The analysis suggests you have combination skin, characterized by varying oiliness in different facial zones. In terms of facial aesthetics, 'normal' and 'combination' are seen as the most attractive by current beauty standards.

Skin oiliness is typically categorized into four types, based on its appearance:
Dry Skin: Dry skin can produce almost invisible pores, a dull complexion, red patches, and less elasticity. It is more prone to aging and irritation.
Normal Skin: Normal skin is not too dry or too oily. It has no or few imperfections, no severe sensitivity, barely visible pores, and a radiant complexion.
Combination Skin: This skin type can be dry or normal in some areas and oily in others, such as the T - zone(nose, forehead, and chin).It can have pores that look larger than normal because they’re more open, blackheads, and shiny skin.
Oily Skin: Oily skin can produce enlarged pores, dull or shiny, thick complexion, blackheads, pimples, or other blemishes.Oiliness can change depending upon the time of year or the weather.
For females, normal oiliness on the skin is better as compared to dry skin. Try et al. (2010) describe normal skin as a perfect balance of health and comfort, lacking visible lesions or discomfort, and being easy to maintain and decorate with makeup. In contrast, dry skin, characterized by roughness and inflexibility, can lead to discomfort such as reddening, cracking, and itching, affecting daily skin management and appearance. Farage et al. (2007) further emphasize the benefits of normal skin, particularly in the context of aging. They note that normal, slightly oily skin ages more slowly, maintaining better hydration and elasticity, which helps prevent wrinkles and keeps skin smooth. Lastly, Puścion-Jakubik et al. (2021) reinforce the preferable traits of normal skin in young women, highlighting its smoothness and firmness without defects, in contrast to dry skin’s challenges like dehydration and poor keratinization, which lead to aesthetic and comfort issues. Collectively, these studies underscore why normal skin is advantageous, promoting healthier and more attractive skin in women.
