What defines normal skin?
Much like it sounds, normal skin refers to skin that is neither too oily, nor too dry. If you have a normal skin type, you likely don’t experience a lot of day-to-day concerns and may even feel you don’t need to do much to keep your skin balanced. And while this may be true, normal skin still requires consistent care.
By developing good skincare habits early on, normal skin types will be better able to prevent premature aging, and enjoy radiant skin health over a lifetime.
How To Spot a Normal Skin Type
When taking a closer look at normal skin, you’ll notice that the pores are somewhat visible but consistent in size.
Because normal skin tends to produce a healthy amount of oil, it will feel smooth to the touch but not slick or greasy. This type is also less likely to experience breakouts or sensitivity, as the skin barrier is able to easily maintain proper hydration and moisture levels.
Tips for Daily and Weekly Care
If you have a normal skin type, your routine should be focused on the basics but may also include targeted treatments for protecting the skin against external stressors. Antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin B, and Vitamin E are all great options. You may also wish to incorporate youth-boosting actives like peptides.
In addition to daily care, normal skin types will benefit from regular exfoliation using acid-based ingredients like glycolic, lactic, and malic acid, which digest dead skin and support rejuvenation at the cellular level.
