Scrubs for combination skin

Combination skin is often referred to as a problem type due to the fact that it is prone to breakouts and can be dry and dehydrated at the same time. The combined type involves more thorough care and requires timely and proper cleansing of the skin from external contaminants and those that are formed due to the work of the sebaceous glands.

The main and main task of any scrub is cleansing - removing the keratinized layer of cells from the outside and cleansing the pores from the inside. Depending on the type of skin, scrubs differ in the size of abrasive elements and active ingredients.

Let's talk about the advantages of a scrub for a combined type of skin:

1. Scrub allows you to solve an aesthetic problem - to rid the face of dust and waste products from the work of the sebaceous glands.
2. Scrub for the combined type is able to clean the pores deeply, that is, it has small abrasive elements in its composition, which penetrate deeper.
3. The cosmetic product not only cleanses the skin, but also smoothes its top layer, tones and prevents cell aging.
4. The use of a scrub specifically for those prone to rashes and the appearance of oily sheen is advisable from 1 to 2 times a week, depending on the condition and reaction of the face.
5. Scrub is easy to make yourself at home, armed with a recipe and ingredients. and

It is worth applying the scrub on previously cleansed face skin: wash your face with the usual gel or foam and apply the scrub. It is good if the skin is slightly steamed before applying the scrub in order to allow the fine particles of the product to penetrate deeper into the pores and make its cleansing work even better.

Massage your face with the product for 1-2 minutes, paying special attention to the T-zone. If the skin is dehydrated or has peeling on the surface, you should massage your face softer and for a short time to remove excess particles and not injure this area.

Do not abuse the use of a scrub for combination skin, because too frequent cleansing provokes the work of the sebaceous glands, as a result of which the skin begins to get oily faster.

Combination skin with predominantly dry areas requires careful handling, but does not preclude the use of a mild cleansing scrub once every couple of weeks. Self-production of a dry-type scrub will allow you to use only suitable components in a fresh composition. It is especially important to use a scrub for those girls who notice peeling on their skin and comedones - black dots, street dust and dirt also settle on the face, they also need to be removed from the surface of the face and pores.

Sensitive skin types can be dry, normal, or combination, so it's wise to use a scrub for your skin type and be careful about harsh abrasives that can irritate the surface of the face and lead to redness. Sensitive skin needs a scrub, due to which blood flows to the upper layer - it is more likely to be renewed, peeling and pores are cleared.

A coffee-based scrub is the best of its kind and is very easy to make at home. The rest of the coffee grounds are mixed with water until a viscous gruel or other components are formed: oils, honey, salt. For combination to oily skin, try this coffee recipe: mix ground coffee with olive oil and melissa or tea tree oil. It is difficult to clearly define the proportions, but we note that only 1-2 drops of essential oil are enough, you should not overdo it.

Apply the resulting mixture to the skin, avoiding the eyes and lips, massage, then let it stay for 5-10 minutes. The scrub is washed off with warm water or herbal infusion of green tea or chamomile.

Salt scrub is the most potent of the above, suitable for oily and combination skin. Mix 8 grams of sea salt with bergamot essential oil and mink oil (or any other fatty component). Gently apply to the skin and gently massage, leave on the skin for 5-8 minutes.Remove the remains of home peeling and moisturize the skin with a daily cream. The use of such a cleanser should not exceed 2 times a month, so as not to disturb the lipid balance of the skin and not provoke rashes.

Scrub with the effect of a mask of soda and lemon (lime) zest allows you to lighten the skin and get rid of age spots. Mix 8 grams of soda with 6 gr. Lime peels, mix the mixture thoroughly and apply on pre-cleansed face using cotton pads. Massage the skin with them for a few seconds, paying attention to problem areas. Leave the mask on your face for 5-8 minutes, then remove the composition with mineral water.

The listed recipes are easy to diversify with your own finds: use your favorite essential oils and combine them as part of a home scrub, having previously familiarized yourself with the properties of a particular component.
