Skin is generally classified as “normal” if it isn’t overly oily or dry and doesn’t face any persistent skin concerns or conditions.
This well-balanced healthy skin type has even levels of moisture and hydration, uniform texture, and no obvious problem areas (in other words, you’ve hit the skincare jackpot). That said, normal skin can experience slight variations in oiliness and dryness — and even the occasional breakout — when exposed to environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution.⁣

Put it simply: Normal skin is best defined as what it is not: neither oily nor dry, rarely sensitive, and not particularly problematic. With such a complexion, you may be inclined to just let it be. Why mess with perfection, right? Wrong. Even normal skin needs a bit of love and attention.⁣

Normal skin type is characterized by a radiant complexion. There are very few imperfections, barely visible pores, and no severe sensitivity. It displays a rosy, smooth texture, and the skin’s elasticity is good.

There are no visible blemishes, flaky areas, or greasy patches on the skin. All of these characteristics of normal skin are often found in young individuals. However, it is quite rare to find all these characteristics.

How to maintain normal skin?

You cannot have near-perfect skin forever, but there are ways to delay the ongoing effects of dry skin. Also, there are ways to prevent external factors such as sun damage that may affect skin type, helping you maintain normal skin for longer.

The best approach is to treat and maintain your skin type by using products that don’t cause irritation, dryness, or make the skin greasy. Avoid products that harm the skin’s natural barrier, and damage collagen.

The best possible way to care for normal skin is to lessen and protect yourself from sun exposure. The sun’s ultraviolet rays can slow the skin’s metabolism. This affects how the epidermis eliminates old tissues and replaces them with new tissue for more youthful-looking skin.

The goal of facial therapy massage is to increase the blood and oxygen supply to your skin, which improves the life of the cell. This leads to glowing and rejuvenated skin.
