Is my body skin the same type as my facial skin?

While the skin is one organ, because certain parts of your body vary in thickness or are more exposed to environmental factors, the skin on your body can sometimes seem like a patchwork of different skin types. Certain body parts, such as feet, hands and elbows, tend to be dryer than the rest of your body. Other body areas, such as the shoulders, back and chest can be oily or acne-prone in people with oily or acne-prone facial skin. Skin that is usually not exposed to the elements can be more sensitive to sun exposure and other environmental factors and often feels and reacts differently than the skin on your face.
