Combination skin occurs when your skin is both dry and oily in different areas of your face; you can find out your skin type through a skin analysis by a trusted esthetician or through a personalized test online. Combination skin is unique because most people only have oily or dry skin, this makes finding the right products and routine more difficult.
In the morning cleanse your face with a gentle foaming cleaner, then use a toner that's alcohol free and a serum that is lightweight. After the serum, use a water-based moisturizer and sunscreen (always). In the evening, the routine dynamic switches a bit: use a double cleanser, then apply targeted treatments like salicylic acid (if needed or prescribed for acne prone skin), hydrate your skin by using hyaluronic acid, and finally use a moisturizer that doesn't leave your skin feeling dry or patchy.
Of course this routine is generalized, so if it does not work for your specific skin, branch out and find the routine and/or products that best suit you.
Combination skin care focuses on a routine based on moisturizing, cleansing, and hydrating. Its is important to treat combination skin as its own, using products made for oily skin can cause build-up and using products for dry skin can cause dehydration. Protect your skin barrier by using products made for your skin.
