WHAT NATURAL COSMETICS TO CHOOSE FOR COMBINATION SKIN

DIFFICULT COMBINATION SKIN

Combination skin is a very difficult type of skin to care for, which combines two problems - part of the face should be cared for like oily skin, and the rest in a completely different way. This second part of the skin is a dry feature and will be such parts of the face as the cheeks and temples, sometimes even the chin. The oily part is the T-zone, i.e. the forehead, nose and chin. The most common owners of such skin are people in their twenties, who struggled with oily skin in their youth. However, it can also be caused by a disruption of the hydrolipid balance of the skin due to improper facial care.

Combination skin requires special care – different parts of the face are cared for in different ways. Those parts of the face that are oily should be normalized, while the rest should be moisturized, regenerated and protected.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE DRY AREAS OF COMBINATION SKIN?

It is best to wash your face with tap water. Where your skin feels unpleasantly tight, taut, flaky and slightly burning, that is where you have dry skin. Usually, it is the cheeks, temples and sometimes the jaw.

Often, this mixed skin also requires mixed care, and therefore the use of two different types of cosmetics - for dry and oily skin. It is definitely necessary to apply moisturizing cosmetics to both parts. It is most convenient to use cosmetics that will be dedicated to combination skin, so that there is no need to use two types of products. Such cosmetics should simultaneously normalize and regulate sebum secretion (thus mattifying the skin) and reduce the dryness of the dry parts of the face.

WHAT TO CHOOSE FOR COMBINATION SKIN?

  1. This type of skin requires hydration in every area, so the face cream should be light, non-greasy and moisturize well.
  2. An important element of care for combination skin is peeling – it is best to choose enzymatic or fine-grained. Exfoliation of dead skin is especially important in the T-zone. It is also good to choose a moisturizing and normalizing mask, which we apply after applying the peeling.

You can also make the scrub yourself in a very simple way. Here is the recipe:

Milk Powder Facial Peeling:

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons of powdered milk (skimmed)
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Preparation method: mix both ingredients together and then apply the prepared peeling to a slightly damp face. Massage your face with gentle and circular movements for about 2 minutes, then wash off with lukewarm water.

Important! Milk powder and honey may cause allergies! We recommend testing on a piece of your face!

  1. Cleanse your skin with a mild product, preferably in the form of a foam or gel. Such a product cannot disturb the skin's hydrolipid barrier, irritate it or dry it out. Look for cosmetics with delicate cleansing substances, preferably those with mild cleansing ingredients that are safe for the skin and additionally nourish it. Look for natural cosmetics that have carefully selected ingredients to thoroughly care for beautiful skin in a way that does not destroy it.
  2. After removing your makeup and washing your face, remember to always use a toner! It restores the proper pH of our skin and allows for the precise absorption of all the ingredients from the cream into our skin. After toning your skin, immediately pat the cream into it.
  3. When it comes to makeup, it is best to choose lighter, medium-coverage formulas for the entire face, and apply a covering mineral powder to the T-zone. A foundation with the consistency of a thick mousse is not suitable for combination skin.

WHAT MISTAKES DO WE MAKE WHEN CARE FOR COMBINATION SKIN?

Combination skin is not only difficult to identify and care for, but it is also hard to forgive care mistakes. What mistakes do we make most often?

  • the given cosmetics are applied to the wrong parts of the face – you need to take care of dry parts and oily parts of the skin accordingly. If we do not follow this, we will not improve the condition of our skin, but only worsen it,
  • you should not use cosmetics only for oily skin, because they will dry out the dry parts of your skin too much and it may start to flake,
  • when we use too many mattifying and degreasing cosmetics, the skin will start to defend itself and will produce even more sebum. As a result, it will shine more,
  • such skin absolutely cannot be treated with tonic and alcohol! Choose natural cosmetics that will not disturb the lipid balance of the skin!
  • You should not wash your face with soap and water, because the dry parts of your skin will become very tight, flaky and burn unpleasantly.

WHICH INGREDIENTS OF NATURAL COSMETICS ARE SUITABLE FOR COMBINATION SKIN?

  • Ginger
  • Lemongrass
  • Neem
  • Turmeric

In the Orientana brand offer you will find a whole series of natural cosmetics with Ginger and Lemongrass. There is a facial tonic without alcohol, which will restore the proper pH of your skin. You can also use it during the day as a refreshing mist for your complexion. This is facilitated by the applicator, which sprays the right amount of the cosmetic on the skin. Once a week, apply a cleansing clay mask with a composition of these ingredients to your face. Clay masks contain a huge amount of minerals, an amount that no other cosmetic has. And they are very useful for our skin! Clay masks strongly cleanse, helping to remove skin imperfections, tighten pores, have antibacterial effects and improve the appearance of the skin by brightening. Ginger has antibacterial and antiseborrheic effects.

HOW TO SAFELY REMOVE MAKE-UP FROM COMBINATION SKIN AND WHICH CREAM TO CHOOSE FOR DAILY CARE?

Remember to cleanse your skin properly. Choose the Nourishing Neem Bio Makeup Remover Oil! It is very friendly to facial skin because it does not damage its hydrolipid barrier. It dissolves impurities perfectly, according to the principle that fats dissolve other fats best. It is suitable for all skin types: combination skin too! – such skin will no longer produce too much sebum to defend itself! After thoroughly removing your makeup with oil, wash your face with the Moisturizing Bio Face Wash Foam, which will not damage the skin's hydrolipid barrier, supports skin microcirculation, and thus improves the resistance of the epidermal layers to the adverse effects of external factors.

For such skin, it is definitely necessary to mattify the shiny T-zone, reduce pores around the nose and strongly moisturize the remaining parts of the face. From the Orientana offer, you can choose the Mulberry and Licorice Cream, with a light consistency based on sunflower oil with the addition of extracts from plants such as mulberry and liquorice. Licorice root oil soothes irritations, has a soothing, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect.

WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF COMBINATION SKIN AND HOW TO RECOGNIZE IT?

  • pores are visible in the T zone (on the nose, forehead, cheeks),
  • the skin is oily, produces too much sebum in the T-zone, and is rough and dry in other areas of the face,

Such skin can be dry and flaky at one moment and also struggle with imperfections and shine in some places.

Combination skin often has imperfections (pimples or blackheads) that are most often visible in the T-zone. They are difficult to deal with because drying cosmetics with salicylic acid, zinc or sulfur can cause visible irritation, burning and tightness in the dry part of the face.

WHICH ORIENTANA NATURAL COSMETICS SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR COMBINATION SKIN?

Orientana has products in its range that allow you to take comprehensive care of your skin. First of all, the most important thing is to thoroughly cleanse the skin. It is worth trying the Nourishing Neem Bio Makeup Remover Oil. The oil is based on Indian neem, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Then wash your skin thoroughly with the Moisturizing Bio Face Wash Foam Japanese Gurdlina. Using Orientana Bio Foam you can be sure that it will not disturb the skin's hydrolipid barrier and will support skin microcirculation. Once we have cleansed our skin properly, safely and naturally, we should take care of its proper toning. Here you will need the Ginger and Lemongrass Facial Toner, which does not contain alcohol, will maintain the microbiological balance of the epidermis, refresh and regenerate the complexion, and will additionally have anti-inflammatory and soothing effects on irritation. When it comes to cream, we recommend the Natural Cream with Snail Slime, which has a strongly regenerating effect, makes the skin more elastic and corrects imperfections. An alternative to the cream can be applying a face oil or bio serum. Sandalwood and Turmeric Face Oil will take care of your complexion very well - it will quickly moisturize and nourish dry areas, and additionally calm down skin imperfections and changes on it. It will give gray, tired skin a glow. And we can also use the Neem and Tulsi Bio Face Serum under the cream. The serum penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, has a strongly concentrated composition, which is composed in such a way as to regulate sebum secretion, as well as nourish and hydrate the skin well. In particular, dry areas of the skin. Its light formula makes the serum absorb immediately. In case of combination skin, do not forget about regular exfoliation, at least once a week. Orientana offers a Gel Peeling with Philippine Algae and Green Tea dedicated specifically to combination skin. Thanks to the content of natural exfoliating particles such as apricot kernels and nut shells, the peeling perfectly exfoliates the epidermis, and at the same time the content of plant extracts nourishes the skin. They will protect against inflammation, regulate the functioning of sebaceous glands, refresh the skin, regenerate the skin and stimulate its protective mechanisms. Orientana also has a wide range of masks that are helpful in the care of this type of skin. The Silk Mask with Philippine Algae and Green Tea, Silk Mask with Snail Slime or the Clay Mask with Ginger and Lemongrass with a strongly cleansing effect will work great.

Combination skin care doesn't have to be complicated! Just choose natural cosmetics Orientana, to ensure its good condition and healthy, beautiful appearance.
