Do we really know what combination skin is? I help you identify it
We all want to have luminous and glowing skin, but not all people use the same cosmetic strategy. That is why it is important to know what our skin type is and thus be able to take care of it with specific cosmetics according to our needs.
As a general rule, skin is divided into five categories: normal , oily , combination , dry and sensitive . Although it is likely to change due to climate, diet, stress and aging. Sometimes the skin type has a genetic origin and is maintained throughout life.
Are you really sure what type of skin you have?
Combination skin is a mystery to many of us, as it can be difficult to identify and even more difficult to treat. This type of dermis is a mix between dry skin and oily skin, and it is the most predominant among the population.
The oily area is most present in the so-called T Zone passing through the forehead, nose and chin and where the typical signs of oily skin are most noticeable: enlarged pores, sebum (yellowish substance in the form of shine), blackheads, pimples, etc.
On the other hand, the part external to the T Zone is called the dry zone. This is because the skin in this area is thinner. Unlike in the oily area, pimples do not usually appear here and the pores are practically closed.
The mistakes that are made when treating this skin range from one extreme to the other: either because we use oily creams that can end up generating an acne problem or because they do not hydrate the skin enough, mistakenly believing that they do not need it and that this is how it is. It can prevent the appearance of shine and imperfections. In addition, sometimes seborrheic dermatitis may appear, although its appearance is not common because it is typical of dry skin.
The changes from not taking care of yourself
If we do not take proper care of combination skin, it can become more oily or, conversely, it can become excessively dehydrated and dry . For that same reason, it runs a serious risk of going from one extreme to another.
Those of us who have combination skin need products that do not worsen the problem and above all that balance the skin barrier, achieving calm and comfortable skin with itself.
It is important to use a cosmetic routine adapted to your needs and above all to choose a cosmetic company that offers you advice that accompanies you in your evolution to achieve normal skin because not all skin should be treated in the same way.
In some cases it is even advisable to use different cosmetics for different parts of the face, adapting them to the needs of the skin, whether it is with enlarged pores, dry, with excess blackheads or, on the contrary, with peeling (small skin).
Recommendations for combination skin
Because it is a type of skin with various textures, where the objective is to achieve balance. Some recommendations to keep in mind are:
- Do not use makeup remover wipes, as they do not thoroughly clean the skin and can cause irritation.
- Do not use cosmetics with alcohol, as they dry out excessively and these skin needs balance (hydro-lipid mantle).
- Use Oil Free makeup, as it saturates the skin and does not allow it to breathe.
- The cosmetics should have light textures without petroleum jelly, lanolin or mineral oils so that they do not clog the pore.
