Combination skin is probably the most widely misunderstood skin type. There is a lot of misinformation out there - and oddly, many products that truly cater to combination skin. Yet, combination skin is one of the most common skin types.
Combination skin can manifest in a few different ways - the classic is usually a t-zone (forehead, nose and chin) that can become oily throughout the day, while the rest of your face is normal or dehydrated. Combination skin is completely normal.
You also may or may not experience breakouts - they’re not inherently a part of combination skin though. If you do have them, how you treat them will depend on where they are on your skin.
Just like every other skin type, it’s important that your combination skin is properly protected and hydrated. The most basic routine will be a cleanser and moisturiser, with a face sunscreen for daytime. We recommend you add a serum too however, as it doesn’t add much time at all to your routine, and will mean that you’re treating your main skincare concerns.
Yes! The same advice that we would give to someone who is prone to oil all over, also applies to someone with combination skin. Your skin will produce oil when it feels dehydrated to try and protect itself. In fact, you can actually balance your oil levels over time by ensuring that your skin is adequately hydrated.
Skincare has come a long way in the last few decades - it’s now easier than ever to find a nice lightweight moisturiser that will provide the hydration your skin needs, without adding richness where your skin doesn’t need it.
There are a lot of great options for combination skin, no matter what price range you prefer to shop from.
You're looking for something lightweight, that wont make you shiny by the end of day, but will still prevent dehydration.
