Your Questions, Answered
Combination skin is characterised by a mix of oily and dry areas on your face, most commonly an oily T-zone alongside drier patches on your cheeks and jawline.
You might have combination skin if you notice shine developing in your T-zone, while your cheeks or jawline feel tight or dry. Another telltale sign is if makeup wears differently across your face, with some areas breaking down faster due to oiliness, while others may cling to dry patches.
If you have combination skin, it’s best to avoid overly harsh or stripping cleansers, as these can disrupt your skin’s natural balance. Similarly, applying heavy, rich creams over your whole face might overwhelm oilier areas. Instead, consider a more targeted approach by ‘zoning’ your skincare to address different needs across your face.
A helpful way to treat combination skin is to ‘zone’ your skincare, tailoring different products to different areas of your face. For example, you might apply an exfoliating toner only to your T-zone, use a lightweight hydrating serum across oilier areas, and a richer cream on drier cheeks.
