T- Zone Skin

Skin is of different types, oily, dry, normal and combination. The combination type of skin is known as T-Zone skin, this zone runs across the forehead and lower down to the nose and chin. It forms the shape of a “T” hence it is called T-zone. The skin in this area is very oily as compared to the cheeks and neck which leads to the occurence of pimples in T-Zone. People with this kind of skin will often notice their cheeks drying up in winter but the nose, forehead and chin area remains oily.
