Your skin routine type
The Congestion Controller
Your routine should target oil and texture without wrecking your barrier.
You look like a good fit for a simple acne-conscious routine: gentle cleanse, lightweight hydration, consistent SPF, and one targeted active introduced carefully.
Why this is you
- You selected breakouts, clogged pores, shine, or texture as a major concern.
- Your answers suggest you need control, but not a harsh stripping routine.
- The highest-risk mistake is piling on too many actives at once.
Your first week
- Use a low-irritation cleanser and non-comedogenic moisturiser.
- Introduce salicylic acid two to three nights per week.
- Use SPF every morning so marks do not linger longer than they need to.
