Combination skin type involves having more than one skin type, such as dry skin and oily skin, at the same time. It can vary from person to person but, normally, someone with combination type has drier skin in areas like their cheeks and oily skin in their T-zone, such as the nose, forehead, and chin. Combination skin type occurs from dryness due to lack of oil production and oiliness caused by excess oil in the skin. This combination of skin types leads to skin concerns such as blackheads, shiny skin and larger pores. This skin type can also fluctuate depending on the season and temperature, so it's best to apply a combination skin routine that can keep your skin balanced and free of problematic skin, such as a cleanser for combination skin and a moisturizer for combination skin.

The decrease in temperature and humidity in the winter can take a toll on your combinatin skin type. Skin dryness in the winter can be hard to manage if you're not using the right products specifically for your skin type.

Follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Wash your face with a gentle face wash for combination skin to maintain a balanced pH on your skin and to not strip away your skin's barrier.
Step 2: Apply a gentle toner for combination skin to ensure a balanced pH of the skin.
Step 3: Use a serum for combination skin and a hydrating moisturizer.
Step 4: Follow with a broad spectrum SPF on your face and neck.

If you have comcbination of dry and oily skin, you should avoid using harsh cleansers on your face that can trip your skin of its natural protective barriers. Although washing your face of all oils from your skin, this can actually lead to increasing oil production on your face and open up your pores. Use a cleanser and toner for combination skin that does not dry out the skin but rather increases moisture and maintains a balanced pH level.
