Moisturizing combination skin effectively involves a targeted approach to address both the dry and oily areas of your face. This ultimate step-by-step guide gives you 11 proven tips to ensure your face is properly moisturized:
1. Identify Your Skin's Needs:
Determine which areas of your face are dry and which are oily. Commonly, the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) is oily, while the cheeks and sometimes the perimeter of the face may be dry or normal.
2. Gentle Cleansing:
Start your skincare routine with a mild, hydrating cleanser that doesn't strip your skin of its natural oils. Use lukewarm water to cleanse. Enjoy a revitalizing experience with the purifying power of our Botanicals Facial Cleanser. Watch as excess oil and debris are gently swept away, leaving a beautifully balanced appearance and a noticeably smoother texture.
3. Apply a Toner:
If you use a toner, apply it to your entire face to balance the skin's pH levels. Experience the invigorating freshness of our citrus-inspired moisture balancing toner, Botanicals Facial Toner, expertly formulated to restore optimal hydration levels to your skin. Crafted from botanical extracts and essential oils, this toner is bursting with natural-source goodness that helps promote a sense of hydration equilibrium.
4. Moisturizer Selection:
Choose two different moisturizers, one for the dry areas and one for the oily areas, if needed.
5. Moisturizing the Dry Areas:
Apply a richer, hydrating moisturizer to the dry areas of your face, such as your cheeks. Look for products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides to provide deep hydration. These areas may benefit from a cream or lotion formula.
Pamper your skin with the comforting embrace of rich lipids, plant-based hyaluronic acid, and ceramides, carefully selected to restore and strengthen dry skin with our Equilibrium Facial Moisturizer for dry & dehydrated skin.
The rich combination of Jasmine Butter and Macadamia Emollient offer soothing comfort to dry skin, while supporting cell regeneration and reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
6. Moisturizing the Oily Areas:
Use a lightweight, oil-free, and non-comedogenic moisturizer on the oily areas, like the T-zone. Gel-based or water-based moisturizers work well here. Avoid over-moisturizing in these areas.
Indulge your skin with the nourishing benefits of our silky Botanicals Facial Moisturizing Gel , specifically formulated to provide the perfect amount of hydration without any sticky residue that can disrupt your skin's moisture balance.
Enhanced with Vitamins A and C, this daily hydrator is further boosted with Beta-Hydroxy Salicylic Acid, supporting an even skin tone and radiant complexion.
7. Spot Treatments:
If you have specific skincare concerns like acne or blemishes, use targeted treatments only on the affected areas. Promote optimal moisture balance and uniformity with our oil-free, fast-absorbing Botanicals Facial Serum, specifically designed for combination skin.
The Anise seed oil's anti-inflammatory properties offer relief for skin conditions like acne and eczema.
8. Be Consistent:
Stick to a consistent skincare routine. This helps your skin adapt to the products you're using and can lead to better results.
9. Night Routine:
At night, use a more hydrating moisturizer for your entire face, like the Equilibrium Facial Serum +. This allows your skin to repair itself while you sleep and effectively diminishes the appearance of aging.
10. Adjust as Needed:
Be flexible with your routine. You may need to adjust products based on how your skin reacts over time.
Your skin may also need to adjust to seasonal changes, especially in colder climates. Help your skin transition as the weather changes with our Serenity collection for sensitive skin.
