6 Common Ways to Tell If You Have Combination Skin

Do you find your skin feeling dry in some areas but oily in others? If so, you might have combination skin, a common skin type that requires special care. Understanding your skin is the first step in selecting the right products, like those offered by Stature’s line of pH-balanced body washes and lotions. Let’s explore the six common signs that indicate you have combination skin.

1. Oily T-zone and Dry Cheeks

Combination skin often displays an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) with dry or normal skin on the cheeks. If you notice that your T-zone gets shiny or greasy, but your cheeks feel tight or flaky, this is a classic sign.

2. Visible Pores in the T-zone

In combination skin, pores tend to be larger and more visible in the oily areas, particularly the nose and forehead, due to excess sebum production. Smaller, less noticeable pores are typical on the cheeks and other dry areas.

3. Occasional Breakouts in the T-zone

Combination skin is more prone to breakouts in the oily areas, while the drier parts may rarely experience acne. If you find yourself dealing with acne mainly in your T-zone, it’s a good indicator of combination skin.

4. Sensitive to Weather Changes

People with combination skin often experience fluctuations in their skin condition based on the weather. The oily areas can get greasier in warm, humid weather, while the dry patches can become more pronounced during colder months.

5. Makeup Doesn’t Stay Even

Combination skin often leads to challenges with makeup application. You might find that your foundation breaks down or becomes patchy in the T-zone, while it clings to dry spots on your cheeks.

6. Requires Different Products for Different Areas

Do you feel like certain skincare products work great for part of your face but not for others? With combination skin, you may need to use hydrating lotions for your dry areas and lightweight cleansers for your oily T-zone.
