What are the signs you have combination skin?Updated a year ago
Learning what combination skin looks like isn’t easy since it can come across as a little oilier or drier depending on the season. Here are the key signs that’ll give you an idea as to whether you have combination skin or not.
- Your oil production is concentrated on specific parts of your face - especially the T-zone (i.e., forehead, nose, center of the cheeks, and chin).
- You have less visible oil production in the U-zone (jawline and sides of cheeks).
- Your pores vary in size in a way that correlates with areas of oiliness and dryness. In other words, your pores are larger and more visible in the T-zone when compared to the U-zone.
- You experience fluctuations in oil production from season to season, usually with oily skin in summer and dry skin in winter.
- You’re simply unsure of your skin type. You experience symptoms of both oiliness and dryness, and occasionally your skin just seems “normal”.
