what is ‘combination’ skin? how could you describe it? ❤️
Hi, the clue to combination skin is how different parts of your face can behave 💛
It means some areas are oily while others are dry, which can be linked to genetics or the skincare products you're using.
For example, the middle of your face might look shiny while the outer areas feel flaky or cracked.
Your T-zone, which includes your forehead, nose and chin, may be oily, while areas such as your hairline have dry patches ✨
Hope this helps 💫
