Dehydration can be found in which skin types?

  1. Normal, Oily, and Sensitive

  2. Dry, Oily, and Combination

  3. Combination, Dry, and Sensitive

  4. Only Oily skin

The correct answer is: Dry, Oily, and Combination

Dehydration can indeed be present in various skin types, and the best answer represents that understanding well. Dry skin, while often characterized by a lack of oil, can also suffer from dehydration, which refers to a lack of water content. Oily skin can be dehydrated as well; the presence of excess oil does not preclude the possibility of insufficient moisture in the skin. Combination skin, which has both oily and dry areas, can also experience dehydration since the balance of moisture can be disrupted in certain areas despite the overall presence of oil. This answer reflects a broader understanding of skin types and acknowledges that dehydration is not limited to one specific skin type. Skin can be oily, dry, or a mix of both, and still experience the effects of dehydration, making option B the most accurate choice.
