Normal skin is the goal of every skin care program. Yet, it may be that the only truly normal skin is that of a child. Normal skin is not too oily or dry and blemishes are uncommon. Normal skin's appearance is moist, plump and dewy. The pores are small to medium in size. The skin is of medium thickness and has an even tone. Normal skin is soft, smooth and firm with good elasticity.

Combination skin refers to skin with two or more distinctly different characteristics on different parts of the face. The most common combination skin is oily in certain areas and then dry or normal in the other areas. Usually, the "T-zone" (forehead, nose, and chin) is oily and the cheeks and around the eyes are normal or dry. Ninety-five percent of combination skin types will fit this description. The other five percent can have a variety of combinations such as a blemished forehead, dry cheeks and normal everywhere else, or the skin could be normal in the "T-zone" and dry everywhere else.

Dry skin can feel tight and may have visible flaking. It is often delicate, easily irritated, and usually sensitive to cold weather. Dry skin has a matte finish with no sheen and can have a rough feel to it. Many people think that they have dry skin when they actually have a superficial dry condition. Superficial dryness is caused by exposure to the sun, sea, air, wind, or pollutants. It is also caused by improper skin-care habits such as using soap as a cleanser or not using a moisturizer for protection. The symptoms of certain skin diseases such as eczema, mild psoriasis, or atopic dermatitis are sometimes mistaken for dry skin.

Sensitive skin has a tendency to develop distended or broken capillaries as well as allergies, and it usually sunburns easily.
