The Sun Worshipper Skin Type
“I love the sun, & the sun loves me. I always feel better with a tan. I think it helps my acne. I just don’t see why there’s such a fuss about avoiding the sun. Are we all supposed to walk around like a pale ghost?”

Oily, Resistant, Pigmented, & Wrinkled: ORPW The Teflon Skin Type“Will very decade bring some new skin problem?

But nothing seems to work.”
Oily, Resistant, Pigmented, & Tight: ORPT The Glowing Skin Type“I have some skin problems, but nothing that hard to handle. Except for some dark spots and a little acne, I’m pretty happy with my skin. Is there something else I should be doing to go from good skin to great skin?”
Oily, Resistant, Non-pigmented, & Wrinkled: ORNW The Complacent Skin Type“What’s the big fuss over skin care? Seems like a waste of time. My skin is just like everyone else’s. I don’t pay that much attention to it really. Only thing is I’m noticing some wrinkles lately.”
Oily, Resistant, Non-Pigmented, & Tight: ORNT The Goddess Skin Type“I always get compliments on my skin, though honestly, I don’t take credit for it. I don’t do anything special, so it must be genetic. All the women in my family have beautiful skin. I guess I’m just lucky.”
Dry, Sensitive, Pigmented & Wrinkled: DSPW The Desperate Skin Type“I have to be careful what I put on my face. My skin reacts to everything. Finding skin care products is like searching for the Holy Grail. How do I get rid of these spots and wrinkles?”

Dry, Sensitive, Non-Pigmented, & Wrinkled: DSNW The Reactive Skin Type
” My skin is so changeable, I never know how I’ll look from day to day. Some days it looks fine while at other times, it reacts to just about everything. Is there any logic to managing reactive skin?”
Dry, Sensitive, Non-pigmented, & Tight: DSNT The Parched Skin Type“My skin is so dry, you’d think i was in a desert. My eyelids are flaking, my lips are cracked, and whatever skin cream i use burns, it makes my skin even worse.”
Dry, Resistant, Pigmented & Wrinkled: DRPWThe Neglected Skin Type
“I never paid much attention to my skin because I never had any problems. I never bothered with skin care products because I didn’t need to. Now that I’m seeing wrinkles and spots forming, I guess it’s too late.”
Dry, Resistant, Pigmented & Tight: DRPT The Global Skin Type“Beauty is a state of mind. But attitude alone is not enough. I like to take care of myself, so of course, I take care of my skin. Why not make the best of what Mother Nature gave you?
Dry, Resistant, Non-pigmented & Wrinkled: DRNW The Majority Skin Type“I’ve always had good skin but overnight it’s become very dry. Whenever I look in the mirror, I notice new wrinkles. How can I look as young as I feel?”
Dry, Resistant, Non-pigmented, & Tight: DRNT The Easygoing Skin Type“Why spend a lot of time hassling about skin type? Life is just too short. I think beauty comes from inside anyway, I just do what’s easiest and devote my energy to other things.”
