3 ideal natural remedies to care for normal and mixed skin
Normal skin is a balanced skin, neither too dry nor too greasy. It is a skin that has both well-balanced sebum and hydration. Instead, Mixed skin is a skin that contains the characteristics of two skin types.
The characteristics of a normal skin are, smooth texture, soft, velvety, fine pores, has no impurities, has good blood circulation, its color is pink and fresh looking.
The characteristics of a mixed skin as described above share two types of skin and can be seen in the area called T. This area called T is that which comprises the forehead, chin and nose and is a more fatty area than the rest of the skin of the face as it is the case of the cheeks in which the skin is normal or dry.
Another feature of the mixed skin are the enlarged pores in the fatty areas and the presence of some impurities. Over the years, the skin changes, and both normal and mixed skin can become dry as you get older.
Other factors may also predispose us to skin alterations such as pollution, changes in temperature, sun, cold, poor nutrition, lack of internal hydration, the physical and psychological state, the products of Daily care that we use is sometimes irritating or aggressive to the skin.
