What is combination skin?

Combination skin means having two or more skin types on one face.

In general, the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) produces more sebum and feels oily,

while the U-zone (cheeks, eye area) feels dry and tight.

Skin condition can change easily depending on seasonal changes or the environment.

For example, in summer the T-zone may become more oily,

and in winter the U-zone may become drier.

Because it is difficult to care for the entire face with just one method,

different care is needed for each area..!

It is a bit difficult, but there is still a way to manage it!

What causes combination skin?

Genetic factors are one of the most fundamental causes.

From birth, the distribution and activity of sebaceous glands differ by area of the face,

so some areas may secrete a lot of sebum,

while other areas may secrete less.

There are other reasons as well, and this is similar to the story of all skin types,

but for combination skin, where the distribution of sebaceous glands differs by area,

hereditary factors play a really large role!

Because of that, customized care may be inconvenient and difficult, but it has to be done.

Please tell me how to care for it! Iโ€™ll explain using the most common case: oily T-zone, dry U-zone!

Cleansing: Perform deep cleansing on the T-zone,

but use a gentle cleansing product with less irritation on the dry U-zone.

Moisturizing: Use a light gel-type hydrating product on the T-zone,

and a cream with excellent moisturizing power on the U-zone to replenish moisture and oil.

Exfoliation: Remove dead skin cells on the T-zone regularly to help sebum flow out,

but for the U-zone, use a low-irritation exfoliant

or adjust the frequency so it does not become dry.

Sun protection: Regardless of skin type, sunscreen is essential.

Use a low-sticky product and apply it carefully over the entire face.

However, it is more important to care for your skin after understanding your own skin type in detail!

Please be sure to consult a nearby dermatologist or specialist!

This is the 4th of 5 skin types! Now,,, weโ€™re almost there!

Then Iโ€™ll be back next time with a more useful and enjoyable post~! Itโ€™s gotten so hot lately, so I hope everyone has a healthy day!

Always be careful of UV rays, awake or asleep!
