Which of the following is NOT one of the five skin types?

  1. Dry

  2. Normal

  3. Aging

  4. Oily

The correct answer is: Aging

The classification of skin types is generally categorized into five main types: dry, normal, oily, combination, and sensitive. While aging is indeed a concern in skincare, it is considered a condition or an aspect of skin health rather than a distinct skin type. Aging refers to the changes that occur in the skin over time, including loss of elasticity, fine lines, and wrinkles, which can affect any of the skin types mentioned. Therefore, "aging" does not fit within the established categories of skin types, making it the correct answer to this question. Understanding skin types is essential for tailoring skincare treatments and products effectively.
