Combination Skin Care Tips

Combination skin needs careful attention because it has a blend of oily and dry patches. The centre panel, or T-zone, across the forehead and down the nose and chin tends to be oilt and needs to be treated like oily skin. However, the other areas are prone to dryness and flakiness due to lack of moisture and need to be treated like dry skin.

Combination Skin Care Tips

Choose an oil-based eye makeup remover to clear away every trace of eye makeup from this delicate area, which is prone to dryness. Use a cotton bud to remove any stubborn traces. Splash with cool water afterwards to rinse away any excess oil.

Use a foaming facial wash in the morning to cleanse your skin. This will ensure the oily areas are clean and that te pores on your nose are kept clear.

In the evening, switch to a cream cleanser, to ensure the dry areas of your skin are kept clean and soothed on a daily basis. This will give you a balance between excess oiliness or sryness.

To freshen your skin, you need to use two different strengths of toners. Choose a stronger astringent for the oily areas, and a mild freshener for the drier ones.

Smooth moisturizer onto your entire skin, concentratingon the drier areas. Then blot-off any excess from the oily areas with a tissue.
