Caring Combination Skin

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.

The sunlight which may help to dry the greasy area may harm the dry area’s.
The skin care for the combination skin is a sum of both dry and oily care method.
Both areas need different treatment continually. If dry areas are treated as for oily skin, chances are that they may become excessively dry and result in wrinkles and lines and if greasy areas is treated as for dry skin, they will become over nourished and end up in open pores, spots and blemishes.
