Your skin type is influenced by genetics. Genetics is one of the factors that has the greatest impact on your skin type. Hormones, stress, and environmental factors also affect your skin. In particular, seasonal changes in weather conditions and temperatures will also have an impact on your skin. Your skin will most often feel less oily in winter, and when summer arrives, your oily T-zone will begin to reappear.

It can be extra confusing to figure out how to treat and care for combination skin, as it's not just one skin type that needs attention. First, it's important to care for both skin types with a skincare routine that includes products addressing the needs of both.

While the next piece of advice might sound almost useless, it can be beneficial if you try to touch your face as little as possible. Bacteria are transferred from your hands to your face every time you touch it. Bacteria are a major contributing cause of clogged pores, so try to avoid self-inflicted bacterial contact.

It's important to use a mild cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural good oils or be too harsh and uncomfortable on dry areas of your skin. Therefore, you should use a cleanser that provides a clean face with gentle ingredients. We recommend our Cleansing Gel with Salicylic Acid, which gently exfoliates your skin, leaving it soft and even. Among our moisturizing products, we suggest our Hydrating Serum, which is based on an oil-free formulation, ensuring that your pores do not clog. Furthermore, a light cream with moisturizing properties is preferable as the final step in your skincare routine.
