My skin type and routine
Six questions, a three-step routine, the right sunscreen amount.
How this is worked out, and its limits
Type is decided by the count of oily, dry and normal answers; two or more sensitivity answers add "sensitive". The routine follows the American Academy of Dermatology: cleanser, moisturiser and daily SPF 30+ for every type. Sunscreen is tested at 2 mg per cm²; most people apply a quarter to half of that.
