Happy Monday everyone! In the run up to Amazon Prime Day (Tuesday 12th & Wednesday 13th of July), we thought we could have a bit of fun with a skincare quiz! Let’s find out what your skincare routine says about you in six questions… Our questions and answers are all lighthearted, but in fact there is some psychology behind about what your skincare routine says about your personality… So, let’s get into it, here are our questions (remember to keep track of your answers!)
What Your Skincare Routine Says About You…

How many steps are in your skincare routine?
A. More than 5, but less than 10! (unless I’m double cleansing)

Question 4:
How much does brand name mean to you?

Skincare Routine Quiz Answers
Mostly A’s – The Connoisseur Â
If you got mostly A’s you are in fact a skincare conniseur! To you, skincare is no joke, you take what you put on that gorgeous skin of yours seriously and so you should! You know your toners from your exfoliants, moisturisers from your day creams, vitamin C from vitamin E – the list goes on! You love trying new products, expanding your routine and glowing all year long! Â
Mostly B’s – The Trend SeekerÂ
If you got mostly B’s you know and care enough about your skin care routine to follow it every day and are open to the idea of new products… you trend seeker! You know enough to not cross over certain ingredients, but your skin changes quickly and you have adapted to this! With various cleansers, toners and moisturisers in your drawer, you have so many pots to choose from when you’re faced with various problems! Â
Mostly C’s – The Pragmatist Â
If you got mostly C’s it is clear to see that you are a pragmatist! You have a well established skin-care routine that you rarely expand, and when you do it’s only when necessary. The routine is so routine that you think you’ve struck gold when your fav products are on offer – time to stockpile! You also never have to worry about reacting badly to a new product, and your routine and products are so well established that you rarely come up against any pesky skin challenges – yay!  Â
Mostly D’s – The Minimalist Â
If you got mostly D’s you are the minimalist! Your skincare routine is hardly a routine, but it is routine for you and it works. With no complicated products or steps, you’re also probably fortunate enough to have unproblematic skin all year round. The price is low, but the reward is high for you with your simplistic routine, no fuss!
