Combination Skin Care Products & Tips
Explore all your options for creating a custom skin care routine for combination skin that tames your T-zone and keeps your skin in perfect balance.
What is Combination Skin?
Combination skin is a skin type characterized as having uneven sebum distribution. In other words, some areas of the face tend to be oily while others feel dry. You'll typically find excess oil in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), while the U-zone (cheeks, jawline, and lower hairline) tends to be dry and tight.
Signs of Combination Skin
It’s relatively easy to tell if you have combination skin by how certain areas of your face react to your all-over skin care routine. For example, after applying moisturizer you notice that some parts look nicely hydrated while others frequently break out. Or after using toner, a few areas immediately dry out while others seem soothed and mattified.
