THE BEAUTY GUIDE

SOLUTIONS FOR COMBINATION SKIN

Is the area on your T-zone extra shiny? Cheeks dry all day long? Overall complexion appear uneven? It’s hard to know the right products to use to combat these different conditions. Having combination skin is sometimes complicated to manage, but don’t panic, there are solutions to find balance for your skin.

WHAT IS COMBINATION SKIN?

Combination skin means that your skin has both oily and dry areas. Usually it is indicated by an excess of sebum (facial oil) on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and a lack of it on the cheeks. Combination skin can present some challenges when choosing the right products to use, as it can be easily irritated. It is sometimes mistakenly treated as oily skin, which can utilize products that are too harsh for some parts of the face.

THE CAUSES OF COMBINATION SKIN?

External stressors:
Stress, tobacco use, environmental pollution, and alcohol can all have an influence on the production of sebum in your T-zone.

A poor beauty routine:
Going back and forth between aggressive and gentle products – face oils, scrubs, layering of creams – all contribute to an imbalance in your complexion.

Diet:
A diet full of sugar, saturated fats, and processed foods can lead to an imbalance in oil production and dryness.

Hormonal changes:
The fluctuation of hormones can also contribute to combination skin.

REMEDIES FOR COMBINATION SKIN

PROPER NUTRITION

Drink 6-8 glasses (8oz each) of fresh water daily to nourish your skin and entire body.
Eat fresh and raw vegetables. They retain more of their nutritional value, which helps keep a radiant complexion.

DAILY HABITS

Don’t over-sun, even if you think sun exposure is helping to dry out oily skin, it can have the opposite effect and cause a delayed response with excess sebum.

CARE

Make your evening facial cleanse a thorough one, to remove daily products and make-up.
Massage in face oil and then moisturize with face cream.
Take time for a gentle exfoliation once or twice a week.
Avoid overly abrasive products, which will only further irritate your skin, and choose products with natural and organic ingredients.
