Normal Skin
Normal Skin — a skin type that is well balanced, with sebum and moisture levels that are neither noticeably oily nor dry, and a generally comfortable, even texture. It tends to have a smooth surface, small pores, and few sensitivities or blemishes. While often considered low-maintenance, it still benefits from consistent care and protection.
Key points
- Normal skin maintains a comfortable balance of oil and water, without persistent tightness or excess shine.
- It typically appears even in tone and texture, with minimal visible pores and a low tendency toward sensitivity or breakouts.
- Even balanced skin can change with age, season, hormones, and environment, so needs are not entirely fixed.
- A simple routine of gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and daily sun protection is generally sufficient to maintain it.
Frequently asked

Can normal skin change over time?
Yes, factors such as aging, hormonal shifts, climate, and lifestyle can cause normal skin to become drier, oilier, or more sensitive. Adjusting products as needs change helps keep skin balanced.
