Which skin type is prone to T-zone imbalances?

  1. Combination

  2. Dry

  3. Normal

  4. Oily

The correct answer is: Combination

Combination skin type is prone to T-zone imbalances because this type of skin has a mix of both oily and dry areas. The T-zone, which includes the forehead, nose, and chin, tends to be oilier compared to the rest of the face. This imbalance can lead to issues such as enlarged pores, blackheads, and increased sebum production in the T-zone area. Dry skin is characterized by a lack of oil production, normal skin typically has a balanced T-zone, and oily skin type has an overproduction of oil throughout the face.
