More Information

Combination skin is a skin type that is characterized by both oily and dry areas on the face. Typically, the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) is oily, while the cheeks and other areas of the face may be dry or normal. Combination skin can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, and environmental factors.

Symptoms

  • Oily T-zone: The T-zone is typically oily, with visible pores and a tendency towards breakouts.

  • Dry or normal cheeks: The cheeks and other areas of the face may be dry or normal, with a tendency towards tightness or flaking.

  • Uneven texture: Combination skin can have an uneven texture, with both oily and dry areas on the same face.

Managing combination skin involves using skincare products that are specifically formulated for combination skin. This may include using a gentle cleanser, a lightweight moisturizer for the oily areas, and a heavier moisturizer for the dry areas. It's also important to use a targeted treatment for the oily areas and to avoid using heavy or oily products on the T-zone.

If you have persistent or severe symptoms of combination skin, it's best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
