I was listening to one of Paula Begoun's radio talk shows where she spoke to the renowned dermatologist, Dr. Leslie Baumann about her NY Times best selling book, Skin Type Solutions as well as her website by the same name. Dr. Baumann spent 7 years developing a quiz that could accurately determine your skin type. Dr. Baumann discovered that woman fall into 1 out of 16 skin types. Dermatologist around the world are now using her skin type quiz on their patients to determine their skin type which would subsequently allow them to prescribe or recommend the right skin care products. Dr. Baumann made her quiz available through a website (see link below) where after taking the quiz, you will be routed to a page dedicated to your skin type. You will receive weekly information and tips related to your skin type as well as having access to look up product recommendations and blog with people with your same skin type and trade war stories.

If I haven't spoken to you about Paula Begoun in the past (I highly doubt that) she is the author of, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Store Without Me.  Paula has also developed her own Skin Care Products (which I use religiously), Paula's Choice. FYI, Dr. Baumann is a big fan of her products which are ALL fragrance free and affordable. Fragrance Free products are a must for those of you that have sensitive skin or skin issues such as eczema or rosacea. Here is her website that you might want to visit AFTER you have taken the Skin Type Quiz: http://www.cosmeticscop.com/

Visit the Skin Type Solutions website to take the Quiz: http://www.skintypesolutions.com/home

Note:  It is recommended that you wash your face and put NOTHING on your face and then look at your face in the mirror 1 hour after you've washed it to see if you are shiny anywhere. Take note of how your skin feels as well, do you feel tightness and if so, where.? This will help you answer some of the questions on the quiz.
