The abundantly released fat creates a protective film that prevents moisture from evaporating and blocks the penetration of harmful substances. And another plus: with age, the condition of oily skin only improves and usually by the age of 30 it becomes a combination.

Combination Skin

Skin has an uneven distribution of fatty lubricants in different areas of the face, resulting in the presence of different types of skin in different facial zones. Most often, the “T” zone (nose, forehead and chin) is oily skin, while the rest of the skin is either normal or dry.

Over the years, the combined skin type, with proper care, can shift towards the normal type.
