It can be challenging to select the right moisturizer for combination skin because you are dealing with both dry and oily areas, typically an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and dry or normal cheeks.

How to Choose the Right Moisturizer for Combination Skin?
What I typically
look for is as follows,
1. Lightweight formula:
Something
very thick that clogs pores in greasy regions is not what you want.
2. Oil-free or non-comedogenic:
Helps keep
breakouts at a minimum, particularly on the nose and forehead.
3. Hydrating ingredients like
hyaluronic acid or glycerin:
Without
causing the rest of your face to become oily, these maintain the dry regions
nourished.
4. Gel or water-based textures:
These are my
favorites because they do not feel heavy on the skin and feel fresh.
Without shifting the scales too much in one side, a right moisturizer for combination skin balances moisture. I often use less on the greasy spots and a bit more on the drier ones.
