How was the Skin Type Quiz Validated?
What is Skin Type Solutions
The Baumann Skin Types system is a skin-type classification system defining 16 skin personalities. This classification system was developed to subdivide research participants into specific phenotypes. Patients were assigned binary values to four characteristics, so defining sixteen "skin personalities", or "skin types". These have been used in genetic research aimed at identifying the genes that contribute to skin characteristics such as dryness, oiliness, aging, pigmentation and sensitivity. The classification system has been adopted by aestheticians, dermatologists, consumers and retailers to match cosmeceutical ingredients and skin care products to specific skin types. The type assigned is determined by a self-completed questionnaire, marketed as the "Baumann Skin Type Indicator" or the “Skin Type Solutions Quiz”.
