What is combination skin? Combination skin is a common skin type characterized by different skin conditions on different areas of the face. Typically, people with combination skin develop oily and dry patches on their face.
The most common combination is oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), while the cheeks and other parts of the face can be normal or dry. Let’s analyze the characteristics of combination skin:
Oil in T zone: The forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone) tend to be oilier than the rest of the face. This is because these areas have a higher concentration of sebaceous glands and are more likely to produce excess oil.
Dry or normal cheeks: There may be dry or normal skin on the cheeks and sometimes the area around the eyes and mouth. These areas may feel tight, scaly, or have rough patches.
Occasional outbursts: People with combination skin may be more prone to acne or occasional breakouts, especially on oily areas of the face.
Enlarged pores. Pores in the T-zone often appear larger due to increased oil production. The best skin care routine for combination skin. Taking care of combination skin requires a balanced skin care routine that treats both oily and dry areas of the face.
You can find step-by-step instructions on how to properly care for combination skin here: Double cleansing: Cleanse your face twice a day, morning and night, to remove dirt, excess oil and makeup. Use an oil and water cleanser at night, gently massage into skin, then wash off.
Double cleansing helps skin control oil levels and remove any impurities that may clog pores and cause breakouts. If you choose cleaning products. Avoid using harsh alcohol-based cleansers, which can damage your skin.
