After all, those with dry and oily skin are looking for products to make their skin look and act more normal—and here you are already blessed with such skin! But, don't take that to mean you can skip key steps or expect that your skin will always remain normal.

The best possible way to care for normal skin is to make sure you're using gentle, effective products whose textures work with your skin type and preferences—and whose formulas are designed to keep your skin acting normally while defending against irritation and factors that lead to signs of aging. People with normal skin can use any soothing products according to wheater…so no need to take extra care just follow CTM ( cleansing , toning , moisturizer) daily..
