This research has tried to identify various skin types and skin conditions of male adults whose Dr. Baumann`s skin type and using a non-invasive skin bioengineering. A total sample of 68 male adults aged from 20 to 55 agreed to engage in an experimentation of skin conditions. Dr. Baumann`s skin type classification equipments was used in the experimentation and to measure skin moisture and oiliness levels, elasticity, roughness, pore sizes and pigmentation, ARAMO-TS equipment was also used. The data gathered was processed by SPSS Ver.12.0 Statistics program into frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, crosstabulation analysis (x2-test), ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis. As a result, Dr. Baumann`s skin type and the skin type which subjective condition of skin was a relation from dryness and oilyness. In the skin type which subjective skin type and non-invasive measurements of skin, the moisture level appeared highly from the dry skin and the dry skin compares in different skin type and oily skin remarkably, appeared lowly. Consequently, oilyness level was biggest influence in subjective skin type.
