ABOUT SKIN TYPES
SKIN TYPES
are factors inherent to your skin, inherited from your genes and modified by lifestyle and environmental factors.
4 MACROSCOPIC PROPERTIES
These macroscopic properties make up your skin type. Click on each to learn more about your skin.
Knowing your skin type will give you guidelines for what factors to use or avoid in caring for your skin.
YOUR SKIN TYPE CAN CHANGE
While skin type describes properties inherent to your skin, those properties can change over time, interactively with many factors including:
AGE
DIET
LIFESTYLE
ENVIRONMENT
Skinalytics is developing a tool to help you select optimal skin care at every stage and to avoid adverse skin reactions.
Take the skin assessment now and when you experience a change to better care for your skin.
THERE'S MORE TO YOUR SKIN
How your skin responds to skin care products (such as when a reaction or sensitivity develops) may depend on the bacteria, fungi, and viruses and their environment on your skin, also known as the skin microbiome.
Skinalytics wants to make skin care selection safer and easier and to truly personalize it by incorporating your skin properties, product reaction histories, and skin microbiome information in our skin care product selection algorithm.
