Normal skin is well-balanced; it's neither too oily nor too dry. This means your skin feels comfortable and hydrated without feeling greasy or tight. It typically has a smooth, even texture, unnoticeable pores, and an even-toned complexion.
While some people may have skin that closely resembles this description, it's important to remember that "normal" skin is a relative term. Most people fall somewhere on a spectrum between dry and oily, with the majority having combination skin. This means they have oily areas (usually the T-zone) and drier areas (cheeks and around the eyes).
Here are some key characteristics of normal skin:
- Hydrated and comfortable: It doesn't feel tight or dry.
- Balanced oil production: Not overly oily or dry.
- Smooth texture: No noticeable roughness or flakiness.
- Even skin tone: No significant redness, discoloration, or blemishes.
- Minimal breakouts: Not prone to frequent or severe acne.
- Unnoticeable pores: Pores are generally small and not prominent.
It's important to note that "normal" skin is not a scientific term. It's more of a general description of healthy, balanced skin. The scientific term for healthy skin is eudermic.
