Combination skin T-zone skin care steps cleansing pores exfoliation

Combination skin is very troublesome to care for because it secretes too much oil and it feels like walking around in a frying pan. How should you care for the T-zone of combination skin? What are the steps?

It is very troublesome to care for combination skin. The T-zone is always oily, and not just ordinary oil. I always feel like my whole head is an oily pan. How should I better care for the T-zone?

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly

Combination skin has excessive oil secretion in the T-zone. A large amount of oil accumulation can easily cause skin problems such as blackheads and enlarged pores. Therefore, deep cleansing is very important as the first step in skin care! Use a facial cleanser with a slightly stronger cleaning power, and clean the forehead and nose in circles from bottom to top. When the oil secretion in the T-zone is too strong, you can repeat the above method twice, and only need to clean the cheeks lightly.

2. Secondary cleaning to unclog pores

In addition to daily cleansing, we also need to do secondary cleansing of the T-zone to ensure that the pores are clean enough. After cleansing, choose a toner with cleansing and pore-tightening effects and apply it to the T-zone. It can deeply clean the stains in the T-zone to ensure that the pores are in an unobstructed state. This not only helps the absorption of nutrients in the next step of skin care, but also inhibits the growth of blackheads.

3. Exfoliate the T-zone

Combination skin also has the problem of excessive keratin metabolism in the T zone. The accumulation of old dead skin cells will not only clog the pores, but also be oxidized by the air and turn yellow, giving people a dirty feeling. Developing the habit of regular exfoliation can effectively alleviate this phenomenon and help improve combination skin. It is worth noting that the frequency of exfoliation should not be too high, 1-2 times a month is enough. When choosing exfoliating products, try to use mild products.

4. Apply a mud mask

Mud mask can be said to be the nemesis of oily skin. It can not only remove excessive deep oil, but also effectively regulate the secretion of oil glands, and can play a role in deep cleansing and anti-inflammatory. It has a good cleaning effect on acne and blackheads. Maintaining mud mask care 1-2 times a week can kill two birds with one stone. It should be noted that the time for applying the mud mask each time should not be too long, 10-15 minutes is best. If the cheeks are particularly dry, just apply the mud mask to the T zone.

5. Hydrate and moisturize

When there is excessive oil secretion in the T-zone, many girls will focus on oil control in their skin care, but they don’t know that oily skin is also a manifestation of dehydrated skin. When the skin is in a dehydrated state for a long time, if it is not replenished with water in time, the skin will self-regulate and secrete more oil to protect the skin. In other words, replenishing the skin with sufficient water is also an important means to promote the water and oil balance of the skin. In daily skin care, we can choose a hydrating lotion that can provide long-lasting moisturizing to keep the T-zone area permanently hydrated.

If you want your T-zone to be oil-free and look good, you can’t skip these steps.
