We’ve all heard that the makeup and moisturizer we chose should be based on the type of skin we have. The acne treatment we use, the makeup foundation and the application of makeup is all based on type of skin and whether it is consistent all over the face.

There are several different types of skin that range from oily to dry to combination skin. Determining which skin type you have will help you purchase skin cleansers that work best, make up that stays on all day and moisturizer that won’t cause breakouts.

To get a good handle on your skin type answer these questions.

• Is your skin oily throughout the day? Yes (3) Sometimes (2) No (1)
• During the day does your face feel tight? Yes (1), Sometimes (2), No (3)
• Is your skin shiny during the day? Yes (3), Sometimes (2), No (1)

If your score is 7-10 your skin is oily; 4-6 and its combination skin and below its dry.
