In my teens/early 20’s I thought I had oily skin, then later figured it was dry due to flaky patches and tight cheeks. I’ve continued treating it as combo/dry since but feel like im just not getting anywhere with it, i’m 34 now.
My forehead gets shiny throughout the day and I get the odd spot along my brows. My cheeks and nose are prone to redness, are very tight, dry and uncomfortable straight out the shower and are reactive to new products but I have quite visible pores and at the end of the day my cheeks can be shiny with the pores really visible . I have very dry, red patches around my nose and my chin is prone to texture, bumps, spots and blackheads.
I treat at combo/dry but im wondering if im combo/oily?! So confusing.
I’m planning on having a face mapping appt and facial at a Dermalogica salon soon to get to the root of whats going on.
Please tell me i’m not the only one!
