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:

  1. Oily T-zone: Your forehead, nose, and chin (the "T-zone") often get shiny or greasy.

  2. Dry or normal cheeks: While your T-zone is oily, your cheeks may feel dry, tight, or flaky.

  3. Enlarged pores: Especially around your nose and forehead, but not on your cheeks.

  4. Breakouts + dryness: You might get acne in your oily areas, but dryness or sensitivity elsewhere.

  5. Makeup doesn’t sit evenly: It slides off the T-zone but clings or cakes on drier areas.

🧪 Quick Test (after cleansing):

  1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.

  2. Wait 30 minutes—don’t apply any products.

  3. 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
