What Is Normal Skin?
Normal skin is usually able to tolerate a wide variety of product formulas without running into any issues, like sensitivity or breakouts. With an even tone and texture, and no particular problem areas, nomal skin looks healthy and doesn't struggle with excess oil or feelings of discomfort like dryness and tightness.
Even though you're able to use more formulas with a normal skin type, it's still important to create a routine to support your skincare journey as your skin ages.

What Is Dry Skin?
Dry skin often feels tight and itchy, and can be flaky and even irritated. Dry skin struggles to retain moisture, and doesn't tend to struggle with oiliness - instead having a low level of sebum.
During the colder weather, dry skin will be exacerbated thanks to the cold, dry air, and the change in temperature as you go from the chilly outdoors to central-heated homes.
Dry skin needs gentle, hydrating care in order to allow it to regenerate and rebalance.

What Is Oily Skin?
Oily skin usually looks shiny, and has a thick and dull texture. It often shows enlarged pores, and can be prone to pimples or blackheads thanks to the result of overactive sebaceous glands that produce more oil than is necessary
Oily skin can be caused by a number of factors, including: stress, hormones, pregnancy, family history, and your diet.
With a proper skincare routine that's tailored to your needs, it's possible to control the excess oil and enjoy healthy, happy skin.

What Is Sensitive Skin?
Sensitive skin usually has signs of inflammation and irritation, including rashes and blotchiness. It can also feel hot and itchy, and can feel uncomfortable with stinging sensations.
Usually caused by environmental factors or products, it's possible to identify the irritant causing sensitivity by process of elimination, then treating the cause with a regime that corrects the damage rather than masks it.
Dealing with sensitive skin can be tough - especially if you're not sure what's causing you're sensitivity. If you're struggling, our skin experts are available to help you via phone 0113 282 7744, or email at shop@facethefuture.co.uk.
