We already mentioned that too much sebum production will result in oily skin, and not enough – dry skin. Some people present both types, indicating they have combination skin, which I will discuss later. But, you already might be able to guess, a well-regulated sebum production is present in normal skin types.

People with this type of skin are not faced with the appearance of dryness or excess oil, so they don’t really need to buy specialised products to compensate for oil or dehydration. Of course, this doesn’t relieve them of skincare concerns, as they have to have the right routine to protect and ensure continuous moisture of the skin, as it helps to prevent it from ageing.

Here are some of the characteristics of normal skin:

  • less noticeable and tighter pores;
  • the texture is not too oily or dry;
  • the skin feels neither tight nor shiny soon after cleansing.

The number one rule of protecting normal skin is “Don’t fix what isn’t broken!”

Having normal skin most likely means you’re doing things right and there’s really no need to complicate them. As long as you cover the key steps with scientifically-researched, gentle products, then you’ll be fine.

The basic skincare routine should include cleanser, moisturiser and an SPF. If you feel like adding an anti-ageing element, feel free to add retinol or antioxidant serums.
