Normal skin: keep it balanced

Normal skin is balanced: not noticeably oily or dry, with small pores, few breakouts and little sensitivity. The goal is maintenance, so a gentle cleanser, a light moisturizer, an antioxidant serum such as vitamin C and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen are usually all it needs.

Makeup tips for normal skin

  • Prep and prime

    • A lightweight, hydrating primer is enough.
    • Try an illuminating primer for extra glow.

  • Foundation

    • Most formulas work, so choose by finish.
    • Satin and natural finishes suit normal skin well.

  • Application

    • Blend outward from the center of the face.
    • Layer only where you want more coverage.

  • Setting

    • A light dusting of powder where you crease.
    • Setting spray gives a seamless finish.

  • Touch-ups

    • Usually minimal; carry a pressed powder if you like.

General skincare information, not medical advice. Patch test new products, and see a dermatologist for persistent or worrying skin concerns.

How do you know if you have normal skin?

Skin feels comfortable a few hours after washing, neither tight nor shiny. Pores are small and breakouts are occasional. Skin rarely reacts to new products. Makeup wears evenly through the day.

Questions

Questions people ask

Do I need a skincare routine if I have normal skin?

A simple one. Cleanse, moisturize and wear sunscreen every day. Sunscreen matters most, because sun exposure affects every skin type.

Can normal skin change?

Yes. Skin can get oilier or drier with seasons, hormones, age and climate, so adjust products when it feels different rather than sticking to one routine forever.
