Let's face it, skin can be so tricky! With so many different products out on the market it's hard to find the right things to use for your skin type. Today I will break down the 4 different skin types there are! Skin type and skin condition are often confused as the same thing. A skin type is the skin you were born with and will always have. A skin condition can happen with any of the skin types such as acne, dehydration, hyper-pigmentation (known as sun spots/ sun damage), and many more! They can be corrected or managed with a change in your skin care routine.Here I will give a basic definition of the 4 different skin types!
Oily Skin is when your skin overproduces oil. Oily skin often causes acneic outbreaks, larger pores, and a shiny complexion. In some cases, it can be a little difficult to manage, but not impossible!

Normal Skin is when the skins moisture is balanced. Pores are typically smaller and blackheads are scarce.

Combination skin is when the skin has an acneic break out but also some dry patches as well. Breakouts typically occur in the T-zone. Combination can also mean Aging skin with acneic breakouts or even rosacia and dry skin. Each person is different and your genetics play a huge role in which you have.

Dry Skin is when there are dry flakes or cracks on the skin. No matter how many different hydration products you use, your skin cant seem to get enough.
