Go through this page to know about combination skin care. It will help you take daily care as well as night care for combination skin and to maintain its oiliness and dryness.
If the skin is oily in some parts and dry in others, then you have a combination skin. The forehead, nose and chin, i.e., the T-zone may be greasy and the rest might be dry. Both the dry and the greasy areas need moisturizing. Special attention should be paid to the toning of the skin and a skin tonic should be used for this purpose. Remember that like the oily skin, the oily or the greased areas are prone to black heads and enlarged pores.
DAILY CARE FOR COMBINATION SKIN
Combination skin should be treated as two different skins and hence two different skin care routines should be followed. A balance should be maintained so as to reduce the oiliness of the oily regions and the dryness of the dry regions,
CLEANSING OF THE COMBINATION SKIN
With a rehydrant gel, the dry areas should be wiped first using moist cotton. Now with the help of a medicated soap, the oily areas should be washed properly. Now using a cotton pad, the skin should be toned with the help of a skin tonic. This cleansing routine must be followed twice a day, in the morning and at bedtime.
NIGHT CARE ROUTINE FOR THE COMBINATION SKIN
- The dry regions over the face and neck should be gently massaged with a nourishing cream. Leave for 20 minutes and then wipe off with the help of a moist cotton pad.
- Use an almond under-eye cream for the sensitive area around the eyes. Apply it for 10 minutes and then wipe off with the help of a moist cotton pad.
- Apply an anti-pimple cream on the eruptions in case there are any pimples or spots and leave it on.
COSMETIC AIDS FOR THE COMBINATION SKIN
- Use of a suitable sunscreen protects the skin from dehydration.
- A light liquid moisturizer should be used whenever the skin feels dry.
- A skin tonic with rose base should be used as a toner as it refreshes the skin.
