Normal Skin Care - Caring for Normal Skin Type

Normal skin has barely visible pores and radiant pinkish complexions, with no imperfections. Normal skin has an adequate amount of water and lipids, an adequate balance between them, and a moderate sensitivity level. 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. 

Normal skin is achieved by the ideal balance between the rate of sebum production and cellular exchange. Normal skin is extremely healthy, and requires no unique care. It is blemish free, smooth and soft, and responds well to mild cleansing, and light, non-greasy moisturizers.

It is a smooth textured and evenly toned with tiny pores. This skin type has a balanced oil and water content. Feels smooth and velvety. The colour of the skin glows below the translucent surface. This skin type definitely needs care if it is to last.

Skin care for normal skin:-

• 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.

• Normal Skin usually looks and feels smooth, but can also react to changes in the environment: oilier in the summer and drier in the winter.

• Choose a foundation for normal skin, like Clean Makeup , Continuous Wear Makeup or CG Smoothers SPF 15 Tinted Moisture .

• Apply a layer of moisturizer underneath for dry, winter conditions or whenever you enter a parched environment.

• Keep a pressed powder on hand for oilier moments or more humid days.

If your skin is normal, your basic routine can be very simple.

• Cleanse twice a day with a soap-free cleanser. Avoid cleansers and toners with alcohol, soaps or harsh detergents.
• After cleansing apply oil-free or low-oil/non-greasy moisturizer while the skin is still damp.
• Not everyone with normal skin necessarily benefits from moisturizing.
• Use sunscreen whenever sun exposure is expected.
• Optionally, use a moisturizing or exfoliating mask once a week.
