Combination Skin:
If you have combination skin, you’re dealing with a mix of oily and dry areas, like a shiny T-zone and drier cheeks. It can feel tricky to manage, but don’t worry— I’ve got you covered with the best tips to balance things out and keep your skin glowing.
What You Might Notice About Combination Skin:
Oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin)
Dry or normal on your cheeks
Pores in the T-zone may appear larger
Breakouts in the T-zone, dryness in other areas
How to Care for your Combination Skin:
Use a Gentle, Dual-Purpose cleanser: You need a cleanser that can take care of both your dry and oily areas. A gentle, non-stripping cleanser will keep your skin balanced without making it too dry or too oily.
Moisturize According to Your Needs: I recommend using two moisturizers: one for the only T-zone (oil-free, lightweight) and one for the drier areas (richa and hydrating). This way, you’ll get the hydration you need without overdoing it.
Exfoliate with Care: Exfoliation helps keep your pores clear, especially in the T-zone. But be gentle on drier areas! Once or twice a week should be plenty.
Using Balancing Products: Looks for toners or serums that balance oil production while hydrating drier areas. This will help you keep that fresh, even glow all day long.
By focusing on healing and protecting your skin barrier, you can reduce irritation and keep your skin feeling calm and comfortable.
