What causes combination skin?

Hormones

Hormones are one of the primary factors to consider when attempting to identify the cause of your combination skin. Why? Your body may be reacting to a high amount of testosterone production by perceiving it as too much oil. Additionally, the products you use may contain harsh ingredients that irritate your skin or dry out some areas of your face and trigger oil production in other sections, specifically the t-zone.

Genetics

You may also be valid in attributing your combination skin to your parents, as genetics play a role in oil production, or lack thereof. Each individual has varying sizes of sebaceous glands, which are responsible for producing sebum (the oily substance your body produces). If overactive sebaceous glands run in your family, combination skin is likely inevitable.

Environment

Combination skin is also exacerbated during certain times of the year. For example, you may experience oily skin in the summer and a dryer, more flaky complexion in the winter when the cold strips your skin of its natural oils and central heating, hot showers and baths can all dry your skin out.

How to Manage Combination Skin

Once you’ve identified your skin as the combination type, you can begin implementing a skincare routine to help you manage it. Some steps to take include:

Use a gentle cleanser day and night to remove dirt and grime
Apply a tonic to keep the acid mantle of the skin balanced or for times of the year when you need a bit more hydration a hydrating mist is fantastic to use. These two things can really help to balance your skin.
Use a chemical or enzyme exfoliator rather than a scrub helps to desquamate any unwanted skin cells. Leaving skin pores more refined and a brighter complexion
Apply moisturiser everywhere not just dry patches, maybe consider a fluid rather than a cream.
