What's Your Skin Type, Really?: how it works
Ten questions about how your skin feels and behaves through the day. Get your skin type, a radar of your mix, your safe-skincare score and a simple routine. It is part of the free skin & beauty tools on Natural Knows, and it runs in your browser: no sign-up, and your answers stay on your device.
Each play draws 12 questions from a bank of 38, and the answers are shuffled, so the tool feels new when you come back. Every answer adds points to one or more results; the one with the most points is yours, and the chart shows the full mix.
The results explained
Your answers point to skin that runs short on oil: tight after washing, flaky in winter, happy with balms and oils. Gentle cleansing and sealing in moisture are your two big wins.
Your answers point to skin that makes plenty of oil, with shine through the day and larger-looking pores. Light textures and gentle, consistent cleansing work better than harsh drying products.
Your answers point to combination skin: oily through the forehead, nose and chin, normal or dry on the cheeks. Treat the zones a little differently and keep the routine simple.
Your answers point to skin that reacts easily: redness, stinging or itching after new products. Fewer ingredients, fewer changes and patch testing everything are your rules.
Your answers point to balanced skin: rarely tight, rarely shiny, rarely upset. Your job is to keep it that way with a short routine and daily sun protection.
