OILY AND COMBINATION SKIN: WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SKIN TYPES

Oily and combination skin is the result of sebum production varying in different areas of the face.

The term combination describes skin with a mixture of characteristics: it has some dry or normal areas as well as oily or greasy areas with impurities. .
Therefore, it has the characteristics of dry skin and oily skin at the same time:

- the cheeks, cheekbones and the area around the lips may be normal or slightly dry;
- the so-called T-zone, which encompasses the centre of the forehead, nose and chin, appears shiny and oily with an uneven skin texture.

Oily skin, on the other hand, appears oily and thick all over, featuring large pores and sometimes comedones (blackheads and/or whiteheads). If these imperfections are particularly acute, it may indicate a potential tendency towards acne.
