Dry skin – Dry skin has a low level of sebum – ‘natural skin oil’, is not well hydrated and feels parched, dull and tight since it cannot retain moisture. One always feels the need to put some moisturizer or cream after washing the face.

Oily skin – The skin looks shiny, thick and dull due to overactive oil glands. It is very prone to acne and open pores. You feel the need to wash the skin repeatedly every 2-3 hours due to the greasy look.
