There are five basic types of skin: normal, oily, dry, sensitive, and combination skin. Normal skin is balanced and feels neither too dry nor too oily, oily skin is identified by clogged and open pores, a natural tendency for acne, and an oily sheen, dry skin produces less natural oils than other skin types, resulting in a dull and rough appearance with flaky or scaly patches, sensitive skin is prone to redness and burning sensations, and combination skin has both oily and dry areas of your face.
