How to take care of my type of skin.

Hi girls! I was hoping you could help me with skincare :) so in summer it tends to be a little shiny on the T-zone and dry around the nose and on the chin. In winter it's not shiny and a little bit more dry. I don't normally get breakouts, so overall my skin isn't that bad. I want to eliminate the shine in summer and take care of dryer areas :)
Maybe you could help me: what products should I use?
I live in Europe, so it would be great if you suggest something from The Body Shop or Garnier :)

Try the body shop seaweed line. It's for combo skin :)

@Alyx does it dry out the dry areas? haha that sounded weird.

Nope! I have really dry skin and I use it since seaweed helps with redness lol. But it's got oil controlling/mattifying moisturizers. So it moisturizes the dry spots more and is mattifying on the oily spots. I don't know how it works scientifically, but when my forehead gets naturally more oily in the summer it mattifies it but my super dry nose and cheek area are nice and moisturized. :)

There's even a set you could try, it's usually like 20-30$CAN or so. It comes with a cleanser, a toner, a day mattifying moisturizer and a night serum. It lasts a good month or two, so it's good for trying out products. :) the only thing is it doesn't come with the day moisturizer that has SPF, so you could buy it separately or just use your own SPF.

Your skin isn't dry it is dehydrated.. I recommend dermalogica's daily microfoliant to exfoliate then use the multi active toner which will hydrate your skin then apply a light moisturizer which is the active moist
