Skin Bliss

which serum are you? pick your sunday and follow its line.

farmers market at 8am: vitamin c, the morning person. light and air make it turn, so it likes a dark bottle and a sunscreen chaser.
brunch with everyone: niacinamide, the easy friend. gets on with most skin types and may help keep shine in check.
bath, face mask, early night: hyaluronic acid, the homebody. holds on to water and helps skin feel soft.
finishing a project on a sunday: retinal, the overachiever. works the night shift, results take weeks to months, start slow.

tell us which line you landed on.

that's your serum personality. your skin might disagree. the free skin quiz reads six skin dimensions in about 2 minutes: skinbliss.app/quiz

three cult moisturizers. Did you guess who each one is for, and who it works against?

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream matched dry skin (80) and eczema-prone skin (90), and the analysis flags it as working against oily skin. ILLIYOON Ceramide Ato Cream matched dry skin (80) and sensitive skin (70), and works against acne-prone skin. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is the surprise: dry skin 50, and flagged against eczema-prone skin.

Managing eczema? Check new products with your dermatologist.

you came home from paris with half a pharmacy. which bits are actually for oily skin?

the menu, ranked by fit for oily skin in the Skin Bliss analysis:
1. Bioderma Sensibio H2O, 90: micellar water that helps lift the day off without scrubbing. a keeper.
2. La Roche-Posay UVMune 400 SPF50+, 60: a light, fast-drying fluid. keep it, the one you'll wear beats the one you won't.
3. Avène Hyaluron Activ B3 Multi-Intensive Night Cream, 50: retinal plus shea butter and squalane, a rich feel that may be heavy for oily skin. maybe.
4. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Sensitive, 40: gentle and made for drier, sensitive skin. the analysis flags one ingredient for breakouts, though La Roche-Posay tests the full formula as non-comedogenic. give it to a dry-skinned friend.

different skin, different menu. scan yours before the next haul: skinbliss.app/download

pregnant or breastfeeding? check retinal products with your doctor first.

Pick what a new serum does to your face and follow its line. Which one did you land on?

Stinging with most new products, stinging on some days, or nothing at all, even with shower gel: each one says something about how sensitive your skin is. The two questions on the way are straight from the Skin Bliss skin quiz.

One reaction is only a guess. The free skin quiz asks up to four questions for sensitivity alone, then reads oil balance, elasticity, acne, tone and texture too. About 2 minutes: skinbliss.app/quiz

Trying something new on sensitive skin? Patch test on your inner arm first.

be honest. which one's been open on your shelf the longest?

1. vitamin c gone yellow, orange or brown has oxidized, like a sliced apple. time to let it go.
2. sunscreen: find the tiny open-jar symbol. 6M means 6 months after opening. after that, it may not protect as well as the label says.
3. cream that smells different, changes colour or separates? bin it. a clean spatula helps keep the next one fresh.

tell us your number, we won't tell anyone.

when did you open it? add the opening date in the Skin Bliss app and it counts down to the expiry date and reminds you before it runs out. get the app: skinbliss.app/download

three cult serums, three very different skins. Did you guess who each one is for?

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc matched oily skin best (90). Numbuzin No.5 Serum matched dry skin (90) and dark spots (99). COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Essence matched normal skin (95) and redness (95).

your skin read your texts. it has notes.

1. shiny, but thirsty: skin can make plenty of oil and still be short on water.
2. no breakouts, still dry: dry skin makes less oil, so it breaks out less, and it shows fine lines sooner.
3. less is more for breakouts: some spots come from your own products. fewer, gentler, a few weeks.
4. sensitive, or sensitized? sensitized skin got that way, usually from too much exfoliating, and it settles.
5. skin types change: age, hormones, medication and climate all shift it.
6. a tingle is fine. stinging that lasts is irritation.

which one have you texted your skin? be honest.

Pick the one that sounds like your face at 11am and follow its line. Which type did you land on?

Shiny before your coffee's done, a shiny nose with tight cheeks, nothing much at all, or tight after plain water: each one says something about your oil balance. The two questions on the way are straight from the Skin Bliss skin quiz.

One morning is only a guess. The free skin quiz asks up to five questions for oil balance alone, then reads sensitivity, elasticity, acne, tone and texture too. About 2 minutes: skinbliss.app/quiz
