The five skin types, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), include oily, dry, combination, normal, and sensitive skin.2 These skin types are a categorization of how your skin usually looks and feels. For example, if you often experience skin concerns like excess shine, enlarged pores, and frequent breakouts, you probably have oily skin. On the other hand, if your skin feels oily in some areas (such as around your T-zone) but dry in others (like your cheeks), you might have combination skin. Each skin type has its own unique set of concerns and specific needs when it comes to maintaining healthy-looking skin. To learn more, head to our skin type guide.
