By Brooke Sager

Clean, healthy-looking skin is “always” the goal—but everyone has a unique skin type that has its own unique needs and comes with its own set of challenges. That’s why skincare routines are not one size fits all. Trying to figure out your skincare routine can be difficult. In order to feel confident in your skin, it’s really e.l.f.ing important to use the right skincare products to help you achieve your goals.

Creating a skincare routine for yourself can be daunting—and that’s why we’ve taken the guesswork out of it for you, with e.l.f.’s Skin Care Routine Finder ! Our quick and easy skincare quiz on our website and only takes a few minutes (it’s also totally free)—just tell us about your skin goals and we’ll curate a personalized skincare regimen and recommend the perfect products just for you (and your skin).

Read on to find out how our skincare routine builder works!

What is the Skincare Routine Quiz?

When you take our fun and easy skincare routine quiz (it’s only a few questions), we build you a personalized skincare routine that’s customized to your skin type and concerns, all based on your responses. Once you get your results (which takes less than a minute!), we make it easy as e.l.f. for you to shop all the amazing skincare product reccos.

And since we know skincare can be overwhelming or uncharted territory for some, the quiz also educates you on what e.l.f. skincare products are best for your skin, as well as what order to use them in for a step-by-step regimen that both you and your skin will love.

How to Use e.l.f.'s Skincare Quiz

Our user-friendly skincare quiz will help you discover your new personalized skincare regimen in just minutes!

Submit your name, then simply answer a few questions about your skin type, skin concerns and what kinds of products you’re looking to stock your bathroom shelf with. The quiz will also ask what your current skincare regimen looks like, as well as your birthday (this will help us find the best skincare for your age range).

We’ll use your answers to curate a one-of-a-kind skincare routine, just for you.

Step 1: Answer a Few Questions About Your Skin

We want to get to know you (and your skin) a little better. By answering the skin quiz’s prompted questions, you’ll allow us to customize your perfect routine and choose the best products to help you meet your skincare goals.

To start, input your name, then tell us what you’re looking for product wise—do you just want a new moisturizer, a go-to SPF, or are you looking for a full regimen?

Next, you’ll select your skin type (normal, oily, dry or combination). We also want to know what your skincare concerns are; you’ll be able to select your main skin concerns and goals from a list including acne, sensitive skin, sun protection, preventing signs of aging and more.

We also ask how many products you currently use in your current skincare routine, which helps us learn if you’re a skincare junkie who loves to use *all* the product, or if you prefer a streamlined routine with fewer steps. If you don’t currently have a routine, no judgment here—we will help build a skincare routine for you that's optimal for a newbie!

Step 2: Get Your Personalized Skincare Results

We know you’re excited to dive face first into your new e.l.f. skincare routine, so here’s the good news: after you take the short quiz, you’ll get your results and personalized skincare regimen, complete with product recommendations, in less than a minute!

While we curate your individualized skincare routine, you’ll also have the chance to input your email address—this lets you shop and save all your personal product reccos, as well as gain access to exclusive e.l.f. offers.

Step 3: Shop Your Product Recommendations

After you submit your answers, it’s time for the fun part: you’ll get to view your curated skincare routine on the spot and easily shop all your product recommendations! Add them all to your cart, or just snag a few that you can’t wait to try.

If you want to narrow down your skincare search to a few specific skincare must-haves, or expand what you’re looking for to include a wider selection of products, you can retake the quiz as many times as you’d like.
