A personalized skin care routine is the most reliable way to get skin that glows and has a smooth surface and even tone. To get healthy skin, you need a customized skin care routine that addresses any issues dulling your skin. Finding your skin type and learning about different products is the first step to creating the best personalized skin care routine.

What Is a Personalized Skin Care Routine?

All skin care regimens consist of treatment, protection, cleansing and moisturizing. The way these elements combine in your own routine depends on:

• Your skin type.
• Your lifestyle habits.
• Your preferences.
• Your values or ethical considerations.
• Your budget.
• Your daily routine.
• Your skin color.
• Your age.

Your regimen should become part of your everyday life so that you can reap the full benefits of the products you’re using.

Basic Skin Care Routine Steps

While your personalized routine may have multiple steps, almost all regimens involve three steps, repeated morning and night:

1. Cleanse
2. Protect
3. Repair

Depending on your Baumann Skin Type, you may need more than one product to handle each step. You can learn more about how to layer skin care products for the best results.

What’s the Benefit of a Personalized Skin Care Routine?

You can follow a routine you find in a magazine or use your friend's recommended products, but customization will provide the best results. This is because:

• Some products can irritate your skin.
• You need a routine that fits your lifestyle and budget.
• Your skin has unique needs and challenges, and creating your own skin routine helps you work with them.

Why Take the Skin Type Test?

STS-approved dermatologists and medical providers use the scientifically-proven Skin Type Solutions Skin Type Test to give their patients personalized skin care routines. Our skin type test uses the innovative Baumann Skin Typing System developed by Dr. Leslie Baumann, which is the only skin typing system that doctors and referenced in medical textbooks use. It is the gold standard in determining which of the 16 Baumann Skin Types you have and whether you may have any underlying skin problems.

Where Can I Take the Baumann Skin Type Test?

The simplest way to scientifically determine your skin type is to take the skin type test here or schedule an online consult. You can also visit an STS-approved doctor if there is one in your area.

What Happens After I Take The Skin Type Test?

If you take our online test, you will learn your Baumann Skin Type and instantly get recommendations for skin care regimens and products that fit your needs and budget.

If you like, you can also purchase some products online, buy a whole regimen or get monthly skin care kits so you can stay stocked with your favorites. We make it easy to care for your skin.

Does the Skin Care Routine Order Matter?

Yes! Your skin has a circadian rhythm — the genes protecting your skin activate in the morning, and the genes to repair skin activate at night. Your morning and evening skincare routine should help your skin protect itself in the morning and repair itself at night.

Do I Have to Use My Skin Care Routine Products Every Day?

To see consistent results, you need to practice your routine every morning and night. Just as you need to care for your body daily with oxygen, water and food, your skin has needs of its own.

A consistent routine helps you see results. Your skin will completely renew in 50-72 days, so if you care for it, you’ll see amazing results in just a few months!
