Combination skin is neither dry nor oily, in fact it’s both – which is where things get complicated – you can’t use two different skincare routine, so you need to find the middle-ground and there’s not really a one-size-fits all solution. Typically combination skin has a mix of oily areas where you’ll see a lot of shine and clogged pores and dry patches where you’ll experience flaking and redness.
CLEANSER: PETER THOMAS ROTH WATER DRENCH CLEANSER
Cream cleansers are a great option for combination skin because they’re gentle enough not imbalance either skintype. This mild cream cleanser works for both the oily and dry parts of your face because it hydrates, calms, and heals dry skin while also clearing congestion and impurities from pores and controlling excess oil production.
TONER: GALLINEE PREBIOTIC FACE VINEGAR
With combination skin, you might notice your skin feels tight (or in some cases still oily) after cleansing. That’s where toner comes in – it helps to balance skin’s pH levels, wick away any traces of oil, and add hydration. This prebioitc formula does all of the above whilst also reducing the appearance of pores and calming inflammation, so it’s great if your skin is breakout-prone as well.
RETINOL SERUM: THE ORDINARY GRANACTIVE RETINOID
When you have combination skin, finding a serum that won’t sway your complexion to the extremes of oily or dry can be tricky. To play on the safe side, opt for a retinol based one – the ingredient plays well with both dry and oily skin, keeping dry patches at bay while helping to prevent clogged pores. When using a retinoid in the daytime, always follow up your retinol serum with SPF.
MOISTURISER WITH SPF: MARIO BADESCU ALOE MOISTURISER SPF15
When it comes to hydrating combination skin, the key is balance. Hydrating but not heavy, it’s easy to see why this non-greasy and nourishing day cream is a perfect pick. Its lightweight, non-clogging texture is ideal for those looking for fast hydration without the shiny finish, and it makes it a great base for makeup.
MAKEUP REMOVER: FORMULA 10.0.6 SO TOTALLY CLEAN MICELLAR
This extremely mild micellar water easily breaks up dirt, makeup, and excess oil, without ever causing dryness – as some makeup removers are prone to. The micelles act like tiny magnets to draw out pore-clogging impurities, leaving skin perfectly prepped for a second cleanse.
CLEANSER: ANTIPODES GRACE GENTLE CREAM CLEANSER & MAKEUP REMOVER
Another gentle but effective cream cleanser, this is great for removing any remaining traces of makeup and impurities, without stripping skin of its natural oils. Simply massage it into skin with your fingertips and rinse off with warm water. It won’t make your skin feel tight, dry, or greasy. Read More….
