Features of combination skin
Combination skin means a combination of two types - oily (most often in the T-zone) and dry (but normal in the cheeks). The combined type is quite common, especially in adolescence (about 80%).
With this type of skin in the central part of the face (forehead, nose, chin), there is an increased secretion of sebum, enlarged pores, comedones (blackheads), small rashes (not always). She is normal on the cheeks. As a rule, after 30, the mixed type of skin changes, and most often to dry.
Combination skin care products have two main tasks - to moisturize and regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands.
Cleansing
Combination skin care starts with cleansing. Choose softgels and foams that are labeled accordingly. Wash your face with cool water - hot water expands pores and leads to increased sebum formation. Use periodically soft sponges to remove the gel in the T-zone - this will provide a light exfoliation effect. Clean the sponges with soap after each use and change them once a month. Remember: this is a personal hygiene product!
Look for a “non-comedogenic” label on combination skin cleansers to avoid clogging pores. Mineral oils, oleic alcohol, lanolin, butyl stearate, isostearate, myristate, peach seed oil should not be included in the composition. These are comedogenic components.
Toning
After washing, be sure to use a tonic of the same brand - it allows you to restore the acid-base balance.
Tonics for combination skin should not contain alcohol - it can dry out the skin in the cheek area and provoke hypersecretion of the sebaceous glands in the T-zone. It is ideal when the composition contains both anti-inflammatory and moisturizing components: bisabolol, panthenol, calendula extract, salicylic acid.
Cream selection
A cream for combination skin should not be too oily. Give preference to light textures that are quickly absorbed: fluids, gels, serums. Of the anti-inflammatory components, the composition may include: extract of sage, plantain, chamomile. Acceptable oils: sesame oil, macadamia oil, shea butter.
The ideal day cream is a mattifying agent. Nighttime may be a little fatter - combination skin needs to be well hydrated.
During warmer months, don't ignore the thermal water.
Peeling
Peeling can be used once a week to treat combination skin. Delicately removes dead cells, promotes the normalization of the sebaceous glands, and improves complexion. Attention! Dry skin areas need to be treated no more than a minute, and the forehead, chin, nose - about three. Peels are contraindicated in case of rosacea, rosacea and other inflammatory processes on the skin of the face.
