It depends on how you define normal. As far as the cosmetics industry is concerned,
every woman can and should have normal skin. Yet acquiring normal skin is like trying
to scale a peak with a slippery, precarious slope. At some point you are going to take a
wrong step. And if you have normal skin, at some point it isn’t going to be normal any
more. Like the rest of our bodies, skin is in a constant state of change. Even women with
seemingly perfect complexions go through phases of having oily, dry, or blemish-prone
skin—and then there are all the issues related to sun damage or merely growing older. In
reality, no one is likely to have normal skin for very long, no matter what she does. Chasing
after normal skin can set you on an endless skin-care buying spree, running around
in circles trying everything and finding nothing that works for very long or that makes
matters worse.
In any case, identifying skin type is highly subjective. Many women have really wonderful
skin but refuse to accept it. The smallest blemish or wrinkle or the slightest amount of dry
skin distresses them. Or some women see a line or two around their eyes and immediately
buy the most expensive anti-wrinkle creams they can find in the hope of warding off their
worst imagined nightmare. This is one of those times where being realistic is the most
important part of your skin-care routine. skin#outlook #theoriginalbeautybible
