You might have combination skin if you notice both oily and dry areas on your face at the same time. Here’s how to tell:
🔍 Signs You Have Combination Skin:
-
Oily T-zone: Your forehead, nose, and chin (the "T-zone") often get shiny or greasy.
-
Dry or normal cheeks: While your T-zone is oily, your cheeks may feel dry, tight, or flaky.
-
Enlarged pores: Especially around your nose and forehead, but not on your cheeks.
-
Breakouts + dryness: You might get acne in your oily areas, but dryness or sensitivity elsewhere.
-
Makeup doesn’t sit evenly: It slides off the T-zone but clings or cakes on drier areas.
🧪 Quick Test (after cleansing):
-
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
-
Wait 30 minutes—don’t apply any products.
-
Observe:
-
Is your T-zone shiny while your cheeks feel dry or tight? → Combination skin
-
Is your whole face oily? → Oily skin
-
Is your whole face dry or tight? → Dry skin
