There are various skin types, which include dry, oily, normal, combination, and sensitive skin. Observing your skin is the best way to figure out which skin type you have!
Oily skin typically feels greasy, looks shiny, and sometimes feels a bit sweaty to the touch. People with oily skin may be more prone to blemish breakouts, and may notice that they have enlarged pores.
Dry skin often feels flaky, dehydrated, scaly, and rough. Some people notice that their dry skin is itchy.
Normal skin is neither oily nor dry- it is balanced. Normal skin doesn't experience a lot of breakouts, oiliness, dry patches, or sensitivity. It's pretty unproblematic - hence the "normal" title!
Combination skin is a combination of dry and oily skin, where different parts of the face experience different issues. Commonly with combination skin, the T-Zone is often oily, and cheeks experience dryness or are just normal!
Whether you have oily, dry, normal, or combination skin, your skin can be considered sensitive. Sensitive skin occurs when you experience redness, irritation, itchiness, or other issues on your skin.
