Skincare for Combination Skin - Oily + Dry Skin Care
Oily T-Zones but dry cheeks?
Your makeup dissapears on T-Zones but cakes up and goes flaky on cheeks?
Combination Skin is the most common skin type, usually refer as Normal skin.
A possible solution is to use two different products;
- Use an oil-free mattifying moisturiser on oily area (fore head, nose and chin)
- Apply a hydrating cream on dry area (cheeks and sides of the face)
This is a great suggestion but I don’t think I will be asked to do this all the time.
If you want a quick solution for combination skin, have a look tips below:
Tip 1: Apply a lotion or gel type moisturiser.
A lotion (emulsion) or gel type of moisturiser is a most suitable for combination skin, as it does not over moisturise nor dries the skin.
Tip 2: Use a hydration serum as a daily skin care.
A hydration serum works deeper levels of the skin, and hydrates the skin without making it greasy.
It also makes the skin very soft and plumped.
Tip 3: Exfoliate the skin mainly around Oily Area.
If you are currently using a hydrating + gentle exfoliator, you can use it all over the face.
If you are using exfoliator for normal or oily skin, work on oily area and go very gentle on dry area of the face.
