Foundation Makeup: 12 Best Foundations For Combination Skin

Combination skin is a very mysterious concept that many of us deal with. It occurs when your skin types differ on your face. This can be caused by dry skin, wrinkles or breakouts that lead to oily, flakey or inflamed skin. It is most common on areas that are most prone to sweat, oil or any sort of breakage. This means your chin, nose, forehead or any spot that is in the “t-zone.” These parts of our face have more active oil glands than other parts. Some people also have dry skin and blemish-prone, inflamed skin. Sometimes these things are all genetics, so usually skin combination causes are all different for everyone.
Another common cause for combination skin can be the use of skin care products. Foundation is the perfect example, because not all makeups are appropriate for various skin types. Also, using a wide variety of products on your face is also a common cause for combination skin. Once you find the perfect products to use for your skin type, you will find that your combination skin becomes more balanced.
