What is combination skin?
Share
The skin, our largest organ, is unique to each individual. Some have dry skin, others have oily skin, and then there are those lucky ones with combination skin. If you are one of the lucky ones with combination skin, you know that maintaining a balance between dry and oily areas can be a challenge. We want to help you understand what combination skin is so you can put all your focus on tackling the challenges between your well-being and your skin.
Combination skin is a skin type that combines characteristics of both oily and dry skin. Dr. María José Maroto, a specialist in integrative aesthetic dermatology and member of Top Doctors, explains that " combination skin is the most common and combines areas of oil on the nose, forehead and chin, with normal or dry areas in the eye area and cheeks. Despite being a common skin type, it tends to be the most unknown in people who have it, who do not know how to treat the oily area or how to care for the normal dry skin area ."
As a result, combination skin can change over time and be influenced by external factors, making it even more unique and challenging to care for. Learning to balance these contrasting areas is essential to maintaining healthy, radiant skin.
