A Handy Guide to Combination Skin

September 23, 2009


Combination skin is not difficult to manage; you just need to have the right knowledge to help you out and you will be well on your way to perfection. If you have combination skin then you deal with the oiliness and blotchiness on certain parts of your body and scaly dry skin on others. This leads to a lot of confusion when it comes to the kind of products that you need to invest in. You are also prone to acne and pimples and premature aging. Since there is nothing that you can do to change the texture of your skin you need to do all you can to protect your skin.

In order to moisturize the dry parts of your body and keep the oily parts free from acne you must wash your body with warm water twice a day. Do not use any soaps or body washes that are fragranced. Instead use a mild soap that will help to clean your pores. Sandalwood soaps are the best for combination skin types. After your bath, use a toner on the oily parts of your body like your face and neck area. This will help to control the production and secretion of oil. You must also exfoliate the oily skin twice a week, but avoid the dry area.

You can use the same type of moisturizer all over your body. Use a water based lotion rather than an oil based one to benefit all parts of your body. Before you step out in the sun make sure that you use sunscreen to protect your skin. Combination skin is more prone to sun burns and tans. You can invest in a tinted moisturizer that has sunscreen in it. It will save you the effort of layering your skin with too many products.

When you are out at the beach or at the pool you must make sure that you use a gel based Aloe Vera lotion all over your body. This will help to keep the skin hydrated and protected against the sun. You must drink plenty of water during the day to keep your skin well moisturized; this will prevent premature aging and damage to your skin.
