What is the difference between normal skin and combination skin

Normal skin and combination skin are both common skin types. Normal skin is the healthiest type of skin. Many people cannot tell the difference between normal skin and combination skin. In fact, these two types of skin can be seen from facial expressions, for example, the nose wings of people with combination skin will be oily.

1. Normal skin

Neutral skin is the healthiest ideal skin, with a pH value between 5-5.6. The secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands is moderate. It is not greasy or dry, but elastic. There are no pores, and it is rosy and shiny. It does not age easily. It is more common in pre-pubescent boys and girls, infants and young children, as well as people who take good care of themselves.

2. Combination skin

Combination skin has the characteristics of both oily skin and dry skin. The T zone of the face (forehead, nose, mouth, and jaw) is oily, while the rest of the face is dry. Combination skin is more common in people between the ages of 25 and 35, and most people in China have this type of skin. In addition to some people who are born with combination skin, some people develop combination skin due to stress. Of course, there are also people who used to have neutral skin or oily skin, but became combination skin with age and environmental changes.

3. Facial differences

Neutral skin has no pores, is delicate, and neither dry nor oily. Combination skin is divided into two types: one is combination-oily, and the other is combination-dry. Combination-oily skin has oily T-zone and a little oily cheeks, but not as oily as oily skin. Combination-dry skin has oily T-zone, delicate pores on cheeks, and dry lines at the corners of the eyes.

4. Others

Neutral skin is a state in which the moisture and sebum secretion of the skin's stratum corneum are in balance. It is characterized by a balanced thickness, fine texture, small pores, smoothness, softness, elasticity, and is not very sensitive to external stimuli. This type of balance is common in children during puberty. Combination skin is composed of two basic types, usually a combination of neutral and oily or oily and dry skin, and is more common in young and middle-aged people. Everyone's skin type is not static; it changes with age, season, environment, habits and physical condition.
