How to treat combination skin

If your face is partly oily and partly dry, you’ve got combination skin and there are several ways to care for it so that you can keep both types fair and looking good.

• Use a gentle cleanser on your entire face up to twice a day.


• Use a fine moisturizer on the dry areas. - Moisturizers work by either increasing the saturation of water into the skin or by reducing the rate at which water is evaporating from the skin surface.


• Look for skin care products that stabilize your skin, such as those that contain alpha hydroxy acids - Alpha hydroxy acids are derived from fruit, milk and sugar cane and have anti-inflammatory properties. When applied to the skin they get rid of dead skin cells (exfoliate), giving us a younger appearance.


• Use oil-absorbing makeup on oily region to control shine.


• Use a good sunscreen, minimum SPF 15

Try dermalogica skin care products for your skin which provides wide range of products for all skin types.
