Normally, the skin falls into one of the three categories viz-normal, dry or greasy (oily). If the skin feels smooth, supple and elastic, it is normal. A healthy normal skin is unblemished with no enlarged pores or flaky dead cells. A flaky and dull looking skin is generally dry and needs a lot of extra care. A greasy (oily) skin often has blockheads and is is prone to acne and various disorders.
Some people have a combination skin in which case the middle of the face is shiny of the rest of the face either has a normal or dry skin.
It is essential to find out your skin type so that you can look after it accordingly and take the required care.
Allow skin-type to determine skin care routine and you will be giving your skin the best possible attention.
