Creating a skincare routine for combination type of skin can be quite challenging. It's a constant struggle to not only pick the proper products to treat these specific skin concerns, but also to apply them strategically for the best effects.
What is a combination skin?
Combination skin is characterized by oiliness in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), but dryness in other areas of the face, such as the cheeks, eye area, and jawline.
Balancing the two can be difficult, as you're always on the search for solutions that will address two distinct skin demands, oiliness and dryness without aggravating one or the other.
Additionally, oily skin skin types are easily confused with combination skin types because both secrete extra oil in the T-zone. The following are some frequent indicators that might help you determine if you have combination skin or not:
- After cleansing, your T-zone seems shiny for a short time, but your cheekbones and jawline feels dry.
- Applying moisturizers can keep your cheeks and jaw area nourished, but they make your T-zone look oily.
- When you have breakouts and minor flaking, it's not uncommon for you to have to deal with both at the same time.
- You still deal with blackheads and whiteheads.
How to deal with this type of skin?
Now that we've proven that you do indeed have combination skin, it's time to look for products designed specifically for your skin type. With so many products on the market, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the various options and costs. The majority of these items are fairly pricey. Wishtrend is one of my favorite places to shop for skincare. They not only provide fantastic discounts on individual products, but they've also just curated four different boxes that address different skin issues.
I have breakouts on my chin lately however I personally feel that the #teamcombination box is perfect for me. As my cheeks are more dry and my t-zone is a bit more oily, owing to the ever-changing weather in the Philippines.

How to use this curated box?
Oily areas should be exfoliated (t-zones)
1) Apply a pea-sized amount of the facial scrub to the greasy regions of the face. To dissolve dead skin cells and sebum, gently massage thoroughly with lukewarm water. Using water, gently rinse.
2) Using wet fingertips, dispense a suitable amount of facial cleanser. Cleanse your face and lather the foam with circular strokes. Using warm water, rinse well.
3) Apply the exfoliating solution all over the skin with a cotton pad after cleansing. Tap lightly with your fingertips to allow it to absorb.
Hydrate in dry areas
1) After cleansing, apply a generous amount to the face and any dry areas. For 10 minutes to an hour, relax with the mask on (depending on your skin condition). Using warm water, gently rinse off.
2) After you've finished with the wash-off mask, apply toner and 2-3 drops of the hydra ampoule to your cheeks, chin, and forehead. Allow it to soak in completely.
3) Last but not least, hydrate the skin with the lotus cream.
