  2. Normal Skin Normal skin is well balanced: neither too oily nor too dry. How to Identify Normal Skin Normal skin has: fine pores good blood circulation a velvety, soft and smooth texture a fresh, rosy colour uniform transparency no blemishes and is not prone to sensitivity. ‘Normal’ is a term widely used to refer to well-balanced skin. The scientific term for well-balanced skin is eudermic. The T-zone (forehead, chin and nose) may be a bit oily, but overall sebum and moisture is balanced and the skin is neither too oily nor too dry.

  3. Dry Skin Dry skin feels tight and rough, and looks dull as well. Mildly dry skin can feel tight, brittle and rough and look dull. Skin elasticity is also low. If the dryness is not treated, skin may develop: Mild scaling or flakiness in patches  A rough and blotchy appearance (sometimes it appears to be prematurely aged) A feeling of tightness possible itchiness ‘Dry’ is used to describe a skin type that produces less sebum than normal skin. As a result of the lack of sebum, dry skin lacks the lipids that it needs to retain moisture and build a protective shield against external influences.

  4. Oily Skin Oily skin has a glossy shine and visible pores. The causes of oily skin A number of issues trigger the over production of sebum: genetics hormonal changes and imbalances medication stress comedogenic cosmetics (make- up products that cause irritation) ‘Oily’ is used to describe a skin type with heightened sebum production. An over production is known as seborrhea. Oily skin is prone to comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and to the varying forms of acne.

  5. Combination Skin Combination skin is, as the name suggests, skin that consists of a mix of skin types. Combination skin is characterised by: An oily T-zone (forehead, chin and nose)  enlarged pores in this area perhaps with some impurities normal to dry cheeks The oilier parts of combination skin are caused by an overproduction of sebum. The drier parts of combination skin are caused by a lack of sebum and a corresponding lipid deficiency.

  6. Sebum and Sweat Production The amount of sebum produced by the sebaceous glands in skin controls the efficacy of the skin’s barrier function and, as a result, the condition of skin. The overproduction of sebum can lead to oily, acne-prone skin , while low sebum production causes dry skin Natural Moisturising Factors (NMF’s) Naturally produced in healthy skin, NMF’s such as amino acids help to bind water into the skin, maintain its elasticity and suppleness and prevent it from becoming dehydrated. When the skin’s protective barrier is damaged it is often unable to retain these essential NMF’s so skin moisture decreases and condition is affected. WWW.EUCERIN.MY
