers and see if it’s enough for your skin
I saw another video that said combo skin is oily t zone and normal cheeks and jawline. This one says oily t zone and dry cheeks and jawline. Do both of those yield combo skin?
I've started to look after my skin properly only since lockdown, having been so positively influenced by people like Hyram, James, Michelle and yourself. I'm 39yo with acneic, super oily skin. And strangely enough since I've been using niacinamide which all skincare influencers love so much, I've developed a severe dehydration and irritation on my skin. To the point I was prescribed a topical antibiotic for a perioral dermatitis. I've been using only non-DA and non fragranced products (mainly from Facetheory or the Ordinary), appropriate corde my skin type, and long story short - the only pattern I can see for why I've developed that condition (which is now SOOO hard top fight!) is niacinamide! I have gone off of any cosmetics with that ingredient, and it's already slowly getting better! I was really surprised to learn that sth so highly recommended actually was not a great idea for my skin :(
Did you mix it with something else? I remember someone saying The Ordinary Niacinamide can't be used with some products because of the formulation, I think one of them was mixing it with a Vitamin C product
It’s rare, but there are a group of ppl who really cannot handle Niacinamide. It’s like an allergen for them, so they can’t use it or can only use a lil bit. I’m in thst category. My sunscreen has Niacinamide but if I use a high concentration of multiple products that contain it, then I start to burn and itch. No bueno.
My skin is like normal, its senditive, I do have sometimes pimples and I have blackheads on my nose but when you look at the zones it doesnt look shiny so what?
So I literally just touched my skin and all across my forehead is dry my cheeks are kinda slick along with my nose and chin but it’s weird Bc usually my cheeks and forehead are dry and my nose is just oily . Any idea what kind of skin I have?
I had this around a week ago and what I did was I used a very little amount of paw paw ointment on these areas if it was really bad and I would put a light oil on the patches when ever it was really flacky or itchy. At night I also tried to focus on rubbing a bit more of my moisturiser around that area. This is what I did and by no means does that mean nthat you should do what I did or anything.
My skin is still oily, but not as acne prone as it once was. I'm 58, and I really thought it would dry out more. Nope! I have a good routine now, and it's under control now.
Hi Susan! Please, remember your spanish friends to add spanish sub in your videos to try at leas to understaing you better. I'm doing my best to understaing the video in english. Thanks!
I had this very same question, so I decided to see if anyone had asked it before I posted. I think of myself as having oily skin, but 30 minutes isn't enough time for me to produce enough oil to have visible sheen. Usually I'm shiny by midday and literally oily to the touch by the end of the day. 30 minutes might be enough time to tell you have dry skin, but it's not enough to know you have oily skin in my experience.

Great I have combo skin, can be sensitive, and is acne-prone, has turned dry!!
Good video! Can you do one about combination skin? I never used different type of skincare for different part of my face. It’s confusing 🥺
Oily, acne-prone, dehydrated and reactive...AMAZING✨🙄
I think I have every type of skin at different times 😳
I like your nail polish @susanyara 😍
This really helped me! Straight to the point and very colorful, fun, and organized!
Normal skin, acne prone here!
AYEEEE me too especially on my nose
Yay! I love when you post.

Honest Beauty is Great you gotta give it a try
I’m 41 and I say try any product you find interest in. Our skincare can be so personal, it’s a lot of trial and error.

I just love Susan ❤️
Yay, thank you Susan! 💕

Hi Susan, thanks for the video. Very informative! Will the climate and weather affect our skin type? Like if the weather is humid, will it make our face more oily that makes us then assume our skin is oily?
Yes, but I would think of it as your skin type in your climate. That matters for your day-to-day products.
So if I understand this right (3:58) I could have dehydrated skin?
I think am a typical combo skin with dry cheeks and super oily t-zone. Every day as the day goes by I always need to wipe my t-zone with paper, it looks and feels like I drenched it in oil! Its even worse if I have makeup on.
But after a shower I have to put moisturiser on pretty quickly or else I get really dry and tight all over face and body.
Now I am confused.
What if you have blackheads and acne prone skin in the chin and jaw but skin is dry and tight
I'm the same!!! So confusing...
I’d guess it’s acne prone dry skin. Acne can be caused by other factors (like hormones), not only excess oil. I’d look for rich moisturizers and some treatment for the acne, like adapalene or benzoyl peroxide. The tricky part is that these actives can dry out the skin even more, so I’m not absolutely sure haha
Just got some of your vitamin C so excited
Enjoy!! 😍

I seem to have pretty normal skin (but gets oily throughout the day as I live in a humid country) but the area around my nose and mouth are really really dry. How would you tackle this in terms of skincare?
Sounds like you could have combination skin based on what you just described.
You could use an extra cream in the dry areas
Maybe switch your cleanser to a more gentle one and/or use a richer cream around the dry areas
Oily, sensitive, acne prone
Hi Susan, I like your videos!
Can you please let me know what product you have on your lips 👄in this video? Really like the light pink color....
I have a normal skin type and I dont like the way any matte foundation sits on top of my skin. There will be dry patches when I use one
Use bb cream first
