COMBINATION SKIN

What does it mean to have a Combination Skin?

It´s a combination of two skin types: normal-dry and oily. And usually, it´s divided by zones (The T-zone, with more oiliness, and the area under the eyes and cheeks that would be the drier zone).

Combination skin has the risk of going from one extreme to the other. That is, if it is not properly cared for.

*How to care for mix skin: When cleansing your skin, double cleansing should be done both day and night. To provide the necessary hydration in the dry areas and not end up dehydrating skin. And also to balance the sebum production in the other areas (there is usually an extra production due to the use of very astringent or drying products.

Characteristics

- T-zone oiliness

- Visible pores in oily areas

- Blackheads and occasional acne always in the same areas

- Dry areas appear matified without luminosity

How does stress affect this type of skin?

Stress increases the production of cortisol in our body. A high level of it causes an alteration and in this case it will make one of the two worse; oilier (and more acne) or drier skin with less luminosity.
