Normal Skin

Normal skin has an even tone, soft, a smooth texture, no visible pores or blemishes, and no greasy patches or flaky areas. This type of skin has a clear, fine-textured, supple and smooth surface which is neither greasy nor dry. It glows with an inner health which stems from good blood circulation and excellent health.

There may be occasional pimples in women just before menstruation due to increased hormonal activity, which makes the sebaceous glands overactive. Acne is, however, not a problem for people with normal skin.

It is beautiful, but it needs care if it is to last. Neglect can lead to signs of aging and wrinkling.

Skin Care for Normal Skin

• The only care this skin requires is cleaning it twice a day with a mild baby soap and water and toned with something mild, like rose water.
  
• At night, to keep your skin's normal moisture- balance apply a thin film of home-made moisturizer.
  
• Any time your skin becomes slightly oily or slightly dry in any area correct these tendencies by following the advice given regarding these types of skin.
  
• Follow every cleansing with a mild freshener to keep pores tight and to remove traces of cleanser clinging to the skin. Use an astringent with a low alcohol content.
  
• Avoid direct heat on the face-including that from blow dryers.
  
• Always use a mild, oil-based moisturizer under makeup to help retain surface moisture.
  
• Guard against the drying, aging effects of the sun by using makeup products that contain a sunscreen.
  
• Once every two weeks, stimulate the circulation and smooth the surface of the skin by using a nondrying mask.
