Some people have skin that's dry all over while others have super-active sebaceous glands that make the entire face oily. For these people, the trick is finding skin care products right for their skin type and their personal skin conditions, such as acne or sensitivity.
Combination skin, on the other hand, offers both the challenges of oily skin AND dry skin as well as any other conditions, including the above-mentioned acne and/or sensitivity. There's no question, combination skin can be a challenge to deal with. Parts of the face are dry, while other parts are oily (usually the forehead, nose, and chin, also known as the 'T-Zone'). It can be confusing and difficult to balance the skin by ‘satisfying’ both the oily and dry parts of the face.
What's YOUR Skin Type?>
What can be even more challenging is when some parts of the face are very dry while other parts are very oily and slick. In some extreme cases, you may need to use different products on different parts of your face. Check out our suggested, basic regimens for combination skin that may help put an end to your frustrations.
