What is Normal Skin?

Normal skin is what aestheticians call ‘goldilocks skin’: it’s not too dry or overly sensitive, and it doesn’t produce too much sebum or tend to break out. Normal skin is like the natural sweet spot that other skin types are trying to achieve by striking the ideal balance of moisture, smooth texture, tight pores, and radiance. The ultimate goal of skin care for normal skin is to keep all these elements in perfect harmony. Look for normal skin care products formulated to maintain that healthy balance while replenishing and nourishing.

How to Care for Normal Skin

A skin care routine for normal skin is all about keeping the natural balance. Maintain your healthy glow with normal skin care products that cleanse, tone, moisturize, and protect. Always remove every trace of makeup daily, exfoliate regularly, and add a weekly mask to your routine. And don’t forget to have a multitasking cleanser on hand like Micellar Cleansing Water.

Tips for Normal Skin

  • “Normal” doesn’t mean “low-maintenance”: Never skip on your normal skin care routine. Daily cleansing and moisturizing is key to maintain your normal skin.
  • Things change: Hormones, aging, and lifestyle can throw normal skin off balance, so treat it well and listen to your skin's needs.
  • Be protective: Always apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before going outside (even in fog!).
