Skin Types

Now I know there are some that might find this post a little silly and unnecessary, but after speaking with a few individuals, I discovered there are some that are unsure of the different skin types and where exactly they fit in.  

Normal- I swear it’s the rarest form, although it is called “normal.”  This skin type really has nothing to complain about.  On most days there is not a problem with oil or dryness.

Dry- Flaky, always dry, never enough moisturizer.  Sometimes can be a symptom of a thyroid disorder.

Oily- Enough said.  Regular breakouts.

Sensitive- usually needs to use hypoallergenic products.  Reacts poorly to those that aren’t.  (Redness, burning, hives, etc.)

Combination- The skin type with the most confusion.  Combination is the most common skin type.  This skin type is oily (usually in the ‘T’ Zone) with a few dry patches all at the same time.

The reason I thought it necessary to review was because I found some women to be confused with the definitions of the Normal and Combination skin types.

Hope this helped.
