What is the main feature of normal skin type?

  1. Marked sensitivity

  2. Visible fine lines

  3. Few breakouts and small pores

  4. Enlarged capillaries

The correct answer is: Few breakouts and small pores

Normal skin type is characterized by a balanced moisture level, which results in few breakouts and small pores. This skin type typically has a smooth texture and an even complexion, reflecting a healthy and well-functioning barrier. The presence of few breakouts indicates that the skin is not overly oily or dry and is generally well-hydrated. In contrast, marked sensitivity refers to skin that reacts more intensely to products or environmental factors, while visible fine lines are often signs of aging or dehydration. Enlarged capillaries are usually associated with sensitivity or conditions like rosacea, indicating a different skin issue rather than the balanced quality of normal skin. Overall, the characteristic of having few breakouts and small pores is what distinguishes normal skin type from others.
