Baumann Skin Type 10: ORNT | The Best Skin Type: Rarest and Healthiest

25 February 2025


Baumann Skin Type 10: ORNT | The Best Skin Type: Rarest and Healthiest




Baumann Skin Type 10: ORNT



If you are a ORNT- congratulations! You have the best skin type! We call this Perfect 10 Skin. This skin type is the rarest and healthiest skin type.




The ORNT Skin Type is Oily, Resistant, No uneven pigment, and Tight. Your healthy skin has no barriers to skin health. Also referred to as Perfect 10 Skin. ORNT is what is considered to be “normal” skin and is uncommonly seen in my dermatology practice. ORNT skin is easy to manage, and your skincare regimen is aimed at keeping your skin the way it is.



What if I do not think I am oily- my skin results are wrong?




Our definition of oily skin refers to how much sebum (oil) your sebaceous glands make. Normal skin makes a sufficient amount of sebum to protect the skin. That is why you are considered oily- because you make enough oil. There are two subsets: oily (normal) and very oily. if you do not think you are oily- you are in the oily/ normal subset.



Our quiz has been validated in studies and is being used all over the world by dermatologists. You can Read more here about how our quiz was verified.




Once you try the recommended skin care regimen and experience amazing results, you will realize that you were wrong about your skin type – 80% of people are!



Why is the ORNT Skin Type the Best and Healthiest Skin Type?




ORNT is the ideal best skin type because it has no barriers to skin health. You are under the age of 30 and have no dryness, inflammation, or dyspigmentation problems. You have healthy lifestyle habits that lower your risk of skin aging. We have data on over 300,000 people from around the world and your skin type is by far the rarest.



What Are My Skin Care Goals for my Healthy Skin Type?




The goal for your perfect skin type is to keep it the best skin type. Your skin care routine will be designed to maintain healthy, clear skin rather than to treat existing skin concerns, as most ORNTs do not struggle with common conditions like acne, dryness, or accelerated aging.



Don’t use skin care products or get skin treatments that you do not need. Less is more for your skin type.




What Are the Cons of Having the ORNT Skin Type?



The ORNT skin type is called “Perfect 10 skin” because it does not have any cons or barriers to skin health. However, it is still important to take great care of your skin and continue wearing sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure in order to maintain smooth, healthy, youthful-looking skin.




What Are the Best Skincare Ingredients for ORNT Skin?



Though most ORNTs produce just enough oil to keep their skin healthy without causing shininess, some may produce more oil than needed. For this reason, skincare ingredients that help to control excessive oil on the skin and keep the skin free of clogged pores and acne are the best ingredients for Baumann Skin Type 10. Some of the best skincare ingredients for this skin type include:






Salicylic acid- clears pores




Hyaluronic acid- a humectant that gives skin a plumpness and glow



Retinol -keeps skin young and smooth and pores clear




Moisturizing Ingredients that are light and noncomedogenic



Zinc oxide and Titanium Dioxide Mineral Sunscreens- protect skin from aging and getting uneven pigmentation






What Are the Worst Skincare Ingredients for ORNT Skin?




Clogged pores are typically the only challenge for some ORNT types, so avoid ingredients that can contribute to clogged pores or excess oil on the skin. Ingredients to avoid include:






Coconut oil (Coconut extracts like lauric acid and some pure forms of coconut oil are ok)



Mineral oil




Olive oil

Best Sunscreens for ORNT Type 10 Best Skin Type

All Baumann Skin Types, including “Perfect 10” ORNTs, should wear a daily sunscreen of at least SPF 15 or SPF 30 or higher when outdoors.

Sunscreen is not always easy to remove. We have tips on how to remove sunscreen here.

What Types of Products Should ORNT Skin Types Avoid?

ORNT skin types should avoid skincare products that can lead to clogged pores. Most treatment products are unnecessary for this skin type, and a regular skincare routine that consists of a foaming cleanser, salicylic acid cleanser, non-comedogenic sunscreen, and a non-comedogenic moisturizer should suffice. If you are very oily, you can skip the moisturizer.

What Cosmetic Procedures Are Good for ORNT Skin Types?

ORNTs should avoid most cosmetic procedures because they are simply unnecessary for this ideal skin type and have the potential to cause inflammation and pigmentation.

If clogged pores are a concern for you, talk to on of our specially trained medical providers about facial extractions, HydraFacials, dermaplaning, or microdermabrasion. Other procedures, including microneedling, chemical peels, and blue light therapy, are not needed nor recommended for this skin type.

Oily, Resistant, Non-Pigmented and Tight Skin Type

If you have ORNT skin, congratulations! This is the ideal skin type is rare! It has no barriers to skin health and is the easiest to take care of as compared to the other Baumann Skin Types. To maintain your clear, healthy complexion, be sure to wear daily sunscreen and practice good sun-protection habits such as seeking shade when possible and avoiding deliberate indoor or outdoor tanning.

Stay current on Skin Care, Skin Types and Skin Science by walking our Skin Type Talks Series on YouTube. Come on the show and tell us how great it feels to have the rarest and best skin type.

We hope you will join our community and share reviews, experiences and advice with others that have the same best skin type that you have.

DQH Knowledge drop: In your 20s, your skin cell turnover decreases. (Cell turnover is a key component in keeping your skin youthful.) You know what else slows down? Your collagen production. Starting in your 20s, collagen decreases by about 1 percent per year. Should you want to prevent fine lines and wrinkles, start by eliminating behaviors that contribute to premature aging. “If it’s bad for you, it’s bad for your skin,” says dermatologist Michel Somenek. “Cigarette smoking reduces blood flow to the skin and causes premature wrinkling and a dull skin texture. Making the repeated pursed motion to inhale can also cause smoker’s lines. Alcohol and recreational drugs are toxins for the skin that damage its cellular structure and DNA,” Somenek tells us. “The faster you eliminate vices while you are young, the better chance your skin and body have to recuperate.” Also, adopting an anti-aging routine in your 20s is key. After all, the best offense is a good defense. We spoke to Somenek and experts Joshua Ross and Audrey Kunin to find out more. Keep reading for the best anti-aging products for your 20s, according to skincare professionals. Sunscreen “We all know that the sun is the number one cause of skin aging and starting the prevention in your 20s is very important,” Ross says. “The majority of your sun damage won’t start to appear until you’re in your 30s, so don’t wait until you see it surface or you’ll be behind the curve. Stay ahead of it with a good-quality zinc-based sunscreen worn daily.” Farmacy Green Defense Daily Mineral Sunscreen An invisible sunscreen with SPF 30, plus botanical extracts meant to protect skin with tons of antioxidants. Bonus: It’s clean and fine to use under makeup. Bareminerals Complexion Rescue™ Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Although we recommend you use your SPF and moisturizer separately, we also understand moments when you don’t have time or energy for that extra step. For those times, this bareMinerals moisturizer is a great thing to have on hand. Vitamin C Serum “A great introduction to anti-aging is to start with a vitamin C serum in your morning skincare routine,” Ross says. “It’s a powerful antioxidant that will neutralize free radicals and brighten the skin.” He adds that it’s a great way to counteract the effects of the sun’s harmful rays, which, as previously mentioned, are among the biggest causes of premature aging. Drunk Elephant C-Firma™ Vitamin C Day Serum The Drunk Elephant C-Firma is a lightweight serum that promises to give skin a glow by combining the brightening powers of vitamin C with ferulic acid, l-ascorbic acid, and vitamin E. The included sodium hyaluronate is meant to replace hydration loss, so you shouldn’t have to deal with any irritation. Sunday Riley C.E.O. Rapid Flash Brightening Serum This potent serum is jam-packed with vitamin C (15 percent, to be exact), which means it’s a potential superstar at both brightening skin and dousing it in antioxidants. Peptides Using peptides on your skin has many benefits, says Somenek. “The skin barrier is what defends the body against pollution, UV rays, bacteria, and toxins. It can be damaged by several everyday factors. Using topical peptides aids in building a stronger barrier,” he says. “Peptides comprise elastic fibers, which are a type of protein. These fibers help to make skin appear taut and firm. Peptides can also help repair damaged skin, relieve inflammation, and even out skin tone. Some peptides can kill acne-causing bacteria that is common in 20-somethings.” Kunin agrees, saying, “Peptides are an excellent entry point for supporting collagen.” She recommends looking for face and eye treatments that contain these collagen-boosting powerhouses. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue Cream This Charlotte Tilbury super-emollient eye cream has a base of coconut oil and shea butter (read: it’s incredibly hydrating). Botanicals plus peptides are meant to help reduce dark circles and boost collagen, respectively. This creamy moisturizer serves up potent collagen-boosting peptides and pycnogenol, and antioxidant-rich vitamin C. “Instead of sitting on top of the skin, peptides penetrate the outer layer so they go deep. The ‘signals’ they send tell the cells to produce elastin and collagen, which are needed for youthful-looking skin,” explains Somenek. At-Home Peel Pads Remember that skin cell turnover fiasco we talked about earlier? One way to help support it is by exfoliating. “Exfoliation is important to help keep skin fresh and luminous,” Kunin says. She recommends using at-home peel pads as an easy and effective way to exfoliate. “The goal in your 20s is to fight the slowing pace of cell turnover. It is wise to use products that gently exfoliate, yet still remove oil and other impurities. Products that have Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) or Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) are a good choice.” According to Somenek, you should only exfoliate two to three times a week. “People of all ages are guilty of over-exfoliating and that can be too much of a good thing,” he says. Dermadoctor Kakadu C Intensive Vitamin C Peel Pad A few swipes of this Derma Doctor powerful peel pad promise to leave your skin glowing and smooth, thanks to the seven (yes, seven) types of chemical exfoliants, including AHA and BHA. It also contains vitamin C via Kakadu plum extract for added brightening and antioxidant protection. KEY INGREDIENTS Kakadu plum extract is sourced from the Kakadu plum, a fruit grown in northern Australia. It contains vitamin C, which restores the skin’s natural barrier, increases collagen production, and soothes irritation. Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel Pads These are the gold standard of peel pads, with a cult following and over 900 five-star reviews on Sephora. They’re easy to use and contain a blend of anti-aging exfoliating acids. Emollient Night Cream “In your 20s, you need to start upping the hydration in your skincare routine. You may have been cautious of over-moisturizing because of acne in your teens, but as you enter your 20s, your skin transitions and becomes drier,” Ross says. “I recommend an emollient night cream added into your evening skincare regimen.” “Twenty-somethings need to make sure that they are not using creams that will clog their pores and cause excess oil production,” says Somenek. Opt for non-comedogenic products. Cerave Skin Renewing Night Cream One great choice is the CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream, which is a non-comedogenic night cream that leaves skin soft and glowy. It combines the moisturizing powers of ceramides and hyaluronic acid. RoC Retinol Correxion Max Hydration Creme “The best night cream ingredients contain retinol, benzoyl peroxide, and/or salicylic acid or hyaluronic acid. The goal is to moisturize, yet remove excess oil,” says Somenek. This Roc Retinol Correxion cream fits the bill as it contains both hyaluronic acid and retinol so it promises to moisturize while also being non-comedogenic.
