Combination Skin Care Basics

Combination skin care is dealing with a skin type that generates both oily and dry skin.

The most distinguishing aspect of combination skin is the presence of an oily T-zone, basically comprising of the forehead, nose and chin.

Quite often the rest of the facial area has dry characteristics and sometimes can be sensitive, due to the affected oily areas.

To care for combination skin, the most important thing you need to do is to follow a regular cleansing regimen. The dry areas should be wiped with a light rehydrant gel, with a moist cotton wool. Meanwhile, a medicated soap should be applied on the oily areas and rinsed off with water. In the areas which are prone to blackheads, rub a mixture of beauty grains and skin tonic twice to three times a week.

If you have a combination skin, use a good night care regimen. This should basically include a light massage with a nourishing cream on the dry regions. To end, cleanse and massage neck and apply a gentle almond eye-cream for any dark under eye circles.

Combination skin still needs moisturizing. Many people feel as though they have too much ‘moisture’ on their skin, but do not neglect this important step. Caring for combination skin is not as difficult as some may think. A little bit of attention paid to problem areas is all that is required.
