About Skin Type Solutions
Skin Type Solutions (STS) is a trusted dermatology-based system that helps you understand your skin and make informed skincare choices. Take the quick Skin Type Quiz and get personalized product recommendations tailored for your skin type.
Why Should I Use Skin Type Solutions?
Skin Type Solutions (STS) is a scientifically-backed skincare system designed to help you understand your skin like never before. By identifying your exact skin type, STS removes the guesswork from your daily routine and provides personalized product and routine recommendations curated by skincare experts. Trusted and developed by dermatologists and skincare professionals, STS combines expertise, innovation, and simplicity, making it a reliable choice for anyone who wants healthier, glowing skin.
Why Is the Skin Type Quiz So Important?
The quick 2–3 minute Skin Type Quiz is the heart of the STS system. It accurately identifies your skin type and guides you to select the right products for hydration, brightening, or oil control. By understanding your unique skin profile, the quiz ensures that your skincare routine is both safe and effective. This educational system empowers you with knowledge about your skin and helps you make informed decisions, rather than relying on trial and error.
How Was the Skin Type Quiz Validated?
STS was developed using rigorous dermatology research and expert input to ensure accuracy and reliability. The Skin Type Quiz has been tested with real users to confirm that recommendations are precise and effective. Backed by science, the system gives you confidence that every skincare decision—from product selection to daily routines—is personalized, safe, and proven to work.
Healthy, glowing skin begins with understanding its unique needs. At Icala Medical Aesthetics, Dr. Lilliam Díaz-Vélez and our team of aesthetics experts are the first and only providers in Puerto Rico to use the groundbreaking Skin Type Solutions™ diagnostic system to provide patients with truly personalized skincare guidance.
This science-based program, developed by dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann, helps uncover your skin’s true type and pairs it with proven medical-grade products designed to balance, renew, and protect your complexion.
How Skin Type Solutions Works
The Skin Type Solutions system starts with a brief, scientifically validated questionnaire that identifies 16 distinct skin types. The results reveal how your skin functions across four key categories:
- Hydration
- Sensitivity
- Pigmentation
- Aging
Based on your type, Dr. Díaz-Vélez recommends products and regimens tailored to your skin’s biology. This helps to eliminate guesswork and wasted products.
Each assessment takes only a few minutes yet offers remarkably precise insight into how your skin behaves day to day. The system also considers lifestyle factors, such as sun exposure, climate, and stress, that influence your skin’s condition over time.
Unlike traditional skincare consultations, this process relies on dermatological science rather than trial and error. It’s appropriate for all ages, genders, and ethnicities and provides a practical roadmap for achieving long-term results.
The Benefits of Knowing Your Skin Type
Understanding your true skin type can transform the way you care for your skin. It can tell you:
-
Which ingredients are beneficial or irritating for your skin
-
How to balance moisture, oil production, and skin barrier health simultaneously
-
What type of sunscreen your skin needs
-
Which cleansers, exfoliants, and moisturizers suit your skin best
-
Which active ingredients, for example, retinol or vitamin C, you can incorporate safely into your skincare routine
The outcome is a personalized routine that addresses the unique challenges your skin faces—whether that means dryness, sensitivity, hyperpigmentation, premature aging, or a combination of concerns.
