Different skin types
Knowing your skin type is the first step to choosing what goes on it.
Normal skin
Normal skin type is neither too dry nor too oily. Generally, this type is less reactive to outside effects and easy to maintain. This skin type has no or few blemishes, not overly sensitive, barely visible pores and a radiant complexion.
Oily skin
Oily skin type can be complicated, as it is not necessarily oily all the time. You will see shiny patches on the nose, forehead, or chin around noon. This type may have enlarged pores, dull or shiny, plump complexion, blackheads, pimples or other blemishes.
Dry skin
Dry skin can exhibit slight scaliness, flakes, tightness, or be ashy, red, or rough. This dryness can cause it to become rough and scaly, especially on the back of your hands, arms, and feet.
Sensitive skin
If you have this type of skin, you may notice redness, itching, burning and dryness. Products, foods and the environment can cause frequent triggers to this type of skin.
Combination skin
The "T-Zone" as it is referred is typically oily on people with this skin type, however the cheeks will be dry. This presents a challenge that is common to both types.
