Combination skin – is a combination of two different skin types, usually dry and oily. It is characterized by shiny skin in the T zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dry skin in other areas of the face, e.g. on the cheeks. This type of skin can be particularly difficult to care for because it requires a combination of different skin needs in different areas of the face and cosmetics that help control sebum production in the T-zone while moisturizing dry areas of the skin.
Here’s what your beauty routine should look like:
Make-up removal and skin cleansing
Use a gentle facial cleansing gel or foam that effectively removes impurities and excess sebum, but does not dry out the skin. Products with ingredients like salicylic acid, clay or aloe are ideal because they help regulate oiliness in the T-zone while being gentle on drier areas of the skin.
