Moisturizer for combination skin

Not every girl is lucky to be the happy owner of normal skin. Most have a rather whimsical care combined type. It is the heterogeneous structure of the skin that causes the problem of choosing the right care, in particular, a moisturizer.

The main thing to consider is the presence of features that are characteristic of different skin types:

• The T-zone (nose, forehead and chin) is oily, and the area of ​​the cheeks, temples and eyelids is dry;

• in the oily area of ​​the face, the pores are enlarged, which leads to the formation of black dots;

• active production of sebum provokes the appearance of acne and pimples;

• the rest of the face feels dry and tight, peeling is quite possible.

It is necessary to take care of combination skin in a complex, that is, take into account the needs of both dry and oily areas of the face. Most often, girls focus on the problem T-area, trying to eliminate oily sheen and rashes. And this is a big mistake. When using cosmetics for oily skin, the already overdried cheek area is dehydrated all over the face. The opposite situation is also possible, when intensive care is applied to moisturize dry skin. This activates the work of the sebaceous glands and threatens to increase acne.

So, a good moisturizer should provide:

• anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action;
• normalization of the sebaceous glands;
• matting effect, as well as reliable protection against ultraviolet radiation, if it is a day cream;
• restoration of tone and healing, if it is a night cream;
• light hydration.

If you don’t want to bother with a lot of tubes for different parts of the face, you can choose the option that will be designed for mixed skin types.

Key points:

• the cream should correspond to the age group to which you belong;
• cheap low quality products are better not to buy;
• before buying, you should carefully study the composition;
• give preference to hypoallergenic cosmetics suitable for sensitive skin;
• it is recommended to read consumer reviews;
• Periodically, the care line needs to be changed to avoid addiction.

Panthenol, collagen, glycerin, hyaluronic acid and other components will be useful.
