Did you realise that when you purchase facial products like facial foam and cleanser, there is a 'for normal/combination skin' sign there?
Do you know what type of skin you process?
There are primarily types of skin:
1.Normal
2.Oily
3.Combination
4.Dry
5.Sensitive
Below is a simple introduction to the types of skin.:)
1.Normal skin
-Normal skin is the 'most ideal' type of skin.
-It does not feel oily (secretes the ideal amount of oil), not dry and not sensitive either.
2.Oily skin
-Many teenagers complain of oily skin.
-Well, most teenagers have oily skin (it does not mean that only teenagers have oily skin, but a large amount of adults have too(: )
People with oily skin does not feel well during the morning and after dinner/in the evening.
-Your face feels sticky and when you wipe it, your fingers are oily.
-Oily skin peeps are more prone to pimples
Tip:
