Normal skin is when your face is neither too oily nor too dry, unlike a combination that is a mix of oily and dry skin types. It is a balance between both. Moreover, they have smaller sized pores. And also tend to have an even skin tone.
When normal skin type occasionally faces dryness, you want to use products targeted for normal-dry skin type. Likewise, if it feels oily or the pores are clogged, use products made for normal- oily skin type.
The basics for normal skin type is similar to others. For instance, we have a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and SPF. Additionally for extra benefits, one can use masks, exfoliators, etc.
