Different Skin Types

Normal Skin
Normal skin has an even balance between natural oils and moisture, and so is supple and plump without being greasy or dry. Normal skin can be affected with spots, but generally it has a clear, healthy appearance and will generally need less special treatment than other skin types.

Dry Skin
Dry skin is much less able to retain moisture than other skin types, and is prone to flaking and irritation. Because dry skin has a lack of moisture it can also be more susceptible to sun damage, and can age much more quickly than other skin types, so it is very important that your moisturise regularly, and treat the skin with intensive moisturizers when it gets very dry.

Greasy Skin
Greasy skin is prone to an overproduction of natural oils, which gives it a shiny, oily look and is prone to blocked pores and spots. It is important to wash your face at least once a day if you have greasy skin and gently exfoliate using a natural face brush to help unblock pores.
