Skin Types

The first step towards beautiful skin is working out what your skin type is, keeping in mind that the condition of one's skin is likely to change several times throughout the course of their life for any number of different reasons.
Earlier the skin was not classified into various categories and all was considered to be similar. But now it is not the same as there are different skin types and different people have varying skin types and treatments are to be done according to that.
Each person's skin is unique and is a natural combination of three factors:
Water content: which is responsible for the skin's suppleness and comfort.
Lipid content: which is responsible for nutrition and softness.
Level of sensitivity: which is responsible for the skin's resistance to and tolerance of environmental factors.

1) Normal skin
