Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . One has to face many problems with combined skin . Because at some part of the skin there are enough sebaceous glands (oily producing ) for example nose forehead and chin and other part of body has less oil producing glands which makes skin a combined type of skin.

The cause of such kind of skin is usually genetic based but there are other causes also like use of skin products that doesn't suits your skin.

I would suggest you to apply natural products which are gel based like aloe vera gel or variant of vaseline containing aloe vera . Other method is use moisturizers on dry part of skin and gel and liquids on dry part of skin. Exfoliate your skin once a week .

You should consult dermatologist before using any prescribe skin product like lacticare and for proper examination of your skin condition , so that doctor can prescribe required products that suits your skin.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
