If Goldilocks had a skincare routine, it had to be for combination skin. This is because this skin type is neither too oily nor too dry, but somewhere in between.
Unlike her "just right" bowl of oatmeal, however, combination skin can be a bit of a mystery. How to tackle dry spots without adding shine? Can you suck up the T-zone without exposing the cheeks?
Are there any solutions in the moisturizer world for the common mood swings of combination skin tones? We'll cover all of this and more below.
What is Combination Skin? Combination skin is one of five skin types, the others being dry, oily, balanced (sometimes called "normal") and sensitive. (Take a "blot" test to find out what your skin is like.) If you have combination skin, your genes tend to produce more oil in some areas than others.
Hormones, climate, and medications (such as contraception) can also cause these values to fluctuate. For example, you may notice dry cheeks but oily jawline. If this sounds familiar, you have a combination skin type.
How to Care for Combination Skin. The most important tip in caring for combination skin is placement. Apply thicker creams and balms to dry areas and sebum-absorbing clays to oily areas.
If that sounds too complicated, look for hybrid products like our Moisturizing Gel-Cream, which takes the best benefits of the 'dry' and 'oily' worlds and combines them into one skin-friendly combo formula.
Combination skin types can also benefit from multiple shades—also known as multiple shades. Apply a different mask to each area of the face. To balance skin, apply our purifying mask to areas you feel congested or oily, then fill those thirsty voids with our hydrating plumping mask.
Which ingredients are good for combination skin. Dryness and oiliness can make a skincare routine for combination skin difficult, but not impossible. It's all about choosing the right ingredients, which can help balance your skin's oil production to "normal" levels.
Here are some of our suggestions for combination skin: Hyaluronic Acid and/or Polyglutamic Acid. Every skin type needs moisture, even combination skin. When the skin is thirsty, it produces excess oil to compensate for the loss of moisture.
To prevent this, apply a light moisturizer like polyglutamic acid or hyaluronic acid (both found in our Hydrating Serum) to areas where skin feels dry. Nicotinamide.
This vitamin B3 derivative has many talents, such as: B, eliminate acne, prevent premature aging, lighten pigmentation; of course, it is also a must for combination skin.
Absorb excess oil and purify problem pores with our purifying serum's blend of Niacinamide and Willow Bark Extract.
Cloudberry Seed Oil. Most moisturizers are suitable for either dry or oily skin, but not both. On the other hand, cloudberry seed oil is a non-comedogenic ingredient that softens the skin without weighing it down.
That's why we recommend Daily Brightening Moisturizer (enriched with Cloudberry, Vitamin C and Carrot Root Extract) for combination skin types.
Lactic acid: This AHA is one of the few skincare ingredients that exfoliates and moisturizes the skin at the same time, so lactic acid is great for combination skin.
Use our overnight facial in your afternoon routine to reap the benefits of reducing dullness, refining pores and softening skin texture.
