| Normal skin
is usually in good condition functioning normally and is neither
too dry nor too oily and has a sufficient supply of sebum and moisture.
Regular care will assure that normal skin will continue to function
in a normal way. It is essential to use a good cleanser, moisturizer, and good sun protection to maintain normal skin.

| Dry Skin
is often due to the natural aging process of the body. As a person
advances in years, the body’s own process and cells are not
replaced as rapidly as they were when the person was younger. Skin
will appear dry, dull and lifeless. Broken capillaries may also
appear on the cheeks, chin and nose.

Oily Skin
is characterized by an overproduction of sebum (oil),
enlarged pores and is more prone to pimples and blemishes. Oily
skin
is caused by factors such as adolescence, hormone imbalances and
over
active sebaceous glands. Although oily skin is more prone to blemishes
it is less prone to wrinkles and fine lines.

| Acne is
a chronic inflammatory condition usually related to hormonal changes
and overactive sebaceous glands during adolescence. Though acne
generally starts at the onset of puberty, it also afflicts adults.
Adult acne is more challenging to deal with as many adults have
sensitive skin and hormone changes related to their acne breakouts.
Choosing the right skin care products and consulting with a Dermatologist
are important in controlling adult acne. |

| Rosacea is
a chronic inflammation of the cheeks and nose. It is characterized
by redness, dilation of the blood vessels and the formation of papules
and pustules. The cause of rosacea is unclear. Certain things are
known to aggravate rosacea in some individuals. These include consumption
of hot liquids, spicy foods or alcohol, being exposed to extreme
of heat and cold and exposure to sunlight. |

|
| People whose skin
has been overexposed to sunlight during their younger years generally
start to show signs of aging between 38 and 45 years of age. Skin
will show loss of elasticity with wrinkles developing. At this time,
many people will notice brown spots and redness developing with
tiny blood vessels appearing on the nose, cheeks and chin. |
