Recommended skin care products for combination skin

What is combination skin?

Combination skin has the characteristics of both oily skin and dry skin. The T zone of the face (forehead, nose, mouth, and jaw) is oily, while the rest of the face is dry. Combination skin is more common in people between the ages of 18 and 35. Most people in China have this type of skin. Nowadays, more and more people have combination skin. In addition to some people who are born with combination skin, some people develop combination skin due to stress. There are also people who used to have neutral skin or oily skin and will develop combination skin due to age, environment, etc.

Characteristics of combination skin

1. The forehead, nose and jaw are oily, prone to small acne, and have large pores, showing the characteristics of oily skin.

2. The cheeks have less sebum secretion, the skin is dry, the stratum corneum has low water content, it is dull, has poor elasticity, is prone to aging and wrinkles, and is sometimes accompanied by telangiectasia, which are mainly the characteristics of dry skin.

How to take care of it in daily life?

1. Maintain water and oil balance

Pay attention to daily skin care, replenish sufficient moisture, and maintain water and oil balance.

2. Cleansing

Choose a facial cleanser with strong cleansing power, focusing on cleaning the oily skin on the forehead, nose, around the mouth and under the jaw. Cleansing the cheeks can achieve a comprehensive cleansing effect. When cleansing your face, you can also use alternating hot and cold water to wash your face. You can use warm water to clean the T-zone, and then use cold water to clean the entire face.

3. Facial mask

Facial masks are also a very important part in the skin care process. They can cleanse the skin more deeply, remove waste, dust, residual cosmetics and sebum in the pores together with the mask, and improve the properties of the skin. It also tightens and stretches the skin, while increasing skin elasticity and eliminating fine wrinkles, thus having a beautifying and anti-aging effect. When choosing a facial mask, you should choose according to different situations. You can use a mask specifically for oily skin on your forehead, nose, around your mouth and jawline, and a mask specifically for dry skin on your cheeks.

4. Selection of skin care products

Skin care products should be changed according to the season and skin characteristics. In autumn and winter or when oil secretion is less, choose skin care products with stronger oil content; in spring and summer or when oil secretion is more, use skin care products with higher water content and lower oil content. You can also adopt a zone care method and use different skin care products according to the conditions of different parts of the face.

Makeup remover

Bobbi Brown Cleansing Oil

It is a makeup remover oil that is very suitable for oily and combination skin. It has a light texture, emulsifies quickly, has good cleaning power, and does not make the eyes blurry. The only drawback is that it is a bit expensive. I would like to remind all of you with combination to oily skin that after removing makeup, you must also pay attention to the subsequent cleansing. Proper cleansing is the basis for avoiding acne.

The price is also affordable, and I personally feel it is better than SKII's cleansing oil.
