Adore Beauty
About this episode

Welcome to Skincare School the podcast, your ultimate skincare study guide. Join Adore Beauty’s Senior Editor Amy Clark and Dr. Michelle Wong from Lab Muffin Beauty Science as they take things right back to basics to make skin care simple and F-U-N!

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked…

Skin Types 101:

What is my skin type? Michelle breaks down what a skin type actually is, the difference between normal, dry, combination, oily and sensitive skin, and how to know which skin type you have.

Plus, we bust some common myths in our Pop Quiz around why it’s important to know your skin type and why there's no point spending money on expensive skincare products until you do. And speaking of products, Amy takes us through the Best In Class product recommendation for each skin type.
