DRY SKIN
Dry Skin is characterized by small pores and a matte (dull) finish with little or no superficial oil or shine. Expression lines are quick to form on dry skin, especially around the eyes and mouth. Dry skin is more common in women over 50 and in those who live in low-humidity climates. Dry skin can develop among women who don’t protect their skin from outdoor elements. Such skin becomes rough and may flake or crack.
NORMAL SKIN
Normal skin is a healthy looking skin with a smooth texture. It contains a balance of oil and moisture and has infrequent blemishes or clogged pores. When properly cared for, lines and wrinkles seldom form on this type of skin until late in life.
COMBINATION SKIN
Combination skin is a healthy looking skin with a smooth texture and some oiliness in the T-zone areas (the area forming a T across the forehead and down the nose and chinwith some signs of dryness on the cheeks and outer edges of the face. When properly cared for, lines and wrinkles seldom form on this type of skin until late in life.
OILY SKIN
Oily skin results when the sebaceous glands produce too much oil, giving skin a shiny appearance. Sometimes, a greasy or sticky feel remains for several hours after cleansing. It is also characterized by larger pores than other skin types and is more prone to breakouts, clogged pores and blemishes.
Oily skin may tend to wrinkle less readily that drier skin types. The large amount of oil in the skin’s surface helps the upper layer retain water and protect the skin from environmental causes of dryness.
