What type of skin is characterized by large pores and oily areas?

Dry skin
Oily skin
Combination skin
Sensitive skin

The correct answer is: Combination skin

Combination skin is characterized by both oily and dry areas on the face, with large pores often found in the oily zones, typically around the forehead, nose, and chin, commonly referred to as the T-zone. While oily skin has an overall sheen and is consistently oily, combination skin presents with a mix of both characteristics. This means a person with combination skin may experience oiliness in certain areas and dryness in others, making it important to tailor skincare routines accordingly. Recognizing this distinction helps in selecting appropriate products that address the unique needs of different skin types in one face, ensuring effective care that balances the oiliness and hydration levels appropriately.
