The Skin Read · 한국어

16 skin patterns

Skin types say oily, dry or combination. Patterns say why, and what to do about it.

The Skin Read sorts skin into 16 patterns, built from how skin behaves: redness, stinging, oil, water, lipids, pigment and renewal. Each pattern page explains what usually helps, what to pause, and when to see a doctor.

The Flushing PatternRedness driven by blood vessels, not by dryness.
The Perioral PatternSmall bumps around the mouth that behave differently from acne.
The Itch and Rash PatternItch you can see usually needs a name before it needs a product.
The Compromised BarrierSkin that has been made sensitive, not born that way.

Flaky and Oily at OnceGreasy flakes around the nose and brows are a pattern, not dry skin.
Oily and ReactiveOily skin that stings is usually stripped skin making more oil.
Oily and CongestedOil, blackheads and breakouts, on skin that tolerates active care.

Oily but DehydratedShiny and tight at the same time.
DehydratedShort of water, not of oil.
Dry and DepletedShort of water, and of the oil that keeps it in.
Lacking OilThe water is there. The oil that keeps it in is not.

Marks and Uneven ToneSkin that holds on to colour. Protection does most of the work.
Sun ReactiveSkin that reddens fast in the sun and tans easily.

Fine Lines and TextureCalm skin, ready for gentle renewal.
Loss of FirmnessSkin that needs support, not just smoothing.

SettledNothing is pulling hard in one direction.
