Care Tips for Combination Skin Type

Combination skin is the majority of skin types. Typically, combination skin will have an oily “T-zone” area, consisting of the forehead, nose and chin. Meanwhile, skin on the cheeks, eyes and mouth are either normal or dry. Combination skin will occasionally suffer from blackheads or a blemish, but does not usually have a problem with acne. This combo skin type requires special attention to each type of skin. Trying to kill two birds with one stone will not always work in this case! A gel or foaming cleanser works best for combo skin as it will cater to both conditions of the skin without causing irritation. However, separate moisturizers must be used to create harmony in the skin. This may seem inconvenient, but dealing with a breakout would be more of a hassle.

Product recommendations for combination skin:

• Cleanser – Gel-based is best suited to accommodate the multiple conditions of combo skin.
• Toner – Alcohol-free with ylang-ylang extract.
• Exfoliant – Facial scrub every other day with weekly skin peel.
• Treatment Masque – Hydrating masque for entire face. Light moisturizing masque for dryer areas and clay-based masque for oilier areas.
• Moisturizer – Oil-free, lightweight facial lotion with added hydrating serum.
