Characteristics of combination skin: Combination skin has the characteristics of both oily skin and dry skin. The main characteristics are: the T zone of the face, namely the forehead, nose, both sides of the nose, and the chin are oily, with more oil secretion, oil-water imbalance, and easy to breed acne and acne; the U zone, namely the cheeks, cheekbones, and outer corners of the eyes are dry, with less oil secretion, low water content in the stratum corneum, and the skin appears dry and prone to aging. Therefore, combination skin requires more careful care.

Oily and dry combination skin causes:

1. Congenital factors: Due to genetic reasons, many people have more active sebaceous glands in the T zone and less sebaceous glands in the cheeks.

2. Improper daily skin care: In daily life, insufficient hydration will cause an imbalance in the water and oil content of the skin, gradually turning it into combination skin.

3. Staying up late and being under great pressure: Staying up late and having great pressure in life can turn oily, normal or dry skin into combination skin, and can also turn combination skin into oily and dehydrated skin.

4. Seasonal changes: Seasonal changes will increase sebum secretion in the T zone and make the skin in the U zone drier, leading to the appearance of acne, spots and wrinkles.
