Your T-Zone includes your forehead and nose. The region is called the T-zone because the bridge of your nose forms the base of the “T”. The part of your forehead above your eyebrows forms the top of the “T”.
If you have sensitive skin, your face will get red, itchy, or a rash could form after using certain facial products. Oily skin will start to feel greasy again as your day continues. If you’re noticing your skin doesn’t fall under any of these categories and you’re free of problem areas, you have normal skin which requires low maintenance! Congratulations! You can get pimples or acne at any age, especially if you have an oily skin type.
Combination skin occurs when you have more than one pore size on your face resulting in a combination of dry, oily and normal skin. [5] X Research source
Only use soap on the dirty parts of your body, like your armpits, your groin, under your breasts, and between your toes. Using soap all over can dry out and irritate your skin.

In this case, treat your problem areas with hydrocortisone ointment.
You can also use blotting paper to remove excess oil from your face. Press it against the oily area for about 15 seconds. This will absorb the oil and make your face appear less shiny. Don’t avoid moisturizer. Even oily skin needs to be moisturized, just use an oil-free moisturizer. Avoid using too many products at once to tackle oily skin. Drying out your skin too much can actually cause your skin to produce more oil to compensate.
