What are the differences between combination and oily skin?

If you have combination skin, the skin on your cheeks and temples is soft and even. Your T-zone, on the other hand, is shiny and prone to imperfections, such as pimples or blackheads. The shine is therefore localized.

This is an intermediate skin type that combines all the advantages and disadvantages of oily and dry skin:

A nice skin texture in places, but some tightness after the shower for example.

Irregular and oily skin on the areas most exposed to external aggressions.

Oily skin is characterized by an overproduction of sebum (hyperseborrhea), giving the skin an oily and shiny appearance all over the face. A defense system that is often triggered by pollution or stress, and which ends up attracting numerous bacteria responsible for the appearance of pimples or dilated pores.

The skin texture is thicker and the pores are dilated, which gives the appearance of a dull complexion since the skin reflects light less well.
Blemishes such as blackheads and spots may occasionally appear.

Oily skin is therefore a fragile skin, which, despite popular belief, needs specific protection and regular moisturizing.
