Natural Skin Care for - Combination Skin

The skin care program for this skin is designed to help balance the separate areas of the skin with different characteristics. Almost every skin type has a slightly more oily "T" zone which includes the forehead, nose, and sometimes the chin. The cheeks and the area around the eyes are usually drier. So, unless the difference between these two areas is extreme, the skin does need to be treated as if it were two skins, needing two separate sets of products.

Combination skin Characteristics :

This type of skin is two or more distinctly different areas on the face.

Steps For Combination skin Care Program :

• Compressing :

  Warm compresses work well for combination skin. If areas are extreme, follow the guidelines given in this section.

• Cleansing :

  This skin should be cleansed twice a day- morning and evening - if the skin is mostly normal/dry, then cleans only once a day. If the degree of difference is slight then you should be able to use the same cleanser, it should be designed for the least oily area of the skin. It is better for your complexion to under-clean the oily part than to over-clean the drier part. If the degree of the difference is extreme, each area will need to be cleansed with a product designed for that type of skin.

• Toning :

  Use a same guideline for toners as the cleansers. Depending on the degree of the difference in the skin areas you may use the same toner or you can use the toner on the oilier part and not on the drier part.

• Moisturizing :

  A moisturizer should be used on the drier areas of combination skin, and use your discretion on the oily area. If the oily areas are dehydrated, use oil-free moisturizer.

Special treatments for Combination Skin :

For combination skin that is not extreme and has normal/dry characteristics, follow the special treatments for the dry skin. If it has normal/oily characteristics, refer to the normal skin section. If the areas are extreme, treat each area individually; follow separate guidelines for each area.
