It might have struck you not to find “Normal skin”. This is because Labelist considers all types normal. “Normal skin” is considered to be well-balanced, hydrated and glowy. It only needs keeping on hydrating it.

You must bear in mind that the skin’s condition changes frequently. There are times in which our dermis looks better than others. The main causes being the following:

The season. In cold seasons the skin is drier and in warm seasons it’s oilier.
Hormones. Examples:
Oil glands get stimulated when hormones become active during puberty and menstrual cycle. This is why teenagers are likely to get acne or oily complexion.
After menopause, estrogen levels decrease, so the skin becomes drier and more sensitive.
During pregnancy, blemishes may appear.
Ageing: it is no secret; over the years the skin becomes thinner and drier causing wrinkles to appear.
