Characteristic of combination skin is the occurrence of different skin types in one facial area. Oily, shiny skin areas with enlarged pores, as well as occasional blemishes and normal areas alternate. Since the sebaceous glands are unevenly distributed, the so-called T-zone is formed: forehead, nose, and chin.
WHAT IS COMBINATION SKIN?
Combination skin is defined by the presence of different skin types within one area of the face, particularly in the T-zone. This includes the forehead, nose, and chin, where sebaceous glands produce excessive sebum, while other areas of the skin, such as the cheeks, may be drier. This combination of oily, shiny areas with enlarged pores and dry patches characterizes combination skin. In this area, too much sebum is produced, which can sit on the skin, potentially clogging pores and leading to comedones or inflammation.
IS COMBINATION SKIN IMPURE SKIN?
Imperfect skin and blackheads are common features of combination skin, especially in the T-zone. Excessive sebum production in these areas can lead to clogged pores and inflammation. However, not all combination skin is necessarily impure. It is important to consider the skin's individual needs and choose appropriate skincare products to promote a balanced complexion. Overall, caring for combination skin is about balance. By using products specifically formulated to address the needs of this skin type, you can help promote a balanced and healthy-looking complexion. Combination skin care is often particularly light, mattifying, and focused on using specialized ingredients to improve the problematic areas of the T-zone. A pH-regulating facial lotion is a MUST to restore the acid mantle and prevent inflammation-causing bacteria.
TREATMENT OF IMPURITIES AND SHINE
Impure skin and blackheads are common companions of combination skin, especially in the T-zone.

Gentle cleansing products, such as DR.BELTER® Linie »A« Cleansing Gel, are specially formulated to minimize irritation and improve the condition of the skin.
