Combination Skin
Are you feeling like numerous parts of your face are acting like polar opposites? One part of your face is continually oily, while the other part is drier than the Sahara? Then you may be struggling with what is commonly named combination skin.
What is Combination It?
A lot of people have dry skin, some have oily skin, and others skin are what we would term “normal”, as in their skin is neither exceedingly dry nor exceedingly oily. However, many people notice that their skin is a combination of both dry and oily skin, hence the name, combination skin. This has to do with the moisture or dryness of you skin. It only has to do with whether your skin dry in some locations and oily in others. Lots of people mistake this body type as a condition relating to how sensitive your skin is, but that’s not the case here. The two are two separate matters that really don’t have much effect on each other.
How Do You Know You’ve Got Combination It?
