How to Properly Care for Combination Skin

Dream - Human skin has different types. The difference in skin types in someone will affect how to care for it. 

It is very important to know the type and condition of your skin before starting to care for it. Your skin may be dry, oily, or even combination. 

Combination skin is a type of skin that has two different types on one face. Usually, in combination skin, the T-zone tends to be oilier, while the other parts are dry. 

So, how do you properly care for combination skin?

• Use a Gentle Cleanser

The first step you need to do is to choose a gentle facial cleanser. This is to lift the dirt on your face and lift the oil in the T-zone, but at the same time, the other parts of your skin do not become drier. 

• Exfoliate 

If you have combination skin, exfoliating to remove dead skin cells on your face is very important to keep your skin healthy. You can try using chemical exfoliation, such as toners that contain AHA and BHA, to gently exfoliate your face.

• Moisturize Your Skin

No matter what type of skin you have, moisturizing your skin with a moisturizer is a must. You can use a moisturizer that is not too heavy on your combination skin. If the dry areas of your skin need more moisturizer, you can add a thicker moisturizer. 

• Use Sunscreen

Using sunscreen every day not only makes your skin healthier but also protects your skin from the long-term effects of sun exposure.

• Use a Double Mask

Using a double mask on one face may sound a bit strange, but it will actually have a good impact on your skin. On the dry areas of your face, you can apply a nourishing and moisturizing mask, while using a clay mask that can absorb excess oil on the T-zone to control oil.
