Combination Skin Facial Care: The Benefits

Do you have dry or normal cheeks and an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), with a tendency for blemishes? There’s no doubt, you should know that you have combination skin. Teenagers from the age of 12 and adults can have unevenly distributed oil production, concentrated in the center of the face.

With an acne-prone tendency, it is essential to use skincare that is both anti-seborrheic to act as a blotter on the skin and moisturizing.

Fluid and moisturizing care to balance the epidermis
Cleansing is a key step for the hygiene of combination skin. It must be able to act deeply to unclog blackheads and blocked pores, and gently, to avoid triggering excess sebum production caused by external aggression. A cleansing gel helps purify the skin. With rebalancing properties, hazelnut oil is also recommended for removing makeup from combination skin.

A mattifying cream is essential for the face. With a dermo-regulating action, it will greatly help tighten enlarged pores and refine the skin texture. While ensuring hydration, it mattifies the skin and prepares it for long-lasting makeup.

Makeup adapted for combination skin

To cover up pimples, it is essential to choose makeup that is both covering and lightweight. If it’s too thick, it may look unnatural with a mask effect and highlight acne.

First, you need to correct the complexion with a perfecting product, such as a concealer. Applied with a brush, in dabs, it will hide redness and pimples. Choose it in a shade slightly lighter than your foundation.

Next, you can choose between a BB cream, a foundation, or even a tinted cream. The product should match your skin color, with a velvety and mattifying finish. You can choose it in a fluid version to apply with a round sponge or brush, or in a compact version with a thin rectangular sponge. Remember to clean your makeup tools well to avoid introducing bacteria to acne-prone skin.

Afterwards, finish your complexion with a mattifying powder. Loose powder leaves a light, transparent veil on the skin with a puff. Compact powder provides more coverage, with finesse, and is applied with a brush.

The finishing touch enhances the complexion, with contouring done using bronzing powder, in a reversed 3 shape with a brush. Depending on your preference, pink or coral blush gives a healthy glow and is applied to the cheekbones. Use a light hand with the highlighter, applying it in touches on the tops of the cheeks and the cupid’s bow, and skip the bridge of the nose and the center of the forehead to avoid adding extra shine.
