“Normal Skin? Is It a Myth or Do Unicorns Really Exist?”

BY: ISHANI JAIN

Ah, normal skin. The ever-popular buzzword that we hear thrown around in beauty creams and soap advertisements that make us believe that we can have flawless skin and radiantly beautiful faces for the rest of our lives. But what, in fact, is considered to be normal skin? Is anyone actually got it or is it basically the nice way of telling them that your skin is too plain to belong to any category?

As with every other skin type, normal skin also merchandised and marketed without any explanation or definition, it’s time to dissect this new category and figure out whether we’re chasing the rainbow or just another myths and legends. Spoiler: Just wait until you read this, you’re going to laugh, be informed and possibly even change your mind about your skin.

What Do People Even Mean by Normal Skin?


First, let’s get technical. Dermatologists define “normal skin” as skin that is:

Balanced: Non-greasy but was not parched—to the level of Goldilocks.

Even-Toned: Usually free from large pimples, redness or black spots.

Resilient: It’s able to deal with a new product coming to market without having a hissy fit.

Smooth Pores: Those tiny holes so delicate as to be almost indiscernible (or the skincare equivalent of having a fast metabolism).

Sounds dreamy, right? But if your first group of thoughts is “Who even has skin like that?” (I know the answer to that one. And that answer is me.), you are definitely not alone.

Funny Truth: Normal skin is like that friend who wakes up one day and says she doesn’t need a mirror to look stunning. Some do … but you are quite convinced that they are just telling you an untruth.

Does Anyone Have Naturally Normal Skin review


Short answer: Rarely. Most of us can be classified with simple skin types, such as dry, oily, normal or sensitive skin types. If there’s a prize for what we refer to as ‘normal skin,’ consider it a myth like finding a unicorn in the backyard.
However, there are some individuals with normal skin, typically, it is accomplished at the young age or at some other time the skin behaves quite well (which is very rare).

Pro Tip: If your skin isn’t swearing at the weather or hormones or the new moisturizer you have just bought, you are the lucky one. You may have perfectly normal skin at the moment.

Why Is Normal Skin So Rare?

Your skin is a complex organ (yes, organ!) that’s influenced by a million factors, including:
Genetics: Thanks, Mom and Dad.

Environment: Weather conditions are here too scheming on how best to mess up your skin, and you best believe, they are doing just that.

Hormones: These tiny creatures are fond of altering the skin’s natural equilibrium.

Diet and Lifestyle: That large piece of pizza consummated at the break of the new day? Your skin noticed.

It’s not surprising that it is rather difficult to maintain normal skin when there are many factors influencing it. It’s like attempting to wear a white shirt without staining it on Christmas dinner – we all know it can be done but for how long?

Normal Skin: What’s Ours and What’s Yours

If you’re still wondering whether your part of the “normal skin” club, here’s a checklist:


It is not very oily on your ‘T’ area which includes the forehead, the nose and the chin.

Your cheeks are not rough and stretched when you wash off your face.

It is just a few pimples here and there, and, hey, they are very tiny ones.

The skin has very low color variation meaning that there is little redness or dark areas on the skin.

You don’t scrutinize labels and cross-check ingredients because you can use almost any skin product without causing an allergic reaction.

Funny Reality Check: If you read this list and you’re now wondering, “This person seems like a wizard…” –you’re not wrong. Supposed skin sounds too good to be true.

Normal Skin Type: What It’s Like To Have Flawless Skin If You’re Born Lucky

Having normal skin is like cruising through life on easy mode:

⦁    It doesn’t take a 10- step skincare regimen to keep your face shining.
⦁    You can eat at restaurants without starting to itch or pop pimples.
⦁    Your skin’s texture is not like that of sand paper when it is winter, nor like the surface of an oil lake during summer.

Funny but Relatable: The kind of skin you have is enough to make other people with acne issues scroll through Google to find ways to solve a breakout at 2 am, while they are sleeping on their flawless pillow.

Normal Skin – It’s Care and Nutrition

Normal skin is not something you have been blessed with you should be careful so you do not get to lose it. As any other machine, normal skin also requires constant attention in order to keep functioning in a proper manner. Here’s how to maintain it:
1. Cleanse Gently
Just because your skin is chill doesn’t mean you can abuse it with harsh cleansers. Stick to mild, sulfate-free options which is NEWLOOK GOLD CLEANSING MILK  that won’t strip away its natural balance.
Example: A hydrating gel or creamy cleanser works wonders.
2. Moisturize Religiously
Even normal skin needs moisture. A LOVEWARMTH REVIVELIFT ESSENCE LOTION is lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated without overwhelming it.
Pro Tip: Choose a product with ceramides or hyaluronic acid for an extra hydration boost.
3. Sunscreen, Always
If you skip sunscreen, even normal skin will revolt. Use a broad-spectrum SPF of LOVEWARMTH SPF 50 PA+++  every day—yes, even if it’s cloudy.
Funny Truth: The cream is a like paladin, which protects the skin from the dangerous ultraviolet radiation. Don’t do it, and you’re begging for problems.
4. Exfoliate Lightly
Do not over-wash your face with scrubs or pimples-acidical lotions. Thus, it should suffice to begin the process of a gentle exfoliation once or twice a week to decrease rough skin and avoid inflammation.
Tip: For an easy beauty glow up without the action, go for a mild chemical exfoliator like lactic acid.
5. Stay Hydrated and Eat Well
What you feed your body is reflected in your skin so give it lots of water, fruits and vegetables.

Funny But True: Refreshments like coffee and chips do not count as gaining hydration and nutrients in our body (too bad).
