It seems that normal skin is a myth, but in fact, in nature there are people without black dots on the nose, peeling on the forehead and pimples on the chin. And this article is for them.
Characteristics of normal facial skin
Normal, it is also ideal, the skin is found in about one person out of a thousand. And this person does not know such problems as dryness, oily sheen and rashes. Owners of normal skin are not afraid of new cosmetics and rarely, if ever, visit a beautician.
With a slight tolerance, we will take skin that is prone to oily or dryness in a moderate manifestation as normal. Such skin may: have slightly enlarged pores on the nose and slight sheen in the T-zone; peel off and suffer from dryness in winter.
The main thing in caring for normal skin is not to harm: do not overdry, on the one hand, and on the other, do not provoke blockage of pores.

Care steps
Let’s describe the care of normal skin step by step: from make-up remover to sun protection.
Purification
Modern products for washing allow you to thoroughly cleanse the skin without disturbing its hydrolipidic mantle: instead of aggressive alkaline gels, use soft foams or micellar water.
Do not forget that creamy and oily textures – milk or hydrophilic oil – are best for dissolving makeup products.
humidification
Water is vital for all body systems, and our skin is no exception. On average, it consists of about 70% liquid. Reducing the level of moisture leads to the most unpleasant consequences:
dryness
peeling;
premature wrinkles.
To maintain an optimal balance of moisture in the skin cells, use moisturizing cosmetics regularly. And exclude alcohol tonics and dry clay in bags from care.
Food
Even the most problem-free skin in the cold season will need additional nourishment. Cream with ingredients such as shea butter or cocoa butter strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, which helps it resist cold and wind.
Protection
When caring for normal skin, the main thing is not to overdry it and not cause blockage of pores.
The choice of cosmetics for normal skin
So, what should be on the shelf in the bathroom if you have normal skin?
Micellar water to remove even the most stubborn makeup.
Penka for comfortable washing in the morning and in the evening.
Good moisturizing cream – as the main daily care.
Eye cream – simply because regular face cream is not suitable for the delicate skin around the eyes.
Purifying and moisturizing masks for Sunday spa treatments at home.
You will also need a light gommage or acid peeling: regular exfoliation of dead particles of the epidermis accelerates the process of cell renewal, restores radiance to the skin and helps to better absorb the active ingredients from creams and serums.
