Combination Skin
Oily T-zone, dry cheeks: a zone-by-zone routine that answers both.
Characteristics
Shine and visible pores on the forehead, nose and chin, with normal or dry skin on the cheeks. One of the most common skin types.
Care goals
- Balanced sebum in the T-zone
- Hydrated cheeks
- Zone-specific care
- Overall balance
Suggested routine
1. Cleanser
A gentle foaming cleanser, such as Natinda Aloe Vera or Calming Cleansing Foam.
2. Toner
A hydrating toner all over; a BHA toner on the T-zone 2 to 3 times a week.
3. Serum
5% niacinamide all over. It helps with the look of pores and even tone.
4. Cream
By zone: a richer cream on the cheeks, a light gel cream on the T-zone.
5. Sunscreen
A light SPF, such as Beautyway UV Sun Cream.
