Combination Skin:
This type 
of skin is very common. As the name suggests, it is a combination of both oily and dry skin with certain areas of the
face oily and the rest dry. Usually there is a Central greasy panel consisting of the forehead, nose and chin
and a dry panel consisting of cheeks and the areas around the eyes and mouth. The greasy central panel is referred to as T
- Zone. In such cases, each part of the face should be treated accordingly - the dry areas as for dry skin and the central
panel as for oily skin.

Dry and Dehydration:
Dry skin has a dry parched appearance and
has a tendency to flake easily. It is prone to wrinkles and lines. It is due to the inability to retain moisture as well as
the insufficient production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. Dry skin often has problems in cold weather and ages faster
than normal or oily skin. Constant protection is very important. It needs a moisturiser during the day and a good cream at
night.
Normal Skin:
It has a fine even texture with a supple
and smooth surface. It has a proper balance between oil and moisture contents and is therefore moist and neither greasy nor
dry. It looks clear and does not develop spots and blemishes. The pores of the skin are fine and barely visible. It reflects
good health and requires gentle treatment.
