SKIN TYPES - Know your skin type

There are four skin types.

1. Normal skin - It looks clear, supple and healthy. Normal skin still needs good skin care, but requires less treatment than other skin types.

2. Dry skin cannot retain moisture as well as normal skin. It may flake and it is prone to wrinkles and lines.

3. Oily skin - There is excess oil on the surface of the skin. Oily skin often develops spots and pimples. Important skin care tips for oily skin include regular and thorough cleansing.

4. Combination skin - The forehead, nose and chin may be oily, and the cheeks and other areas may be dry.
