Skin Type
My skin is pretty much normal (neither dry or too oily), acne-prone with a tendency of becoming dehydrated (loss of water, not sebum), but also a bit oilier and congested in the summer. No large pores. Textured skin from acne scars.
I have a light/medium to tan complexion with a warm neutral yellow undertone. I tan easily and rarely get sunburned.
