How to Care For Oily/Combination Skin

Skincare Solutions: Get to Know Your Skin

If you have oily skin, it is also probable that your complexion is sensitive or even dry in certain areas. Products with balancing constituents such as calming aloe and purifying charcoal are ideal for those who experience varying levels of oiliness.

Moisturizing can be just as crucial here as it is for dry skin, although thick creams and oils may cause difficulties. Nevertheless, overly drying cleansers, toners, and treatments might actually result in a build-up of sebum on the surface due to overcompensation from the dehydration caused by these products.

To reduce the production of oil, consider using a light moisturizer. Masks and peels with natural chemical exfoliators such as alpha and beta hydroxy (salicylic) acids will not only clear your pores but also get rid of dead skin cells. Additionally, spot treatments that contain specific ingredients like clays, oils or acids can have an important influence on reducing blemishes too.
