Which skin type may require more moisturizing products after a facial?

Oily skin
Dry skin
Combination skin
Normal skin

The correct answer is: Dry skin

Dry skin may require more moisturizing products after a facial because it lacks sufficient moisture and oil, making it more susceptible to feelings of tightness and discomfort. Facials typically involve cleansing and exfoliation, which can further deplete the skin’s natural moisture. Therefore, applying moisturizing products afterward helps replenish hydration levels, soothe the skin, and create a barrier to prevent moisture loss. Oily skin generally has a higher oil content and may not need as much moisture post-facial, as adding extra moisturizing products could exacerbate oiliness. Combination skin could have areas that are dry and oily, but the dry areas would specifically benefit from additional moisture rather than the whole face. Normal skin is already balanced in oil and moisture, so it typically doesn’t require as much additional moisturizing support compared to dry skin.
