What type of skin is characterized by large pores and an oily appearance?

Dry skin
Combination skin
Oily skin
Normal skin

The correct answer is: Oily skin

The type of skin characterized by large pores and an oily appearance is oily skin. This skin type typically produces an excess of sebum, which can lead to a shiny appearance and enlarged pores. Individuals with oily skin may also experience a higher incidence of acne and blackheads due to the clogging of pores with excess oil and dead skin cells. While dry skin tends to have smaller pores and can look flaky, combination skin features a mixture of both oily and dry areas, commonly having oiliness in the T-zone and dryness on the cheeks. Normal skin generally has a balanced sebum production, with small to moderate pore sizes and a healthy appearance. Understanding these characteristics helps in selecting appropriate skincare products and treatments to manage different skin types effectively.
