What are the types of skin, and what are the characteristics of each type?

There are generally four main types of skin: normal, dry, oily, and combination. Here are the characteristics of each type:

1. Normal skin:
- Balanced skin type with a good balance of oil and moisture
- Small pores
- Smooth texture
- Rarely experiences breakouts or sensitivity

2. Dry skin:
- Lacks moisture and oil
- Feels tight and may appear dull or flaky
- Small pores
- Prone to fine lines and wrinkles

3. Oily skin:
- Produces excess oil, leading to a shiny appearance
- Enlarged pores
- Prone to acne and breakouts
- Skin may feel greasy or sticky

4. Combination skin:
- Combination of oily and dry areas on the face
- T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) tends to be oily, while cheeks are dry
- Enlarged pores in the T-zone
