Combination skin: how to recognize it and how to care for it

The short answer: you have combination skin if the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) shines and gets greasy through the day, while the cheeks are normal or dry. The best care treats each zone by its own need, not the whole face the same way.

How to tell

Wash your face in the morning and put nothing on. After an hour or two, look: if the forehead and nose shine while the cheeks feel tight or dry, that is combination skin. The pores in the T-zone often look larger, and breakouts show up there more.

Zone	Usually	Care
T-zone (forehead, nose, chin)	Oily, open pores	Cleansing, oil control
Cheeks	Normal or dry	Richer hydration

The care that works

• A gentle cleanser that does not strip the skin; a harsh one triggers more oil.
• Light hydration everywhere, richer on the cheeks if they get dry.
• Gentle exfoliation once or twice a week for the T-zone.
• Sun protection every day, even in winter.

Which treatments help

A deep cleansing facial clears the T-zone without drying the cheeks, and a hydrafacial balances the skin with cleansing and hydration in one session. Biondina analyzes your skin and adapts the treatment by zone, rather than one recipe for everyone. How often it is worth coming you will find in how often to get a facial. To book, write to us.
