How to Know You Have Combination Skin
Combination skin has both oily and dry areas. Here are the key signs to identify it.
Oily T-Zone
Your forehead, nose, and chin tend to be oily and shiny, especially by midday.
Dry Cheeks
Your cheeks and outer face feel dry, tight, or flaky, especially after cleansing.
Enlarged Pores
Pores are more visible in the T-zone area, while smaller on the cheeks.
Seasonal Changes
Your skin may become oilier in summer and drier in winter, requiring different care.
