Combination skin can make makeup frustrating. Your foundation may separate on the forehead, nose, or chin, but cling to dry patches on the cheeks.

Layering skincare products for combination skin can feel confusing. Your T-zone may feel oily. Your cheeks may feel dry. Your nose may look shiny. Your mouth area may feel sensitive.

Combination skin can use a clay mask. But it should be used carefully. The most important rule is this: A clay mask may belong on the oily T-zone, but it does not always belong on the cheeks. Combination skin has different needs in different areas. The forehead, nose, and chin may feel oily, shiny, coated, […]
Combination skin can use masks. But the mask should match the zone. This is where many people go wrong. They apply one mask across the whole face because the T-zone feels oily.
