How to Determine My Skin Tone?
Skin tone can be seen from the surface. It is the outer layer of the skin or also known as the epidermis and also the skin overtone. You can see it by looking at yourself in the mirror, taking a picture on your phone, or from a camera.

The four main skin tones:
- Light
- Fair
- Medium
- Dark
Ways to Determine Skin Tone
Check your jawline
The jawline area is the least impacted by sun exposure. There are usually not many tone changes around the jawline. You can determine if you have light, fair, medium, or dark skin tone from there.
