Combination skin can exhibit characteristics of which two skin types at the same time?

Combination skin indeed displays characteristics of both oily and dry skin types simultaneously. This means that certain areas of the face may have excess oil production, typically in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), while other areas, such as the cheeks, might be dry or even flaky. This duality requires tailored skincare strategies to effectively address the diverse needs of each area.

The oily zones are often prone to shine and may have larger pores, making them more susceptible to conditions like acne. On the other hand, the dry areas can be tight and may show signs of irritation or dullness. Understanding this combination allows practitioners to recommend products and treatments that balance oiliness while also providing hydration to the dryer parts, creating an overall healthier skin appearance.
