Combination Skin

Combination skin is characterised by an uneven distribution of sebum production across the face. The T-zone, which includes the forehead, nose, and chin, is generally oily. On the other hand, the cheeks and the contours of the face are often drier or normal, requiring tailored care to balance these different areas.
FAQ about combination skin

Can we exfoliate combination skin? If so, how?

Yes, like any skin type, combination skin can be exfoliated using a gentle exfoliant, 1 to 2 times per week, focusing slightly on the T-zone and avoiding irritation of the dry areas.

Can we use vegetable oils on combination skin?

Yes, light and non-comedogenic oils, such as jojoba oil or hazelnut oil, can be used to balance a combination skin without clogging the pores.

How to prevent blemishes on combination skin?

To prevent blemishes on combination skin, it is recommended to adopt a balanced routine by cleansing your face with a gentle product, hydrating it daily, and regularly exfoliating your skin. If necessary, targeted anti-blemish treatments can be used on the T-zone.

Which ingredients should be prioritised in products for combination skin?

Balancing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid for hydration, niacinamide for sebum regulation, and aloe vera extract for soothing the skin are beneficial for combination skin types.
