You know your skin type is important to choosing and customizing your skincare routine, but have you ever given any thought to how your personality might play into your beauty habits and concerns? Believe it or not, your personality has a bigger effect than just who you are or are not compatible with on Tinder.
How your Myers-Briggs personality affects your go-to skincare
When you really think about, our personalities affect how we behave and because of that, also have an influence on the habits we build in the various areas of our lifestyle. Including skincare. So, to shed some light on the matter, here is how your personality type affects your skincare and beauty habits and what products you might go searching for. Enjoy!
ISTJ (Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, Judging) - You're All About Practical Skincare
Don't think this means that you're a judgmental person when it comes to skincare—not in a bad way. When it comes to making decisions, you're very practical and logical. You're not one for impulse buys, you like to make sure the product will do its job before you committed to it long term. You like to keep your routine as simple as possible. Excess is definitely not practical, so double-duty products are great for you!
A fantastic double-duty product for you is Decorté Cream Blusher! Whenever you're in a pinch, this product can quickly be swept over the eyes and lips for a soft monochromatic look!
ISFJ (Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, Judging) - You're More of the Feel-Good Practicality Type
When you're looking for the next product you'll fall in love with you're reasonable, but in the end, you make sure it feels right. Even if all the right ingredients are there if your heart isn't screaming 'I love this!' you're not going to take the plunge. When it comes to skincare you want to have an instant feel-good experience while also reaping the benefits from the product long-term.
Looking for a nice refresher to that beauty cabinet? Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist is a fantastic match for you! With rose, sage, and orange blossom, this divinely fine spritz will renew your senses and revitalize and hydrate your skin for long-lasting moisture.
INFJ (Introvert, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging) - You'll Know It When You See It
Your intuitive nature makes for an interesting shopping experience. You don't want just any moisturizer or serum. Part of the way you find the right product for you is to test out potential candidates before you fully decide whether or not you want to invest. However many tries it takes you, you'll know the perfect product when you see it.
When your skin feels blissfully hydrated is a sign you've found your go-to skincare product. SkinMedica HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator wraps the skin in a veil of long-lasting hydration. With five forms of hyaluronic acid, this formula works with the skin to help its own production of hyaluronic acid, prevent dehydration and the lines that come from that lack of moisture.
INTJ (Introvert, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging) - You'll Second Guess Your Final Choice
When shopping for the perfect product, even after you land on the one that you're positively meant for you, you'll start overthinking it. You'll come up with any reason why there's a better product out there. Maybe you think it's too expensive, maybe you think you want a serum instead of moisturizer...or maybe an eye cream? Even if you do buy it, you'll take a couple weeks to really settle into your decision.
You just need to be assured there are multiple benefits!

ISFP (Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving) - You'll Change Your Mind After a Week
You might not start second-guessing your investment choices straight from the get-go, but you'll start wondering if your product of choice is really making a difference even though it's only been a week. You might worry a little too much when it comes to trying new products, but stop fretting! All good things take time!
You need a product that does its job, but also doesn't move at a snail's pace. A great product for you is a moisturizer like SkinCeuticals A.G.E Interrupter. Blueberry extract works to reverse the damage done to skin due to glycation when glucose molecules stick to collagen and elasticin and cause them to lose their ability to function normally.
