I have always disliked the labeling of “normal” skin types as it gives a poor connotation for everyone who does not fit into that description (are they "abnormal"?) But a balanced skin personality is one in which the types of problems swing within a fairly good performance range and requires minimal attention. Over 75% of women fall into this category.
 
Do any of the following traits apply to your skin?
 
• Needs minimal attention
• Oiliness and dryness may fluctuate but are not predominant one way or the other
• Breaks out or develops rash or rosacea occasionally
• Smooth and even texture
• Average pore size
 
Skincare Regimen:
 
Cleansing: adjust cleansing regimen to use a sulfate-free gel-based cleanser when skin is in oily phase and cream cleanser during dry phase. Wash once, and if necessary, twice a day. Try Aloe Cleansing Gel or Chamomile Cleansing Cream
 
Exfoliation: use a AHA or fruit enzyme peel or an exfoliating scrub 2-3 times a week. Try  Skin Renewal Gel 10%, Environmental Defense Mask or
Cleansing Facial Scrub
 
Toning: Mist the skin throughout the day with homeopathic floral waters. Try  Lavender or Orange Blossom Hydrolat
 
Face Oil or Moisturizer: Use a lightweight face oil with a base of vegetal oils such as jojoba or apricot kernel blended with balancing essential oils such as neroli. Try Neroli Toning Serum
 
Use a light to medium weight moisturizer with antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C and E. Try Beech Tree & Ginseng Daily Moisture Treatment or Lavender UV Protective Cream
 
Skin Fitness:
Eat beauty foods fortified with Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’S) containing Linoleic Acid found in wild salmon, mackeral or flaxseed. EFA’s help skin cells maintain water as well as build dermal ceramides, which are the binding agent between cells that give skin firmness and tonicity.
 
Eat richly colored fruits and vegetables filled with anti-oxidant beta carotenes such as cantaloupe, grapefruit, mangoes, carrots, peppers and dark leafy greens to delay the signs of aging.
 
Herbal Remedies:
Drink five cups of green tea daily rich in anti-oxidants
Add skin healing herbs such as Burdock Root, Red Clover Blossom and Dandelion Root to juice or tea. Try Clarifying Skin Tonic
Apply Tea Tree Oil to skin with Q-tip to help clear up occasional break outs
Take Bach Flower Rescue Remedy as directed for stress
 
Skinceuticals:
· Take a multi-vitamin daily. Try Naturopathica Multi-Vitamin Preventative .
· Take extra doses of Vitamin C during stressful periods to bolster the immune system and to support the collagen and elastin matrix of the skin.
 
Beauty & Balance:
Select a relaxing ritual to practice daily like gardening, knitting or yoga. Try to incorporate a monthly maintenance program of massage or heat therapy such as sauna or steam bath.
