With combination skin, you have two different skin types on your face.
The skin on your cheeks is usually much drier than on your nose, chin, and forehead. This is because your skin produces more sebum in these areas.
This gives you shiny skin on the T-zone and impurities such as pimples and enlarged pores.

How does combination skin develop?

Combination skin can have several causes. For example, you might be born with combination skin. Hormonal changes can also cause localized changes in the skin.
In addition, external factors can cause certain areas of the skin to become oilier or drier, such as the incorrect use of cosmetics. Irritating ingredients can stimulate sebum production in the T-zone while simultaneously causing dryness and irritation on other parts of your face. Sometimes, using an overly rich cream can clog your pores.

How to care for combination skin?

- Use a mild cleanser that does not dry out your skin or increase sebum production.
- Care for the different parts of your face differently. For example, it's best to use a richer cream on dry areas, and on oily areas, you can use only a serum or toner. This will help balance your skin.
- Cleanse combination skin both morning and evening with a balancing cleansing gel, followed by an alcohol-free toner and a balancing serum on the T-zone. Apply a richer day or night cream to the dry areas. Finish in the morning with a light SPF (for example, one based on non-nano zinc oxide).
