This formula is for a Normal to Dry skin

Normal Skin- is much rarer than one would imagine, especially in industrial areas. The skin is smooth, healthy, fine-pored with a thick epidermis: it is evenly supplied with oil and moisture and if looked after and not abused, remains smooth and unwrinkled to a later age.

 

Dry Skin- is characterized by a lack of fat or moisture caused by an insufficient flow of sebum from the sebaceous glands. The epidermis is thin, the complexion pink, and the surface frequently scaly. Dry skin wrinkles easily, often prematurely.
