Combination skin often has both oily and dry areas, so opt for oil-free or lightweight moisturizers that hydrate without clogging pores or feeling greasy.

2. Broad Spectrum Protection

Ensure the product offers broad spectrum SPF protection (UVA and UVB) with an SPF of at least SPF30 to shield your skin from sun damage.

3. Non-Comedogenic Ingredients

Look for non-comedogenic formulas that won’t block pores, helping to prevent breakouts in oil-prone zones while still moisturizing drier areas.

4. Matte or Semi-Matte Finish
