Yes, your skin type can absolutely change over time—and it’s more common than people think.
🌀 What Can Cause Skin Type to Change:
-
Age: As you get older, skin usually produces less oil, making it drier.
-
Hormones: Puberty, pregnancy, menstruation, or menopause can all shift skin oiliness or sensitivity.
-
Climate: Moving to a more humid or dry environment can change how oily or dry your skin feels.
-
Skincare Products: Overuse of harsh ingredients can dry out oily skin or sensitize it.
-
Diet & Hydration: Lack of water, poor nutrition, or excess sugar can impact skin balance.
-
Stress & Sleep: These can affect oil production, breakouts, and skin barrier health.
-
Medications: Some meds like acne treatments, birth control, or steroids can change your skin behavior.
🧭 What to Do:
-
Reassess your skin every few months or with major life changes.
-
Adjust your routine to match your skin’s current needs.

Don’t cling to one "type" forever—skin evolves!
