Gaining control of your combination skin can be a tough one at the best of times, the trick is identifying which parts of your face are
dry,
oily or balanced then assessing the severity of the
oily to
dry areas and proceeding with the appropriate skin care routine. If it sounds confronting, don't worry we're here to help! The skincare products we've listed below also contain ingredients to help fight aging (it's like a two for one deal!)

How Do I Know If I Have Combination Skin?
Usually with combination skin you'll find you have oily skin especially around your T-Zone (the centre of your face) but still have dry patches around your face. You need a routine that will remove the dead skin and excess oil, but not strip your skin completely. With combination skin if moisture is stripped completely all of your dry areas will get worse and sebum (oil) production will be triggered in the oily areas of your skin.
