Combination Skin

What are the common characteristics of combination skin:

Oily central area on the face and dry or sensitive areas on the cheeks.

Often dry on the surface of the skin and at the same time, an over-production of sebum, which can cause spots and papules.

Skincare routine for combination skin:

Morning:

1. Rose Water - spray directly on to the face or apply with a cotton pad (when waking in the morning, it is not normally necessary to cleanse prior to using toner as your face usually does not get dirty during sleep)
2. Eye Cream - lightly dab small amounts around the eyes
3. Moisturiser normal/oily or Jojoba Oil - apply to face, avoiding the eye area. The Jojoba Oil can be used instead, to regulate sebum production if required.
4. Jojoba Oil, Carrot Oil or Body Oil with Sea Buckthorn - apply preferred oil only on dry areas, especially during Winter.

Evening:

1. Face Wash or Cleansing Cream - dampen the face with luke warm water, place a small amount in your hand and gently massage the face to remove dirt and makeup, then rinse with luke-warm water. Face Wash is a lathering gel and Cleansing Cream is smooth and does not lather; choice is down to personal preferrence.

Extra nutrition:

• Gentle Peeling - to exfoliate dull surface cells and give skin a healty glow. Use light circular movements to massage into damp skin and rinse off with luke warm water. Avoid eye area, surface blood vessels and active spots. 1-2 times per week.
• Clay Mask - for a deep cleanse to relax, balance and soften the skin. Apply thin layer and let it work for about 15 minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water. 1-2 times per week.
• Carrot Oil - apply on skin dampened by Rose Water. Use morning and evening for extra nourishment, especially in Winter.
• Vitamin C Serum - give skin an extra boost of vitamin C. Apply to cleansed skin before Moisturiser. 2-3 times per week.
• Night Care Intense - apply after cleansed skin. Use instead of Moisturiser or Oil if extra nutrition is needed for the night. As a more intensive face mask, leave on the skin for 15 minutes and wipe off excess, do not use water.
• Anti Wrinkle Rose Cream - use instead of Moisturiser when more nutrition is required for mature skin.
