• Normal skin is perfectly balanced. 
•  It neither produces too much nor too little oil. 
• It is usually in good condition and free of blemishes and dark spots as it rarely breaks out.  

Dry Skin

• Moisturizers are usually needed to make up for the lack of oil naturally produced by the skin. 

Dry Sensitive Dehydrated

• Dry skin doesn't produce enough oil. 
• Dehydrated skin would is lacking  water. 
• So a Dry Sensitive Dehydrated Skin Type lacks sufficient oil and water making it very dry and usually sensitive. 
• Dry Sensitive Skin can result from excessive caffeine consumption, allergy and cold medications, thyroid issues, smoking or improper use of cleansers.
