Good skin care

Good skin care — including sun protection and gentle cleansing — can keep your skin healthy and glowing.

The right routine starts with knowing what kind of skin you have. Then you’ll know how to take care of it.

Dry skin is flaky, scaly, or rough.

Oily skin is shiny, greasy, and may have big pores.

Combination skin is dry in some spots (cheeks) and oily in others (forehead, nose, and chin).

Sensitive skin may sting, burn, or itch after you use some makeup or other products.

Normal skin is balanced, clear, and not sensitive.
