Mildly stimulating massage may be performed on?

  1. Sensitive skin

  2. Oily skin

  3. Normal skin

  4. Dry skin

The correct answer is: Normal skin

Mildly stimulating massage is safe for normal skin because it can help improve circulation and increase blood flow. Sensitive skin may not be able to handle the pressure from a massage and may result in irritation or inflammation. Oily skin may already have excess oil on the surface and massaging may further distribute the oil, causing a greasy appearance. For dry skin, a gentle massage may be beneficial, but a stimulation massage may be too harsh and cause further dryness.
