What is the most common skin type that exhibits both oily and dry areas?

Oily skin type
Combination skin type
Mature/aging skin type
Normal skin type

The correct answer is: Combination skin type

Combination skin type is characterized by having both oily and dry areas on the face. This skin type typically features an oily T-zone, which includes the forehead, nose, and chin, while other areas, such as the cheeks, may be dry or normal. This dual nature of combination skin makes it unique and often requires a balanced skincare regimen to address the varying needs of the different areas. In contrast, oily skin is predominantly greasy and shiny all over, and mature or aging skin tends to show dryness and signs of aging due to decreased oil production. Normal skin is generally balanced, not exhibiting extreme oiliness or dryness. Recognizing combination skin is essential for effective skincare, as it leads to the selection of products that can adequately care for both oily and dry zones without exacerbating either condition.
