Dry skin type: If you always feel dryness in your skin you may have dry skin type. In such condition you will feel tight and harsh skin.

Oily skin type: Oily skin type people face acne more than the rest of the others. This is due to the reason that oily skin type people have an active oil gland. This produces excessive oil in face.

In such case your T-zone of face experiences oily sensation much and thus this area largely gets acne and pimples.
