What Causes a Combination Skin Type

Combination skin type results from a variety of factors that lead to distinct characteristics in different facial areas. Some causes are as follows:

• Genetics: Family history and inherited traits play a huge role in your skin type.
• Sebaceous Gland Distribution: The distribution of oil-producing, sebaceous glands varies across the face, with higher concentrations in the T-zone and lower on the cheeks
• Hormonal Fluctuations:: Hormone changes such as menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and more can trigger excessive oil production, causing an oily T-zone, without affecting the other areas.
• Environmental Factors: Exposure to harsh humidity levels and pollutants can impact skin hydration, leading to a mix of oily and dry patches
• Improper Skincare: Using harsh products or incorrect skincare routines can disrupt the skin's natural balance, leading to a combination of skin traits
• Age: Young individuals might experience more oiliness, while ageing can lead to drier patches
• Stress: Mental, physical, and emotional stress can influence sebum production and contribute to combination skin
• Unhealthy diet: A diet that includes oily, junk and fast food can impact overall skin health and lead to a combination of skin

Understanding the causes of combination skin is the first step in catering to the unique needs of combination skin, promoting a healthier and more balanced complexion. Learn more about combination skincare products below.
