What does combination skin look like?

The mixed type of epidermis occurs in 80% of adolescents, 40% of people under 25 years of age, and 15% of men and women aged 25-35 years. Combination facial skin is when the cheeks, area around the eyes, neck and temples are normal or dry, and the forehead, nose and chin (T-zone) are oily. The phenomenon occurs due to increased testosterone synthesis. With age, hormone production improves, and mixed skin becomes normal. In order for this type of epidermis to look healthy, it is necessary to regularly and properly care for it.

Care for combination skin

The mixed type of epidermis requires a separate approach - different procedures and care products are provided for dry and oily areas. The care regimen depends on the season. Recommendations for all seasons:

1. Summer. During the hot season, skin requires care as for oily type: cleansing with gels with anti-inflammatory components, systematic use of masks and scrubs.
2. Winter. In cold weather, combination skin types become dry. Half an hour before going outside, you need to apply a moisturizer to the epidermis. Cleaning with scrubs is carried out once a week, or even less often.
3. Autumn, spring. At this time, special attention should be paid to the T-zone, which becomes oily. The problem area of ​​the face must be periodically blotted with special wipes. It is advisable to carry out a set of procedures aimed at reducing the greasiness of the T-zone.

Cleansing

Care for combination skin is carried out according to the following principle: eliminating excessive sebum production in the T-zone and moisturizing dehydrated areas. It is very important not to dry out your cheeks, neck, temples and at the same time not to clog the pores on your nose, forehead, or chin. Blackheads and pimples easily form on oily skin, so you need to regularly remove sebaceous secretions. You should have separate products for dry and oily epidermis at your disposal, or choose cosmetics suitable for the combined type.

Cleansers

To rinse your face, use water at room temperature. If you wash your face with too cold or hot water, the production of sebum will increase, and the epidermis will become even fatter. Avoid toilet soap - it dries out your cheeks, neck, area under the eyelids, and temples. Use gels or mousses to wash your face. The main requirement for them is non-comedogenic. The composition should not contain oils or other components that clog pores:

1. wheat germ oil, coconut, almond, peach oil;
2. lanolin;
3. butyl stearate;
4. oleic alcohol;
5. glyceryl diisostearate;
6. algae extract (seaweed extract);
7. carrageenan;
8. SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), SLES (sodium laureth sulfate).

It’s good if your cleansers contain herbal extracts and fruit acids. In the morning and evening, it is necessary to treat oily areas using a special brush. Apply the gel to it and gently massage the T-zone. On the bristles, the gel or mousse foams better and penetrates deeper into the pores. Popular means:

1. Foamingly Clean, Benefit. An excellent choice for dry and sensitive areas of the epidermis. The product has a light structure and contains components that retain moisture in the cells.
2. Pearl mousse Carita. A product with antibacterial action is intended for combination and oily epidermis. Regulates sebum production, shrinks pores, and has a slight exfoliation effect. Provides deep cleansing.
3. Foaming cream with cotton extract Doux Nettoyant Moussant, Clarins. The product is suitable for normal and combination skin. It also contains coconut extract, which softens, nourishes and brightens the face.
4. Planeta Organica cleansing phyto-gel for washing. Suitable for oily and combination skin. The composition includes organic oils, plant extracts, vitamins. Deeply cleanses, tightens pores, refreshes the face.

The main problem of mixed-type epidermis is low acidity (pH). To even out the indicator, apply fatty kefir or whey to your face in the morning and leave the product for 10 minutes. Wash with melt water or carbonated mineral water. Kefir can be replaced with a vinegar solution: pour 30 ml of table vinegar into 1.3 liters. Dampen a cotton pad with this liquid and wipe the T-zone. There is no need to wash your face afterwards.

Using tissues to wipe your face

After washing, do not rub your face with a towel, but gently pat it dry with a regular paper napkin. During the day, use matting wipes - small pieces of fabric or paper soaked in special solutions. With their help you will eliminate greasy shine and refresh your face. For a combination type of epidermis, choose wipes with chamomile and tea tree extracts - they disinfect the skin. Matting paper will come in handy during the hot season. It should be used as sebum forms.

The tasks of the toner are to remove remnants of makeup or cleanser, moisturize the epidermis, restore pH, and tighten pores. The desired components in the composition are panthenol, bisabol, herbal extracts. The best toners and lotions for combination skin:

Signs of mixed skin: oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dry on the cheeks. To be fair, in this case, different areas of the face need to be taken care of differently. To optimize your care, you will have to get out of it - that is, remember a few rules for caring for combination skin.

1. 1. Don't use soap
2. 2. Do not wash your face with hot water
3. 3. Use tonic
4. 4. Moisturize your skin well
5. 5. Mattify
6. 6. Exfoliate 1-2 times a week
7. 7. Try multimasking

1. Don't use soap

No skin type will be happy with soap, even the most fragrant. The alkaline base cleanses the face until it squeaks - in other words, it damages the protective hydrolipidic layer, causing dehydration.

What is the result? But nothing good. The skin in the T-zone begins to fight dryness by producing even more sebum, and dry areas become even drier. We have chosen for you products for delicate and at the same time high-quality cleansing.

Gel-foam “Basic care. Grape extract, Garnier, removes excess sebum, refreshes and moisturizes.

Ultra Facial Cleanser, Kiehl’s, Suitable for everyone, as it works gently, contains oils (apricot kernel, avocado) and squalane.

2. Do not wash your face with hot water

Hot water does what you're trying to get rid of: it increases oil where there is already excess oil, and it dries out areas that are already lacking moisture.

3. Use tonic

If you have managed without this product so far, we advise you to include it in your daily care. The main problem with mixed skin is the imbalance between oily areas and dry areas. And tonic is just the product that can bring them to a common denominator. How he does it?

Removes residual sebum and impurities.

Restores skin pH.

Soothes, softens, moisturizes.

Increases the skin's sensitivity to subsequent care.

Consider the following products.

Vitamin tonic “Basic care. Rose water" for sensitive skin, Garnier, gives a feeling of freshness and comfort.

Tonic “Endless Freshness” for normal and combination skin, L’Oréal Paris, Soothes and moisturizes combination skin thanks to rose and lotus extracts.

Thermal water La Roche-Posay can replace a toner, softening, soothing and protecting the skin.

4. Moisturize your skin well

This needs to be done both in winter and summer. Combination skin needs products with a light texture based on components with a moisturizing effect, such as:

aloe juice and extract.

They will cope with the task without the risk of clogging pores and thereby triggering the formation of acne on oily areas of the face.

Here are examples of such cosmetics.

Aqua-fluid “Genius of Hydration” for normal and combination skin, L’Oréal Paris, consists of water, hyaluronic acid and aloe juice, moisturizes the skin for 72 hours without causing greasy shine.

Botanical cream “Green tea”, Garnier, combines moisturizing with oil control, consists of 96% natural ingredients.

Day care cream for normal and combination skin Idéalia, Vichy, Gives skin radiance, tightens pores and protects.

5. Mattify

In the summer, when it's hot and humid, dry areas return to normal, but oily areas begin to shine with a vengeance. How to deal with this? There are several options.

Use mattifying cream

Typically, such products contain ingredients that absorb sebum. Most importantly, do not use medicinal formulas for problem skin! They are not intended for you and can dry out your skin.

Get mattifying powder

Preferably something compact that you can carry with you. Use it as a finishing touch to set your makeup and adjust it throughout the day. Mineral particles will absorb sebum and control greasy shine.

This is an excellent product that combines toning, protective and caring properties. And, importantly, it has a relatively light texture.

Moisturizing, mattifying, sebum-regulating emulsion Effaclar Mat, La Roche-Posay, Keeps the skin matte for a long time and prevents dehydration. The composition contains sebulise, which controls sebum production, and perlite, which reduces oily shine.

BB cream “Clean Skin Active”, Garnier, for oily and combination skin contains salicylic acid, prevents rashes.

Ultra-resistant face powder Infaillible, L’Oréal Paris, easily provides a matte effect and maintains it throughout the day.

6. Exfoliate 1-2 times a week

Regular exfoliation is what you need to care for combination skin. In both dry and oily areas, dead skin cells accumulate and need to be removed. As a result, the skin will become more uniform, smooth, clean and will better accept care. Just choose soft formulas - combination skin does not need harsh abrasives.

Pineapple and Papaya Facial Scrub, Kiehl’s, Gently removes dead cells using exotic fruit enzymes and apricot kernel powder.

Peeling mask “Double radiance”, Vichy, contains fruit acids and mineral particles for high-quality and at the same time delicate cell exfoliation and skin renewal.

7. Try multimasking

The owner of mixed skin probably came up with the idea of ​​using different masks on different parts of the face. It is obvious! An oily nose and forehead need to be deeply cleansed and mattified, and cheeks, even if they do not suffer from dehydration, need to be moisturized and nourished. Try, for example, this combination.

Mask “Magic of clay. Exfoliation and tightening of pores”, L’Oréal Paris, with three types of clay and algae extract cleanses and saturates with minerals.

Soothing mineral mask, Vichy, contains vitamin B3, glycerin and thermal water, helps restore the mineral and water balance of the skin.

There are 4 types of skin: normal, dry, oily and combination. Particular attention should be paid to combination skin types. Combination skin is the type that is the most capricious and also difficult to care for. Why? It combines two types of skin, and each of them requires a different approach, thorough cleansing and special attention.

So, mixed skin combines 2 types: oily and dry or oily and normal. The most oily areas on the face are the chin, forehead and nose, while the cheek area with combination skin always remains dry or normal.

With this type, the activity of the sebaceous glands increases. Therefore, such skin is prone to increased oiliness and the appearance of comedones, blackheads and pimples in the T-zone, and the cheeks are prone to dryness, since there is low activity of the sebaceous glands in this area. It turns out that each area of ​​the skin requires a special approach and attention. Products for the T-zone should be chosen that reduce excess oil, prevent the appearance of pimples, blackheads and blackheads, and relieve inflammation. Therefore, cosmetics for the cheek area should be selected taking into account its increased dryness. For the cheeks, it is necessary to use moisturizing and nourishing creams, foams, and lotions.

How do you know if a person has combination skin type? The type determination procedure can be done at home. Start by washing your face with soap. After 2-3 hours, you need to apply a paper napkin to your face for a few seconds.

In oily skin areas, the napkin will quickly absorb excess oil, while in normal or dry skin areas it will remain clean.

In winter, sensitive skin needs nourishment in the morning and hydration in the evening. Therefore, fatty and nourishing products should be applied in the morning, and moisturizers should be used in the evening after washing. A person protects his skin from harmful environmental factors in the morning, and in the evening from drying out due to the operation of heating devices.

This way, in the morning you protect your skin from excessive drying, and in the evening you saturate your skin with nutrients and vitamins.
