A healthy skin should be:

  1. perfectly dry

  2. without any color

  3. slightly moist

  4. bluish in color

The correct answer is: slightly moist

A healthy skin should not be perfectly dry because this could indicate dehydration or lack of moisture. Skin that is too dry may appear flaky, dull, or itchy. On the other hand, skin should not be overly moist as it could indicate excessive oil production, which can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Skin that is without any color, as mentioned in option B, could potentially indicate a lack of blood flow or circulation. Lastly, skin that is bluish in color, as stated in option D, could suggest a lack of oxygen and poor blood flow. Therefore, a slightly moist skin is the most optimal as it maintains a healthy balance of moisture.
