Spotlight on Skin Type: Normal
Skin is classified into different types, including normal, oily, dry, and sensitive. While some people have a combination of one or more of these skin types in different areas, it is important to understand what constitutes each and how they should be cared for.
Additionally, a person’s skin type can change over time. Younger people are more likely than older people to have a normal skin type, but they can also experience more oily skin during puberty and other life changes.
Skin types vary depending upon a combination of factors. They include the following characteristics of your skin:
- Water content – This affects your skin’s comfort and elasticity.
- Lipid (oil) content – This affects your skin’s softness and nutrition.
- Level of sensitivity – This affect’s your skin’s tolerance to certain substances.
In order to take better care of your skin, here is some information that will tell you a bit more about each type. This is the first post in a series of posts spotlighting the different types. Tune in next week for another type.
Normal Skin
People with skin classified as normal are fortunate because this means their skin has a good balance as well as the right amount of water and lipids. Normal skin is characterized by the following:
- Few imperfections
- No severe sensitivity
- Barely visible pores
