Skin has 3 layers : epidermis, dermis  and hypodermis. Epidermis the top most layer contains melanocytes which gives brown tint to the skin. Below it is dermis which has fibrous tissue , collagen and elastin. Hypodermis the deepest layer containing connective tissue and fat cells keeps the skin warm and protects it.

Types of Skin:

  • Normal: Fine textured , soft and smooth.
  • Dry: Tight , flaky and predisposing to facial lines.
  • Oily:Greasy skin due sebum production.Looks shiny with enlarged pores leading to blemishes and blackhead.
  • Sensitive: Fine ,translucent,suffer from redness and irritation.
  • Combination: T-zone is oily and the rest of the skin is dry (cheeks ,eyes ,cheeks )
