Caring For Combination
Skin
If your face is partly oily and partly dry, you’ve got combination skin
and there are several ways to
care for it so that you can keep
both types balanced and looking
good.
Use a mild cleanser on your
entire face up to twice a
day.
Use a good moisturizer on
the dry areas. -
Moisturizers work by either
increasing the penetration
of water into the skin or by
reducing the rate at which
water is evaporating from
the skin surface.
Look for products that
normalize your skin, such as
those that contain alpha
hydroxy acids - Alpha
hydroxy acids are derived
from fruit, milk and sugar
cane and have
anti-inflammatory
properties. When applied to
the skin they help remove
dead skin cells (exfoliate),
giving us a younger
appearance.
Use oil-absorbing makeup
on oily areas to control
shine.
Use a sunscreen, minimum
SPF 15
