3 Skin Types, What is Your Skin Type?

Diet for your unique skin type

Know Your Skin Type.

Self-care, includes skin care, and you can’t care for your skin if you don’t know your skin type.

“When it comes to skin and the surface of skin, people may think they need to treat it with topical ointments,” says Lisa Moskovitz, RD, CDN, the CEO of New York Nutrition Group and partner with Seeds of Change. “A lot of what we see on the outside is a product of what’s going on inside. Food is a part of that.”

Michele Green, MD, a New York-based cosmetic dermatologist, agrees.

“Diet primarily impacts the levels of varying hormones in the body, and hormones regulate many of the natural processes that occur within the body,” Green says. “This means the overall health and appearance of the skin are, inevitably, closely related to hormone fluctuations that are influenced by diet.”

Green says loading up on certain foods and eliminating others can help improve your skin.

That said, the best foods for you will depend on your skin type. This strategy is similar to how you might choose a different moisturizer than your friend with another skin type.

How to diagnose your skin type

Before you start filling your grocery cart, you’ll need to figure out what skin type you have.

Green suggests starting by not using any products after cleaning your skin and taking note of how it looks after several hours. There are a few clues that can help you determine what type you have.

In general, the main skin types are:

  • dry
  • normal
  • oily
  • combination

Within these skin types, there can be other issues, like acne, flaking, or dullness.

According to Green, if your skin looks:

  • shiny, you have oily skin
  • flaky, red, or irritated, you have dry skin
  • oily in some areas and dry in others, you have combination skin
