How to choose a cream
Since normal skin does not experience problems due to increased greasiness or excessive dryness, it tolerates cold and heat well, it requires basic care products. Do not think that they are limited only to high-quality hydration.
Even skin that is prosperous in all respects is subject to the influence of external negative factors, especially in an urban environment, which is characterized by increased toxicity: smog, dust, exhaust gases weaken the protective properties of the epidermis.
Add to this exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which provokes photoaging, and it becomes clear that normal skin needs thorough, although not as specific care as, say, oily or dry skin.
Daily cream
The function of day creams is protection from external influences. In order for normal, naturally healthy skin to take a hit during the day, its owners should remember the three basic rules of care.
humidification. Without it, other actions aimed at the well-being of the skin are useless. So in the composition of cosmetics, look for hydrofixers:

glycerol;
aloe;
algae extracts;
thermal water.

selenium;
green tea extract.
Night cream
Night is the time allotted by nature for the restoration and renewal of the skin after daytime work. The ideal composition of a night cream for normal skin should include:
moisturizing components, since at night the skin must be restored;
antioxidants to combat oxidative stress (extracts of rose, witch hazel);
drainage ingredients to prevent puffiness (caffeine).

in summer it may well show the properties of a mixed one;
in winter lean towards dryness.
It is unlikely that you will be able to manage with one cream all year round.
Moisturizing
The task of this basic tool is to maintain an optimal level of tissue moisture. Light, non-greasy textures are suitable for normal skin: everything is in order with lipids, but there is not enough moisture. As, however, always and to everyone.

Matting
Yes, normal skin does not suffer from oily sheen, but heat and high humidity can make the T-zone shine. In this case, you can use a topical cream for combination skin to prevent unwanted radiance.
Tonal
There are no restrictions here, the only thing to consider: mineral makeup sometimes has a drying effect.
