1. Oily: Your skin looks shiny by the lunch time, has mild to moderate breakouts and makeup seems to slide right off your face.

2. Combination: Your skin can be oily in the t-zone, by might also be dry everywhere else. This skin type has sporadic breakouts, usually triggered by stress or hormones.

3. Normal : Normal skin types will usually feel have a fresh and clean feeling to their skin throughout the day. Breakouts are very minimal and are usually caused by hormones.
