Combination skin
Combination skin is two types on one face: an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) alongside normal or dry cheeks. It calls for a flexible routine that treats each area according to its needs.
Signs: Shiny T-zone, normal or dry cheeks, wider pores in the center, breakouts on the T-zone

Best ingredients for Combination skin
What to avoid
Avoid treating your whole face the same way; a strong oil-control product can dry out your cheeks, while a rich cream can make the T-zone shinier.
Care tips
Try multi-masking or zone care: lighter formulas on the forehead and nose, richer ones on the cheeks. A clay mask on the T-zone once a week balances things beautifully.
