For Combination Skin
If you’re slightly unsure, combination skin is a combination of multiple skin types, as a result you can experience both oily and dry patches. You may struggle with breakouts and dryness at the same time, including clogged pores and occasional mild acne. On top of this, your t-zone can be oily while your jawline and cheeks can feel dry. Our favourite products for combination skin are:
