What is combination skin?

Combination skin is the most common skin type. It is characterized by having different skin types in different areas of the face. Most commonly an oily T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) and dryer cheeks.

How do we care for combination skin?

1. Keep your skincare routine simple. Layering too many products all over the face to address issues can disrupt the balance of your skin, making the problem worse.

2. Focus on treating different areas of your face. You will need to control excess oil on the oily areas and moisturize the dry areas. For example, you may need a spot treatment for breakouts on the forehead and a richer moisturizer for dry cheeks.

3. Apply toner. A well-formulated toner for combination skin can help nourish dry skin and minimize oiliness at the same time. It won’t make dry areas drier or the oily areas oilier.

4. Do not skip the moisturizer. Combination and Oily skin types often avoid moisturizers because of fear of producing more oil. Not moisturizing could actually be the cause of combination skin.

5. Take note of your makeup ingredients. Same as skincare, there can be ingredients in your makeup that aren’t compatible with combination skin. Try priming the dry areas with a hydrating moisturizer made for makeup application and a mattifying primer for the oily areas.
