Combination skin

Your skin type is: combination skin

Combination skin is typically characterized by some areas exhibiting dry skin symptoms, while others exhibit oily skin symptoms. The forehead, nose, and chin (known as the T-zone) are usually shiny and oily, and may even be blemished, while the cheeks are dry, dull, and flaky. The T-zone is often prone to seborrhea, or overproduction of sebum. On the cheeks and sometimes around the eyes, too little sebum is produced. Factors that can lead to combination skin include hormones, stress, diet, or the wrong skincare routine. In this case, you are responsible for the dry or oily areas. Overly harsh or aggressive skincare products can dry out certain areas of the face while simultaneously increasing oil production in other areas. Combination skin needs moisture, and it may be a good idea to use different products on different areas.
