How to Build a Skincare Routine for Your Skin Type

Skincare routine for Combination skin type

Combination skin has characteristics of both oily and dry skin.

You may notice more oil around your T-zone—the forehead, nose, and chin—while your cheeks feel normal or dry.

This can make choosing products slightly more challenging.

You don’t necessarily need completely different products for different parts of your face.

Instead, look for balanced formulas that provide hydration without feeling excessively heavy.

You can also adjust how much product you apply to different areas.

For example, you might apply a lighter layer of moisturizer to oilier areas and a little more to areas that feel dry.

Morning:

Cleanser → Lightweight serum → Moisturizer → Sunscreen

Evening:

Cleanser → Targeted treatment → Moisturizer
