The combination skin is most prevalent. It is partly oily down the centre of the face with a greasy forehead, nose, and chin in a t-shaped pattern.
The rest of the face especially the cheeks, around the eyes and sometimes around the mouth and on the throat are usually dry to normal. This is due to the grouping of the glands and the difference in their acuity.
