What are different skin types?

1. Normal Skin: Normal skin is well-balanced, neither too oily nor too dry. It has a smooth texture, small pores, and few blemishes. Normal skin typically maintains a healthy moisture level and is not overly sensitive to skincare products.

2. Oily Skin: Oily skin produces an excess amount of sebum, the skin’s natural oil. This can result in a shiny or greasy complexion, enlarged pores, and a tendency to develop acne and blackheads. Oily skin may also be prone to congestion and breakouts, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin).

3. Dry Skin: Dry skin lacks moisture and tends to feel tight, rough, or flaky. It may appear dull or ashy and is more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles. Dry skin can be caused by factors such as genetics, aging, harsh weather conditions, or using drying skincare products.

4. Combination Skin: Combination skin exhibits characteristics of both oily and dry skin types. Typically, the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) is oilier, while the cheeks and other areas may be dry or normal. Managing combination skin often involves using different skincare products for different areas of the face to address specific concerns.

5. Sensitive Skin: Sensitive skin is prone to irritation, redness, and inflammation in response to various triggers, such as skincare products, environmental factors, or certain ingredients. It may react negatively to harsh chemicals, fragrances, or extreme temperatures. People with sensitive skin often need gentle, fragrance-free products formulated for sensitive skin.

6. Mature Skin: Mature skin refers to skin that has aged over time and exhibits common signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, loss of elasticity, and uneven tone and texture. Skincare for mature skin focuses on hydration, collagen stimulation, and antioxidant protection to minimize the visible effects of aging.
