Combination Skin
Combination skin is a special case – it is a combination of two types of skin, where some parts of the face are prone to dryness, while other areas are more prone to be oily and blemished. Here you will find tips, products and information about what kind of skin care is best suited to keep combination skin clean and beautiful.
Combination skin type is particularly pronounced over the T-zone on the forehead, nose and chin. The skin here is prone to excessive shininess, since this is the area with the highest density of sebaceous glands, which produce skin lipids. In addition to an oily film on the skin, it is in these areas where most blemishes occur. Unlike the T-zone, the cheeks and eye area tend to be dry. Redness and irritation may occur, and sometimes isolated spots in this area may appear flaky. Low humidity, caused by heaters, for example, encourages this dryness. On warm days, however, the oily areas are more apparent. You should therefore take into account the season when choosing the right skin care products for combination skin.
Combination and Oily T-Zone Skin Care
In addition to daily cleansing and care, there are other things you can do to ensure optimal care for combination skin. Every now and then you can apply a facial scrub that removes dead skin cells and deep-cleanses the skin. Special clear-up strips or a peel-off mask also rid the T-zone of impurities and refine the pores. Instead of heavy make up, you can use innovative BB creams that cover and moisturise, thus ensuring a flawless complexion. For removing makeup, a gentle cleansing lotion is recommended.
