Dry and Dehydrated Skin
tends to be dehydrated. Its lack of oil diminishes its
ability to retain moisture since oil in the skin acts as a
natural barrier against moisture loss. Dry skin is
characterized as very fine overly delicate and thin. In
dry skin pores are almost invisible. The skin also tends
to wrinkle easily and is often filled with tiny superficial
lines.

| Oily and Combination Skin can be recognized by its shiny, thick and firm appearance. Pores look enlarged, the complexion tends to look dirty and neglected, occasionally with blemishes on the chin or the forehead area and feels oily to the touch. |
Normal Skin
looks soft, moist, plump and dewy and has a healthy
glow and color. It has a fine texture and there are no
visible wrinkles, fine lines or open pores. The best
example of normal skin is that of children from birth
usually until puberty.

| Aging Skin can be recognized by its poor elasticity, lack of normal firmness and sagging. It suffers an accentuation of lines and wrinkles as a result of increased dryness and dehydration caused by skin thinning and reduced oil gland activity. The complexion looks withered and assumes an "old ivory" shade as melarlin production diminishes. The aging skin looses elasticity, is unable to regulate water and renewal process. |

Sensitive Skin
Sensitivity reactions are very complex and depending
on the individual experiencing them. Because the
chemical composition of each person's skin varies, this
might be sufficient for one person to react sensitively
to an ingredient while another may not. Climate,
ambient pollution levels and the like also combine with
the skin's own chemistry. This can produce a chemical
reaction leading to a sensitivity by the skin, that
manifests itself as redness, itching and burning.
