    Did you mean Skin Type?
    Glossary Skin Type

    Skin type refers to the classification of skin based on its characteristics, such as oiliness, dryness, sensitivity, and the presence of conditions like acne or rosacea. It is relevant to hair loss as the health of the scalp, which is influenced by skin type, can affect hair growth and retention. For instance, oily skin may lead to clogged hair follicles, while dry skin can result in flakiness and irritation, both of which can contribute to hair loss. Key distinguishing characteristics include the balance of sebum production, moisture levels, and the skin's reaction to environmental factors.
