Dry skin often appears coarse, tight, dull and flaky, with visible lines and wrinkles. Massage with essential and cold pressed oils can stimulate metabolism and alleviate dry skin conditions. Normal Skin Normal skin produces a healthy amount of sebum, and tends to be neither dry nor oily in feel. Sensitive Skin Sensitive skin reacts unfavorably to a variety of chemicals and environmental factors. Having had ample opportunity to compare brand new baby skin with skin that is just a few years old, it seems to me that all skin is delicate and sensitive when it is new.
Many people have different skin types on different parts of the face.
For example, it is not uncommon for a person to have oily skin around the nose, forehead and chin, while the rest of the face is more on the dry side. If you have more than one skin type on your face, it is wise to use products containing different ingredients to treat the areas differently. Several years ago, I was shocked to learn of the ingredients that were in most of the skin care products I had been using on my skin for years. They were full of preservatives, thickeners, harsh gelling agents, dyes and a number of other chemical ingredients. These ingredients were designed to increase the aesthetic appeal and shelf life of products, but contributed nothing at all to the health of my skin.
