Normal skin has an even tone, soft, a smooth
texture, no visible pores or blemishes, and no greasy patches or flaky areas.
This type of skin has a clear, fine-textured, supple and smooth surface which is
neither greasy nor dry. It glows with an inner health which stems from good
blood circulation and excellent health.
There may be occasional pimples in women just before menstruation due to
increased hormonal activity, which makes the sebaceous glands overactive. Acne
is, however, not a problem for people with normal skin.
It is beautiful, but it needs care if it is
to last. Neglect can lead to signs of aging and wrinkling.
