Combination type skin in most cases relates to facial skin that is divided into different conditions. Some of the areas of the face would usually be normal to dry, others may be oily most of the time or during certain times / seasons in the year.

The most common condition of combination skin is when the skin in general is dry but a certain area known as the “T ZONE” is oily at times mostly during the summer. I must add that in some cases the appearance and the disappearance of a “T ZONE” are directly influenced by the age of the skin.

What is a “T ZONE” and where is it on the face?

A “T ZONE” is a direct line across the forehead and down vertically from the centre of the forehead down to the nose bridge and the nose area, the area of the nose is usually affected as that is the area where the largest pores are.

A “T ZONE” is easily identified by the small red like marks which are a result of oiliness of the skin as well as accelerated sebum secretion.

The causes a “T ZONE” are many, they include among others, in the case of teenagers or adolescence, hot and humid working environment, hormonal changes, moving to reside in a different climate, genetics , specific types of food – degree of oils used in cooking and what type of oils. Certain types of medication as well as different types of illness may all be contributing factors to having a combination type skin.

Some of the geographical reasons are living by the coast and not in a dry area.

People that have combination type skin sometimes tend in the winter to have dry skin depending on other factors.
