    Home »GROOMING ADVICE»Skin Care Advice» Determine Your Skin Type
     
     
    Most men’s skin types can be grouped into common categories. There are no precise definitions or tests but by using the following guidelines, you should be able to better select the best products for your skin type.

    Your skin type can easily change over time or with the season so reevaluate your skin if you ever find it changing. Your skin type is mostly affected by genetics, the skin products you use (some products can cause your skin to become oily or dry), or environmental factors such as wind, sun, smoke and temperatures. Surprisingly, age doesn’t play a major role in determining your skin type. Some older men can have acne while younger men can have overly-dry skin.

    SKIN TYPE CHARACTERISTICS TIPS
    Normal Skin
    • Usually smooth, healthy complexion
    • Few or no blemishes
    • Small or unnoticeable pores
    Enjoy your normal skin. Use mild cleansers and lightweight moisturizers with sunscreens. Avoid products that overly dry your skin or cause oiliness.
    Dry Skin
    • Irritates easily and prone to rashes
    • May have some redness or blotchiness
    • Small pores
    • Sun, cold, and/or wind may make it worse
    Use a creamy or milky cleansing lotion. Limit cleansing to twice a day. Avoid products with alcohol. Keep hot showers short. Dry skin product recommendations
    Oily Skin/Acne Prone
    • Shiny skin especially on the forehead, nose or chin
    • Prone to pimples, blackheads, and blemishes
    • Medium to large pores
    Try a cleanser with AHA's, twice a day. Use oil-free moisturizers. Try a weekly mask. Don't over-dry skin. Try special acne treatment products if you often get acne. Oily skin product recommendations
    Sensitive Skin
    • Irritates easily and prone to rashes
    • May have some redness or blotchiness
    • Small pores
    • Sun, cold, and/or wind may make it worse
    Don't use any products that cause redness. Use creamy or milky cleanser lotion. Keep hot showers short. Sensitive skin product recommendations
    Mature Skin
    • Brown, age spots
    • Fine lines around the eyes
    • Dull looking, dry & patchy
    Use scrub a couple times a week. Try specific eye area products. Use special serums and lotions designed to treat aging skin. Always apply a daily moisturizer with sunscreen. Mature skin product recommendations
    Combination Skin
    • Combines normal skin with dry or oily patches
    • Small or unnoticeable pores
    • Occasional blemishes or flakiness
    Many men have combination skin. Use products for normal skin. If needed, try specific products for oily or dry areas.
