Combination Skin Type

Combination skin is the majority of skin types. Typically, combination skin will have an oily "T-zone" area, consisting of the forehead, nose and chin. Meanwhile, skin on the cheeks, eyes and mouth are either normal or dry. Combination skin will occasionally suffer from blackheads or a blemish, but does not usually have a problem with acne. This combo skin type requires special attention to each type of skin. Trying to kill two birds with one stone will not always work in this case! A gel or foaming cleanser works best for combo skin as it will cater to both conditions of the skin without causing irritation. However, separate moisturizers must be used to create harmony in the skin. This may seem inconvenient, but dealing with a breakout would be more of a hassle.
