How to clean a combination skin

Combination skin is sometimes difficult to deal with because the T zone (the area of the nose and forehead) is oily but the rest of the skin is dry or normal. That’s why this skin type requires the most care and dedication for optimal skin cleansing. It can be done but it will require a little additional effort because you will probably have to use different products for oily and different for dry parts of the face.

For T zone- Oily face parts should be treated with regular cleansers designed for oily skin. Pore cleansing strips are also great for this area because they will provide optimal pore cleansing without damaging the other, more sensitive, parts of the skin. You see, the pores in the nose area are usually larger so they get filled with dirt quickly and cleaning them regularly with a harsh cleanser can cause the dry skin parts to become red and itchy. This problem can easily be solved with strips, just apply the strip over the part you need to clean, press it gently and then pull off.

For dry parts- Dry parts of the face should be cleansed with cream based cleansers which will unclog the pores but will not cause the skin to become even more dry. These cleansers provide moisture and needed vitamins and minerals thus making the skin softer. Gel or cream masks are also a great way of providing hydration for these dry areas. Since the mask can be applied to only targeted, dry areas you can use it very frequently without worrying will it cause the oily T zone to become even more oilier.

For the optimal pore cleansing results combine two types of cleansers, one in the morning and one in the evening. The cleanser you use in the morning should be designed for oily skin, it will relieve your face of excess oil and prevent it become shiny during the day. The cleanser you use in the evening should be a cream cleanser for dry skin. It will provide moisture and nutrients for the dry parts. Face mask is also something you should do at least once a week and for dry parts you can do it even two or three times per week. Make sure you use two different masks- apply the clay mask to oily parts and gel or cream mask to dry parts. That way you will always have perfectly clean, healthy and conditioned skin.
