Question 01
Not all skin is the same — and not all korean skin care products work the same way for everyone. The Baumann Skin Type System is a science-backed classification developed by dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann that divides skin into 16 distinct types based on four measurable axes: oiliness, sensitivity, pigmentation, and aging tendency.
Unlike broad labels like "normal" or "combination," the Baumann system gives you a precise, four-letter skin type code. When you understand your type, choosing korean skin products becomes more straightforward — you know which ingredients to look for, which textures suit your skin, and which concerns to prioritise.
This 13-question test takes approximately 5 minutes. Answer based on how your skin behaves naturally, without products applied. Your result will identify your Baumann skin type and explain what it means for your skincare routine.

The Baumann Skin Type System was developed by Dr. Leslie Baumann, an American dermatologist and researcher. It classifies skin into 16 types based on four measurable axes — hydration, sensitivity, pigmentation, and elasticity — providing a more precise framework than traditional skin type categories.
The system has gained considerable attention in Korean beauty and skincare research, where understanding individual skin differences is central to product development. Studies involving Korean populations have consistently validated the Baumann framework as a reliable tool for matching skincare recommendations to individual skin profiles.
This test is a simplified version designed to give you a useful starting point. It will not capture every nuance of your skin — no brief test can. However, it provides a clear directional framework: the right ingredient types, suitable product textures, and the Korean skin care categories most relevant to your specific profile.
At handsome oppa!, product recommendations are developed with Baumann skin types in mind. Our goal is to help you find K-beauty products that are genuinely suited to your skin — not just trending.
