Skin types are classified into three main categories: normal, oily and dry. Skin conditions develop
over time and can apply to all three skin types leading to the many combinations that make
everyone's skin unique. The most common skin conditions are
dehydration, sensitivity,
pigmentation, aging and acne vulgaris.

Dry and Dehydrated Skin
tends to be dehydrated. Its lack of oil
diminishes its 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.
