T-Zone refers to the chin, nose and forehead, which abstractly form the letter "T" and are therefore called "T-Zone". In this area the activity of the sebaceous glands is particularly high. Therefore, these areas tend to have an increased tendency to shine and impurities. A T-zone is often referred to in connection with combination skin, in contrast to the cheek area which is rather dry.
