• Both dry and oily • Oily T-zone • Dry cheeks • Larger pores • Mild skin sensitivity If you have combination skin you can experience breakouts and dry patches at the same time. This is the most common skin type, and as the name implies it is simply a combination of different skin types. The most common characteristics for combination skin are a shiny T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) and normal/dryness on the cheeks. Finding the right skin care routine for a combination skin can be tricky. It is important to use different products for different parts of the face, as they have different needs. To maintain that delicate balance, pick hydrating products for the drier areas such as cheeks, and lightweight products with balancing properties for the oily T-zone. Use a gentle face cleanser and exfoliate several times a week.
