Combination Skin

What Is Combination Skin?

Combination skin is exactly what it sounds like—a mix of two or more skin types. Typically, the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) is oily, while the cheeks and outer face are dry or normal. The challenge is finding a routine that balances both without disrupting either.

Symptoms of Combination Skin

  • Oily T-zone with visible pores
  • Dry or flaky cheeks
  • Breakouts in oily areas, dryness elsewhere
  • Uneven skin texture or tone
  • Shiny and dull areas on the face at the same time

Causes of Combination Skin

  • Genetics (common to inherit mixed skin types)
  • Hormonal changes
  • Skincare products that are too harsh or too rich
  • Seasonal weather shifts

Risk Factors

  • Age: Younger people may produce more oil in the T-zone
  • Climate changes that confuse your skin
  • Over-washing or over-moisturizing certain areas
  • Using multiple products that don’t work well together

Why Facial Oils Are Good for Combination Skin?

Facial oils help balance your skin by hydrating the dry areas and signaling oily zones to slow down sebum production. With HotChi, you get oils that absorb fast, don’t clog pores, and support the skin barrier while soothing your mood with natural essential oils.

Targeted Care

Lightweight oils balance oily areas while deeply hydrating dry patches.

Regulate Sebum

Ingredients like grapeseed help control excess oil in the T-zone.

Hydrate and Nourish

Oils like macadamia and avocado lock in moisture for dry areas.

Enhance Radiance

Antioxidants promote a healthy, glowing complexion.

Benefits of Facial Oils for Combination Skin

  • Nourish dry patches without making oily areas worse
  • Balance sebum production
  • Reduce stress-related flare-ups
  • Smooth uneven texture
  • Provide all-day glow without heaviness
