COMBINED SKIN

Combined skin? Never know how to deal with it. We know it can be hard so we’ve got you covered.

Symptons of Combined

Combination skin is having an oily T zone and dry skin everywhere else. It can change depending on things such as the weather; meaning in the summer you will be oilier than in the winter. Your T Zone is the area running from your nose to across your forehead. This is prone to break outs as it’s oilier than the rest of your face. Most people say they have break outs around the nose while also having flaky skin.

Causes for Combined

GENETICS

If you have a family history of skin features like acne, freckles or dry combination skin, these can all be a part of your DNA which is passed down through generations. Meaning if your dad has oily skin and your mum has dehyrated skin you may end up with a combination, leading to having combination skin.

UNBALANCED SEBUM

While sebum protects the skin from the elements, it can overact in some areas like your T-zone, making your face look shiny in some areas and dry in others.

THE WRONG PRODUCTS

Harsh products can cause excess sebum, whereas richly hydrating products can make your face feel greasy. This is why it’s important to choose the best products for your skin type.
