Peculiarities
As already noted, combination skin type is one of the most common skin types on earth. In people with this skin type, the sebaceous glands function more actively in the forehead, nose and chin. In these areas, the skin is considered oily. In other areas of the face, the skin may be dry or normal. Due to its uneven structure and heterogeneity in color, combination skin is difficult to care for and requires a special approach.
As a rule, combination skin is more common in young people. As you get older, your skin dries out.
Combination skin makes itself felt by a number of signs:
- premature wrinkles;
- acne on the chin, nose and forehead;
- enlarged pores;
- exfoliation of the skin in the cheeks and cheekbones.
There is no such person who would have the same skin type all his life.
Throughout life, the condition of the skin changes and most often these changes depend on physiological factors:
- heredity;
- hormonal imbalance in the body (adolescence, menstruation, pregnancy);
- poor nutrition;
- diseases of the internal system and gastrointestinal tract;
- nervous stress;
- inadequate skin care, use of low-quality cosmetics.
It is quite possible to determine your skin type at home. To do this, you need to blot your face with a dry cloth in different areas three hours after washing. Combination skin will leave an oily mark on the chin, forehead and nose, and when passed over the cheeks, the wipe will remain dry.
Pros and cons of the type
Ladies with “combi” on their faces should not despair. This type of leather, for all its “capriciousness,” also has some advantages.
Among them are:
- changeable structure, which makes it possible to correct the general condition of the integument (getting rid of dryness or fat);
- there is a high probability that by the age of 35 the layer will acquire a normal appearance and elasticity;
- For many women, it is fat that causes problems, not dryness (which is somewhat easier to get rid of);
- care requires special, but by no means rare and extremely expensive, products. To see this, just look in the stores.
On the other hand, there are also many disadvantages:
- the need for early (at the age of 20 years) initiation of procedures;
- constant care combined with frequent visits to a professional;
- periodic change of cosmetics, which is associated with rapid structural changes;
- in some cases it is difficult to combine foams and creams, masks and compresses (especially if there is damage);
- With aging, such skin withers and becomes rough. After turning 50, this is especially noticeable.
Now you know what makes mixed skin stand out and how to bring it to the “best standards”. We hope this information will be useful, and our readers will show maximum prudence in the battle for beauty. More positivity and freshness!
Accompanying illnesses
Combination skin itself is not a disease, but a physiological condition. But without proper care, the skin can become oily, and oily skin types are prone to skin inflammation and infections, such as acne, pimples and blackheads, comedones, cystic and fulminant acne. These problems are fraught with the fact that inflammatory processes will begin at the cellular level, treatment can be carried out over several years, and the result will be unpleasant memories in the form of scars and scars on the face.

Approaches to care
Care for combination skin depends on the time of year. In summer, the skin produces the maximum amount of sebaceous glands, so you need to care for your skin like oily skin. In winter, there is a risk of dry skin, so you need to carefully care for dry areas of the face.
Daily
With proper daily care, you can maintain combination skin in perfect order, and eventually bring it to normal condition. Every day, the skin needs cleansing, toning, moisturizing and nourishing.
During the treatment period, it is not recommended to use foundation, mattifying agents, or powder. These products clog skin pores and interfere with treatment. Or choose special cream-powders for combination skin.
Professional
Combination skin also needs deep cleansing once or twice a week. In cosmetology, this procedure is called peeling. At home, professional skin care can be carried out using special peeling creams or scrubs.
These products will effectively remove the stratum corneum of the skin, after which the skin will breathe better and absorb moisturizing and nutrients. You can read more about professional facial skin care in the salon here.

Composition of foundation
The main thing you should pay attention to when choosing decorative cosmetics is the content of comedogenic ingredients. Foundation for combination skin should not clog pores and cause acne. Dermatologists advise avoiding the following components in the product:
- talc;
- wax;
- vegetable oil;
- alcohol;
- parabens.
It is desirable that the foundation for combination skin contain the following components:
- vitamins, especially A, E and group B;
- extracts of medicinal plants;
- antioxidants;
- salicylic acid;
- allantoin.
Rules for caring for combination (mixed) skin types
The steps for caring for this skin type are the same as for other types. Each of them, as part of the care for combination skin, has its own nuances. Let's go through each stage and consider them.
Cleansing
- Mixed skin, like any other, is contraindicated in washing with hot water. It will dry out dry areas and increase sebum production in oily areas.
- You need to wash your face with cool water, which helps narrow the pores in oily areas.
- You need to cleanse your skin 2 times a day – morning and evening.
- It is better to choose soft gels or foam cleansers with a balanced pH level, designed for combination (mixed) or normal skin. People with problem skin often resort to aggressive cleansing products, but with combination skin this cannot be done, because... they will lead to irritation in dry areas and will only increase sebum production in oily areas. Therefore, for such skin it is also necessary to select delicate products.
- Products containing witch hazel are good for cleansing the T-zone.
High-quality cleansing
Cleansing is the most important aspect of skin care for any type. Gels and foams for washing without aggressive substances and alcohols are suitable for combined epithelium. They increase dryness, and with frequent use they provoke even greater sebum production (via a compensatory mechanism). You need to use products specifically designed for combination skin or use those designed for normal skin.
To remove makeup, use micellar water or a special gel containing active ingredients for effective but gentle cleansing. It is recommended to wash off cleansers with cool, but not cold or hot water, and in the T-zone it is better to use cotton pads, which will also give a light scrubbing effect. Herbal infusions can be used as a rinse:
- Linden blossom (1 tbsp per 2 cups).
- Chamomile flowers (1 tbsp per 200 ml) and aloe juice (3 tsp).
- Cornflower flowers (2 tbsp per 2 cups).
The plant material is poured with boiling water and infused for an hour. After filtering and cooling, the decoction is ready for use for washing or rinsing the skin of the face. In addition, some infusions used as compresses can relieve puffiness under the eyes.
Combination skin cannot do without scrubs, which are recommended to be used twice a week. When choosing ready-made products, you need to pay attention to the composition so that it does not contain coarse abrasive particles, alcohols and alkalis.
Good facial scrubs are easy to make at home:
- Crumb of black bread with sour milk, soda (2 tsp).
- Ground orange zest (1 tbsp) with yogurt (2 tbsp).
- Rice flour, vegetable oil, full-fat cottage cheese, granulated sugar (1 tbsp each).
The prepared mixtures are applied to a damp face, massaged with fingers for 2 - 3 minutes and washed off with warm water. The presented scrubs delicately cleanse oily areas, soften and moisturize dehydrated areas.
Regular use of cleansers - both ready-made and homemade - is the most important aspect of caring for combination skin.
Toning
- This procedure is designed to equalize the pH of the skin after washing. In addition, it removes any remaining cleanser and prepares the skin for further care.
- A toner for dry areas of skin should be thinner than a toner for oily areas.
- It is not recommended to use alcohol-containing tonics and lotions, because... they will dry out the skin and cause flaking in dry areas and increase the activity of the sebaceous glands in oily areas.
- When using a toner intended for combination skin, dry areas can be treated 2 times.
Hydration and nutrition
- It is better to choose day and night creams for different areas: for dry skin - a cream for dry skin, for oily skin - respectively, for oily skin.
- You can also use creams created specifically for combination skin. But perhaps the result will not be so noticeable.
- Creams for normal skin types are also suitable if the skin accepts them well and the cream has the desired effect.
- In winter, it is better to use richer nourishing creams. In summer, creams with a lighter texture would be an excellent solution.
Deep cleansing
- 1-2 times a week it is necessary to carry out a peeling or scrubbing procedure. The T-zone should be treated for at least three minutes, and dry and normal areas for no more than a minute.
- After this procedure, you should not go outside for at least an hour due to the fact that during the cleansing process the skin can receive a large number of microtraumas that can become infected in the open air.
- 1-2 times a month peeling or scrub can be replaced with steam baths. After this procedure, your face should be rinsed with cool water to tighten the pores. Then you should apply a nourishing cream, so steam baths are best done in the evening before bed.
Masks
Masks need to be done 1-2 times a week. They have a beneficial effect on the skin. Make it more elastic and elastic. You can use different masks for different areas or choose recipes for all types or for a mixed type.
You should choose masks depending on the needs of the skin at the current time. They can be cleansing, restorative, moisturizing, nourishing, etc.
Protection
- If there are areas of dry skin on your face, then in winter it is advisable to choose day creams with SPF filters.
- If there are no dry areas, but there are normal ones, then protection with special winter creams will be sufficient.
- Winter cream should be applied no later than 30 minutes before going outside.
- In summer, it is imperative to use sunscreen with SPF of at least 15.
Protection from external factors
To protect against the negative influence of external factors, as a rule, day cream is used. It is applied to the face in the summer immediately before going outside, and in the winter - an hour before. On sunny days, to protect against ultraviolet rays, it is necessary to use products containing SPF components (level 4 or 6). Serums with a set of biologically active substances will additionally increase the resistance of the epithelium.
Peeling
Removal of the dead layer of horn cells is also carried out with a scrub. The benefits of infrequent (1, maximum 2 times a week) procedures are obvious - in addition to more thorough cleansing, such manipulations slightly “knock down” sebum secretions.
The implementation algorithm is not fraught with any particular difficulties:
- The procedure should be started before bedtime (the skin should rest), or even better, after a bath, when the dermis is steamed and the pores are open.
- The cream is evenly applied to the chin, nose and forehead. It’s more difficult with cheeks: if you go too far with the thickness of the layer, you risk getting irritation.
- Areas of the T-zone are treated for 3-4 minutes, while dry lines are treated for no more than one. It is better to keep the facial muscles motionless.
- After the time has passed, carefully rinse off the cream with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a towel. You cannot zealously wipe or “scrape” it (microtraumas appear immediately after peeling). For the same reason, you should not go outside for the first 6-8 hours after the procedure.
Steam baths
The use is not so frequent - a couple of times a month is enough to “revive” the blood vessels. And pores open better under the influence of heat, losing annoying spots.
The only products you need are lemon and cranberries. Let's get started:
- Half a lemon is crushed together with the zest. The cranberries are wrinkled.
- Place this entire mass in a deep bowl or basin and immediately pour boiling water over it.
- The area of the eyelids, cheeks and temples is smeared with a thin layer of rich cream.
- Lean over the steam, covering your head with a towel (it should be thick). In 15 minutes of “inhalation” the dermis will be thoroughly softened.
Remember to be careful. If you feel a slight malaise or a “jump” in pressure, it is better to refuse the “bath”.
Compresses
A mandatory attribute of thorough facial care. They come in two types, and each of them deserves a separate description.
Cold compresses
for mixed skin, apply to porous or oily areas (which immediately respond by quickly tightening the pores).
The most popular recipe looks like this:
- 30 g of fresh dill and yarrow in the amount of 2 tbsp. l. thoroughly reduced.
- This is followed by 15 minutes of cooking (low heat).
- The broth is strained through cheesecloth and cooled.
- A napkin is moistened in the now cooled liquid and applied to the face for a short time (up to half a minute).
- All that remains is to rinse off the composition with water, preferably cool.
Regarding hot compresses
, then they are used before applying the mask. They are more versatile and suitable for all areas of the face.
The recipe and method of application are the same as in the case of “cold”. The only difference is in the raw materials - here we use rose hips (half a glass), diluted in 0.5 liters of water. For greater benefits, boil the collection for 20 minutes (the berries may be tough).
Important!
If the skin was damaged shortly before the start of treatment, the cosmetologist can send the patient to a hardware dermatoscopy session. It will give a more complete picture of the condition of the dermis.
Rules for applying makeup
There are certain features of applying decorative cosmetics to mixed skin. They relate to preliminary care, as well as the selection and use of makeup. Preparatory activities include washing with gel, wiping with toner and applying day cream.
The following rules follow:
- It is better to use a silicone primer; it is applied to areas with wide pores or the entire face (when long-lasting makeup is needed).
- The foundation is selected with light or medium coverage and is applied with a dampened sponge or brush.
- Powder is used only for the T-zone.
- Concealer is applied to the area around the eyes.
The design of eyes and lips can be done using any technique, but under the shadows you need to use a primer or combine concealer with powder. Removing makeup is another important aspect. To effectively cleanse your face of decorative cosmetics, it is better to use hydrophilic oil, and then wash your face with a gel suitable for combination skin.
Combination skin requires not only special care, but also compliance with a number of rules when applying and removing makeup.
One of the most common skin types is combination. This means that the epithelium simultaneously combines signs of increased oiliness and dryness, which are found in different parts of the face. To ensure proper care for such skin, there are special products - both store-bought and homemade - when choosing which it is better to rely on the advice of specialists.
Diet and lifestyle
No matter how much we take care of our skin from the outside, it is impossible to achieve maximum results without paying attention to our skin from the inside.
Below are some recommendations for lifestyle changes to improve the condition of your skin. You may have come across these tips more than once. But we cannot ignore them, because... Following these recommendations has a very noticeable effect.
- Be sure to drink at least 1.5-2 liters of clean water per day.
- Reduce your consumption of fried, fatty, sweet and salty foods, because... This all aggravates the problems of all areas of the skin.
- Try to eat a balanced diet. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Try to do sports, fitness, or just take time for walks in the fresh air.
Follow these simple skin care and lifestyle rules and your skin will glow with health and beauty!

Features of choosing a cream for mixed skin
For good skin condition, it requires not only constant care, but also properly selected cosmetics and cleansing products. For those with a combination face type, this is quite difficult. Many people believe that by choosing one product for oily or dry skin, they will improve the condition of two types of epidermis at once. But that's not true. That is why it is very important to choose the right care product for combination skin types.
What should be included in cosmetics for combination and problem types?
Science does not stand still, and the field of cosmetology has improved significantly over the past few years. Now, for combination skin, you don’t need to buy two different creams and smear separate areas. Cosmetologists and dermatologists were able to achieve the interaction of completely opposite components in one cream. Now, just one product can cope with different skin types: moisturize and dry.
Active ingredients in the cream:
- Glycerol. Softens and moisturizes the skin.
- Minerals and vitamins: A, B, C, E. Nourish and retain moisture in the epidermal cells for a long time.
- Natural oils. Promote rapid regeneration and have a moisturizing effect.
- Hyaluronic acid. Rejuvenates cells, restores firmness and elasticity to the skin.
- Plant extracts. Rejuvenate, maintain water balance, nourish.
- Panthenol. Protects from environmental influences, heals wounds, rejuvenates.
- Salicylic acid. Dries, mattifies, removes excess shine, treats pimples, acne, acne.
Before purchasing, you should pay attention to the date of manufacture. Do not use expired cream.
Recommendations from cosmetologists - how to choose the right one
Cosmetologists recommend that owners of a combination type take the choice of care products very seriously. This type of skin is highly sensitive. The cream should not contain fragrances, silicones, dyes, chemicals, petroleum products, etc.
Minerals and mineral oils are different substances. In the first case, the skin will be moisturized and healed. But mineral bases are petroleum products and are very harmful to the skin.
Selecting a product by season (with SPF for summer)
Not many people know, but improper care also includes the wrong texture of the product for the season. It plays a big role in the condition of the skin. Cosmetologists recommend using SPF cream with a non-greasy and light texture in the summer and warm seasons. It is quickly absorbed, and on hot days it copes well with excess oily shine and dry skin. In winter, it is better to choose a cream with a dense texture. It will protect against cold and frost, and also enrich the skin with vitamins and beneficial microelements.
Cosmetics for dry and dehydrated skin
Cosmetics for dehydrated, oily and combination skin will have lighter textures; this can be a moisturizing serum or light cream-gel, which contains hygroscopic agents that can attract and retain moisture. Do not be afraid of oils, especially in winter, since oily, dehydrated skin also needs nutrition. But most often, one cream is not enough to solve the problem; you need a powerful weapon in the battle against dehydration - intensive care. Masks are an intensive care product for dry and dehydrated skin. A moisturizing mask quickly replenishes the lack of moisture, nourishes and restores the skin. Properly selected care and timely moisturizing of the skin will help you maintain its youth for a long time.
Combination skin: the best products
Cream “Moisturizing Expert”, L'Oreal Paris (264 RUR)
Many people with combination skin often experience flaking on their face in winter and during the cold season. The protective functions of the epidermis during this period are significantly weakened. To restore a fresh and radiant appearance to the skin, experts from the L'Oreal Paris laboratory created the “Moisturizing Expert” range. The cream for normal and combination skin is designed to work in three directions: intensively nourish, retain moisture and refresh the complexion. The product contains vitamin B5, which stimulates metabolic processes in cells and ceramides, which are responsible for elasticity and hydration. You don't have to wait long to see results; clinical studies have proven that after 4 weeks, 78% of women's skin became fresher and softer to the touch.
Mattifying sorbet cream “Life-giving Moisturizing”, Garnier (RUB 196)
Water is a vital element for the functioning of our entire body. The skin, in particular, also needs to constantly maintain an optimal level of hydration. The basis of the mattifying sorbet cream from the “Vital Moisturizing” series from Garnier is mannose, a plant component that immediately affects three layers of the skin (horny layer, epidermis and dermis). In combination with glycerin, mannose promotes effective skin hydration. If you believe the promises of the creators of the cream, then after just a month of regular use, a stable supply of moisture in the epidermis is restored. The product for combination and oily skin also includes green tea extract, known for its antioxidant properties. The cream perfectly mattifies and evens out the tone, so it can be safely used as a base for makeup.
Day care cream Idealia, Vichy (RUB 1,595)
Work on the creation of any beauty product begins with global research. Specialists from the laboratory of the French brand Vichy decided to find out what criteria, according to girls, ideal skin should meet. It turned out that the majority of respondents identified three main parameters: microrelief, tone and wrinkles. Based on these data, the brand's scientists set themselves a difficult task - to find the most effective component that has an anti-aging effect and significantly improves the overall condition of the skin. After 5 years of selection of plant components and 12 clinical tests, they discovered a unique component - kombucha. It is also black tea extract, which is obtained through biotechnological fermentation. It contains a record amount of fruit acids, vitamins, probiotics and polyphenols - four components that are absolute leaders in cosmetology and dermatology. Probiotics increase the protective properties of the skin, vitamins participate in the decomposition of sugar and lipids, increase the energy potential of the cell and enhance tissue respiration, and polyphenols act as powerful antioxidants. And finally, the last ingredient - fruit acid (which is familiar to all peeling lovers) - dissolves intercellular connections and promotes exfoliation of epidermal cells. With such a “shock” composition, your skin has every chance of becoming ideal.
Moisturizing cream Hydrance Optimale Legere, Avene (RUB 1,400)
The main purpose of the Hydrance Optimale Legere cream from the Avene pharmacy brand is to combat excess shine in the T-zone and reliably mattify the skin. This effect is achieved due to sebum-absorbing particles that absorb excess sebum (sebum). The cream will not cope with very dry skin and flaking, but will prevent them due to the presence of moisturizing components and Avene branded thermal water. It has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Another obvious advantage is the presence of photoprotective ingredients (SPF 20); they protect the skin from aggressive sun rays that cause premature aging. The product can be used as a base for makeup: it is quickly absorbed, does not leave a greasy film and is “friendly” with foundations and powders.
Moisturizing day cream anti-stress Hydra Zen Neurocalm, Lancome (RUB 2,751)

The cream is based on cellular water of thermal plankton, containing 36 vital elements, a high level of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. And also a permanent component of the line - mannose, which is able to moisturize the deepest layers of the epidermis. The cream is quickly absorbed and does not leave a greasy sheen. What is especially important for those with mixed skin types, the product does not clog pores and gives the skin a pleasant matte finish.
Moisturizing gel-cream for face Hydra Beauty, Chanel (RUB 3,168)
All products of the French brand Chanel are famous for their rare and truly luxurious ingredients in their composition. The new Hydra Beauty line is no exception; its main components are camellia flower and blue ginger from the island of Madagascar. Camellia, by the way, was Coco Chanel’s favorite flower. It is a symbol of elegance and resilience and helps the skin restore and retain moisture. Blue ginger acts as a “guard”, protecting the required level of moisture from various stresses. Chanel skincare products are exactly the case when you can talk not only about their unique functions, but also about the aroma. A cream with sparkling fruity notes (white peach, watermelon), floral (jasmine, peony, cyclamen) and woody notes will not leave anyone indifferent.
Day cream “Matting and moisturizing”, Diademine (200 RUR)
For the specific needs of combination skin, the dermatological specialists at the Diademine laboratory have developed a day cream that simultaneously provides hydration and a mattifying effect for an even complexion without unwanted shine.

Day face cream “Balance”, NutraEffects, Avon (RUB 199)

The skin is smoother and looks healthier. Together with a special complex, the cream contains absorbent microspheres that eliminate shine in the T-zone. Your forehead, nose and chin will remain matte throughout the day, while the rest of your face will be reliably hydrated.

Dehydration of facial skin: causes and symptoms
Most often, dehydration is caused by a violation of the integrity of the hydrolipid mantle. It ceases to cope with its functions and cannot retain moisture in the skin. Several factors can provoke this.

Environment
This includes not only extreme weather conditions, but also excessively dry air in rooms with central heating and air conditioning. The skin is forced to compensate for the lack of moisture from the outside with its own water resources, which are quickly depleted.
Improper care
aggressive cleansing (especially often used in the case of oily and combination skin);
incorrectly selected cleansers and makeup removers;
cosmetics that do not match your skin type, season or circumstances.
All this weakens the hydrolipid barrier, and moisture begins to evaporate rapidly.

Dehydration of the body
Now remember how much water you drink during the day? Insufficient fluid intake leads to dehydration of the body in general and the skin in particular. The average norm is 1.5 liters (coffee, tea, compote and juice do not count).
Age-related changes
With age, the synthesis of its own hyaluronic acid and moisture is redistributed: the maximum amount is in the dermis, and the epidermis receives the remainder. This is associated with the feeling of tightness after cleansing with water. And this, by the way, is one of the first signs of aging.
