Which skin type is characterized by sufficient moisture and sebum production?

  1. Dry skin

  2. Combination skin

  3. Normal skin

  4. Mature/aging skin

The correct answer is: Normal skin

Normal skin is characterized by a balanced level of moisture and sebum production. This skin type typically feels comfortable, appears radiant, and has minimal issues such as dryness or excessive oiliness. Individuals with normal skin usually experience few blemishes and have a smooth texture, as both moisture levels and natural oils are adequately maintained. In contrast, dry skin lacks sufficient moisture and may feel tight or rough, while combination skin exhibits characteristics of both dry and oily skin in different areas of the face. Mature or aging skin often shows signs of reduced elasticity and may have varying moisture levels, but it does not specifically represent the balanced qualities of normal skin. Thus, normal skin stands out for its equilibrium between moisture and oil, making it the correct choice.
