What is Combination Skin?

Combination skin is a mix of two skin types — typically oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dry or normal on the cheeks and jawline. You may notice shine in the center of your face while the sides feel tight or flaky. This makes choosing the right skincare slightly more complicated.

Why Do You Have Combination Skin?

  • Genetics: A primary factor — it runs in families.
  • Hormones changes: Can trigger increased oil in the T-zone.
  • Environmental factors: Heat, humidity or seasonal changes affect your skin differently.
  • Incorrect skincare products: Using harsh or unbalanced products can worsen mixed skin behavior.
