Combination skin, while presenting unique challenges, isn't inherently "good" or "bad." It simply means your skin has both oily and dry areas, often with an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and drier cheeks and other areas.
Managing combination skin requires a thoughtful approach:
- Targeted care: Using different products for oily and dry areas can help address specific needs.
- Gentle cleansing: Avoid harsh cleansers that strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness.
- Hydrating moisturizers: Choose oil-free, lightweight moisturizers for oily areas and richer creams for dry spots.
- Proper exfoliation: Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores, but avoid harsh scrubs.
While combination skin can be challenging, it's manageable with the right skincare routine.
