To start the thread off I'll include some general information about skincare and skin types, and then later get into even more basics (skincare products, routines, etc).
Skincare is for everyone, and although the topic is commonly paired with makeup and the use of cosmetics, it's necessary for everyone to understand how to take care of their skin - but they don't make it easy to figure out!

Great thread idea WWWP. I am very interested in working on skincare as mine is non existent.

Here I will summarize my findings.

I am really grateful that you mentioned a dermatologist as if I can access one in the future I will create a list of questions to have them answer for me. I am looking forward to seeing your research.
I'm 34 and I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which means my skin stays rejuvenated and youthful so I tend to look ten years younger. And before anyone says anything I'm not boasting as I'd rather not be in 24/7 chronic pain and injuring myself all the time.

Using your tests I believe I'm combination (with a hint of sensitive as well)
Due to years of battling mental health I will say that I haven't done my skin any favours. I use exfoliating face wash with a face cloth and then a sunscreen based moisturising cream to finish. On the weekends I do black charcoal masks but I think they are out of fashion now.
Great topic, I look forward to seeing more.
