How to control excess oil in combination skin without drying out other areas?
I know… It is often difficult to know how to take care of combination skin! After all, it is not easy to know how to control excess fat in the T zone of the face and not dry out the other areas. Therefore, pay attention! Because today I bring you the definitive guide to balance combination skin.
Not having balanced skin often takes more work than normal, right? Although, in truth, each skin type has specific needs and care . That's why it's so important to know what your skin type is ... (If you don't know yours yet, you can find out in our free Skin Test ).
However, combination skin can be even more complicated than the others, since it shares some characteristics of both normal-dry and oily faces . Do you also have the T zone of the face with much more sebum than the cheeks? Welcome to the combination skin club !
Thus, people with combination skin have excess sebum , shine and acne breakouts or blackheads in the T zone of the face ( forehead, nose and chin ), while the rest of the face ( cheeks ) tend to suffer from a significant loss of hydration , since it is usually more delicate and fine .
In this way, combination skin becomes one of the most difficult to care for, since each area needs specific products . Therefore, here is the definitive guide to care for combination skin without drying it out:
