What skin type may have larger pores primarily located in the t-zone?

Oily skin type
Combination skin type
Mature/aging skin type
Normal skin type

The correct answer is: Combination skin type

The combination skin type is characterized by having both oily and dry areas on the face, commonly presenting larger pores primarily in the t-zone, which includes the forehead, nose, and chin. This condition arises because the t-zone tends to produce more oil, leading to an enlarged appearance of pores in these areas. Meanwhile, other parts of the face, like the cheeks, may display dryness or normal skin characteristics, resulting in a mix of skin types. In contrast, an oily skin type often exhibits larger pores throughout the face, not just localized in the t-zone. Mature or aging skin typically has a more refined pore appearance due to decreased oil production and loss of skin elasticity. Normal skin is balanced and would not display prominent pore issues like those seen in combination skin.
