Combination Skin

What is a Combination Skin ?

This is as near to 'normal' as anyone skin type gets. Most of us, at some time or another, go through dry, sensitive and greasy stages, and sometimes even a combination of all three at once.

Combination skins have a T-wne that is generally oilier than other areas, with the cheeks suffering from intermittent dryness. Sadly, nobody has yet invented a product that can successfully deliver oil to certain areas while absorbing it from others, so the best wayto treat combination skin is to treat it in separate sections. Buying products for dry and oily skin may sound like a double outlay, but each product will last you twice as long, so think of it as an investment. Make-up choices are easier for combination skin, and really it is a question of a little of what you fancy does you good. Trial and error is the best method of both elimination and choice here, with no particular rules to go by.

The choice of cleansers is also greater for this skin type - either the wash-off or cream versions will do the job. Moisturize only the areas that need it, and do not forget that your skin is a living organism, and as such it changes. Summer and winter months call for different amounts of product, applied in different places.

Combination Skin Remedies and Tips

For washing your face you should use a cleansing milk at night or use a mild soap for washing or you can also use a rose based cream. You should use a mixture of curd and lime juice on your face and neck. Remove the excess lotion from the oily areas of the skin.
