Discover your skin type and the must-have products for your skin.
If you struggle with shopping for skincare products, you’ve come to the right place! The key to developing a great skincare routine is being able to analyse your skin type first. What’s the point in spending a fortune on skincare products which are totally wrong for your skin?
That’s what we’re here for. We’ve created a quiz for you to figure out your skin type and which Origins products will help you to get the glowing skin you’ve always dreamed of. Origins is a brand we love here at Marco Benito. We’re all about their ethics, values and of course their incredible products!
Of course, the skincare products you use are very important. However, it’s useful to note that they cannot treat all of your skin concerns to the same extent as some cosmetic treatments.
For example, leave the wrinkles and creases to us here at Marco Benito with our amazing anti-wrinkle treatment which smoothes and brightens skin to perfection.
It’s quiz time!
Answer our 6 simple questions, add up your score and check the list at the end to discover which of the skin types best suits you and the Origins products that are best for your skin. If you have a mixture of answers then this means you are a mixture of skin types.
