As name indicates this skin type is the combination of oily and dry skins. In the T-zone (center of face) area the skin shows oily nature. Cheeks show dry or normal skin;s nature. This may show some variation according to age and mental conditions. So skin care routine or using products also should show a combination method.
Skin Care for combination skin
The skin care steps you take to treat a specific area should not affect the other areas. When you do cleansing it would not be suitable to select an oily skin type product or a dry skin care product. Here you can go for cleansing liquid or bar with moisturizer. Or go face wash with moisturizer. Then use a gentle face scrub to exfoliate the dead cells. This will reduce the formation of any spots. This will eradicate the formation of blackheads in a certain extent. But using a strip or blackhead remover may become necessary. Then the moisture you use should be with mattifying quality, that would not dry out the cheek area. Use only oil free creams or light moisture lotions at night.
Skin care routine for combination skin
You have to use a forming cleanser. This will help to remove the oils from T-zone without disturbing the dry skin areas.
Use any gentle or mild facial scrub. Focus on the oily areas and give only mild rub on the other areas.
Now you can give steam. Add a little rose water to the boiling water. Give steam for about 10 min.
Then face mask. If the T-zone is giving problem then use clay based face mask and apply it on that area only. Or if the dry areas are problematic use a hydrating moisture mask on that area. Or you can combine both the steps. After ten min. wash it of with tepid or warm water. Instead of using store bought mask try natural face packs in this site. (use search box to find s suitable face pack). Face packs with fresh rose flower is recommended.
Finally apply a light moisturizer. Take care to avoid strong rub on the oily areass while using scrubs. Take care of the skin condition individually, as the combination of oily and dry skins. Remember to moisturize the delicate areas like around the eyes.
Dry Skin Care
In this case the skin looks so tight, dull and gray. A dry skin occurs when the oil on the surface skin is less and when the water content is lost. The dry skin give a dull look and the skin may appear older that that you are. Wrinkles appears very early. Flaky outer layer give a ode look. It also increases the damage from UV rays. To make the skin hydrated it becomes necessary to keep the oil level normal.
While taking care of dry skin the primary importance should be given to avoid products that contain alcohol or soap. For cleansers select creamy or milky cleansers that suit a dry skin. Another main thing to take care is a systematic routine for dead cell removal. In a dry skin there may be more dead cells formed but renewal of new cells may be slow. So the outer flaky dead cells give a dull look. AHA cleanser can solve this problem. Using a natural and gentle scrub is advised to remove the dead cells periodically. Give more care to select a moisturizer that can hydrate skin efficiently. Water based or humectant based moisturizer can beat the situation. Use twice a day or more. Also take care of the environmental factors. Remember to drink water or fruit juices. Avoid acidic foods. Give more care during winter season.

Oily Skin Care
Oily skin care means doing something to reduce excess oil production. Not only that you have to keep the pores clean to avoid wrinkle forming. Oily skin will have pores with sebum on it. There will be a thin layer of oil on the outer surface that creates a shiny look. There are a lot of chances of forming open pores when the normal pores stretches out when it accumulates oil. This excess oil become exposed to air and get oxidized that results in the formation of blackheads. Latter when the dead cells stick in the oil it turns into whiteheads. This type of skin may causes acne also. The reasons for oily skin are hormonal, climatic, eating habit and poor skin care. If you are used to wash off face too frequently, the oil glands in inner layer may tend to produce more oil to counter act the oil loss.
Now you are clear that oily skin care does not mean to over wash or cleanse the skin. When you select cleansers for your oily skin, buy light forming cleanser. When you rub on the skin with this cleanser there are lot of chances of removing dead cells which can close pores. Skin with acne need a medicated cleanser. If you want to use toner, just use very light or diluted toner that will not irritate the skin. Then moisturizing. Yes you need to moisturize the skin. Your skin is having oil but not water. Use oil free moisturizer. Moisturizers with salicylic acid or witch hazel is better.
Weekly routine
Apply forming cleanser all over the face. Using s soft cotton flannel gently move on the face in circular motion. The cleanser breaks down the oil and the rubbing remove the dead cells if any.
Steam your face. After boiling water give few min. to go off the thick steam. Then keep your face over the bowl but keep a safe distance from the bowl. Put a towel over your head and stay there for 10 min.
Now it is the time for removing blackheads. Use a blackhead remover or some small tissue or cotton. Wrap the tissue around the fingers and rub around the blackheads. After removing blackheads apply a little tea tree oil.
Now you can go for a mask. Clay mask is a good choice to remove the excess oil and impurities. Or you can go for natural face masks like strawberry mask. (search for "strawberry" in this site). Do not allow the mask to get dry on the face, wash it off before that.
