Glossary Skin Types

categorization of skin based on its characteristics and behavior

Skin types, also known as skin classifications, refer to the categorization of skin based on its characteristics and behavior. The primary skin types are normal, oily, dry, combination, and sensitive. These classifications help in determining the appropriate skincare routines and treatments, as each type has unique needs and potential issues. For instance, oily skin may require products that control sebum production, while dry skin benefits from intensive moisturization.
