Skin Type
My skin is pretty much normal (neither dry nor too oily). I used to have cystic acne, but now it rarely flares up.
No large pores. Textured skin from acne scars.
I have a light/medium to tan complexion with a warm neutral yellow/olive undertone.
I tan easily and rarely get sunburned. I’d say I’m between a Fitzpatrick type 3 and 4.
