Have you ever been confused about why some parts of your skin are dry and some parts are oily? Yes, your skin can be like having a split personality and it’s actually called combination skin. No, you don’t need two sets of skin care products but there are some balancing tricks to making it all work. In this post you’ll finally see how easy it is to how to maintain a proper skin care routine when caring for combination skin.
What Is Combination Skin?
Combination is a skin type that is a “combination” of an oily t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and dry or very dry cheeks.
How to Figure Out If You Have Combination Skin
- After 30 minutes of cleansing your face, do you notice that parts of your face are oily while other parts feel tight?
- Do you have large and visible pores on your nose?
- After applying your moisturizer does your t-zone feel oily? Do your cheeks feel dry?
- Do you have dandruff?
If you answered yes to all of the above then you most likely have a combination skin.
What Causes Combination Skin?
There are a few factors that contribute to this skin type but it’s more than likely that you got it from mom and dad – it’s in your genes.
Another factor is that you might be using the wrong natural skin care products. Maybe you thought well, my skin is mostly oily in the center so I’ll just buy all natural products designed for oily skin or vice versa. I’ll buy products for dry skin even if my t-zone is oily. Unfortunately if you’ve been doing one or the other that’s most likely aggravating or over stimulating parts of your face.
