What Is Combination Skin? Master Your Combination Skin Routine
Combination skin is a type of skin that has different characteristics in different areas of your face – it’s a combination of different skin types all in one. It's like having two or even three skin types in one.
The best products for combination skin differ due to variations from person to person. But to give a better idea of what combination skin is, it's usually characterised by the following:
Oily T-zone
Your forehead, nose, and chin (known as the T-zone) tend to be oily and shiny, with larger pores prone to blackheads and breakouts. This is due to higher activity of sebaceous glands in these areas.
Dry Or Normal Cheeks
Your cheeks and jawline are often dry, flaky, or sensitive, lacking the sebum production of your T-zone. They might feel tight or uncomfortable, especially after cleansing.
Other Variations
Some people with combination skin might have oily cheeks instead of dry ones, while others might experience seasonal changes in oiliness and dryness.
Best Skincare For Combination Skin
Perfecting your combination skin care routine is about choosing products that seek to address your skin’s individua concerns. Products for combination skin include:
Targeted Cleansers And Toners
Use a gentle cleanser for your entire face, and follow up with a toner that balances your T-zone without drying out your cheeks.
Exfoliators
Use a gentle chemical exfoliant one-to-two times weekly to remove dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores in your T-zone. It’s important to avoid harsh scrubs that can irritate any dry areas.
Spot Treatments
Apply targeted treatments for blemishes in your oily areas as needed.
Moisturisers
Ensure to choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser for your T-zone and a richer moisturiser for your dry areas. Don’t be afraid to layer your products to address your skin’s specific needs.
Sunscreens
Your routine skincare for combination skin isn’t complete without this essential. Choose a non-comedogenic sunscreen that won’t clog your pores. Look for oil-free formulas that are at least SPF30+ to give your skin the daily protection that it needs.
