Skincare routine for combination skin

Rutina Skincare para piel mixta con cosmética médica, Clínica Escoda

Combination skin, main characteristics

Combination skin is characterized by having a oilier area, known as the T-zone, which includes the forehead, nose, and chin; and the rest of the face with a tendency towards dry skin.

We are dealing, therefore, with skin that we must treat as oily skin in its central part, where it shows shine, blackheads, and an occasional pimple, along with the skin on the rest of the face, which is drier and more delicate.

We must choose our products carefully to remove impurities without harming the drier and more sensitive skin, hydrating the drier and more delicate skin, and avoiding clogging the pores in the T-zone, which would lead to more impurities and shine.

It’s important to emphasize that we need to pay attention to both the products we use and the way we apply them.

How do we treat combination skin?

Complete facial routine for combination skin

In the mornings

Step 1

CLEANSE THE DIRT THAT ACCUMULATES ON THE SKIN’S SURFACE

A gentle hydrating soap that cleanses deeply. It doesn’t harm dry skin but cleans the T-zone. Apply only the size of a lentil for the whole face.

Step 2

REGULATE OIL AND TONE

We will apply the acid-soaked pads only on the T-zone twice a day, morning and night. On the dry area, we will apply them once a day or once every two days. These pads are excellent oil regulators and eliminate shine while leaving the skin deeply cleansed.

Step 3

HYDRATE

To hydrate combination skin, we need to look for products that don’t cause comedones but also have the ability to moisturize dry skin. A combination of a serum that preps the skin and a cream with activated nanotechnology elements will assist us in our goals.

In the summer, it’s possible that our skin might not require as much hydration, and only using the serum followed by sunscreen may be sufficient.

Step 4

PROTECT

Because we should never forget to protect our skin from the sun, at any time of the year, and especially during summer when we are more exposed.

The sunscreen from All Skin Med is gentle, non-comedogenic, and allows us to apply makeup on top. Furthermore, it leaves a dry and silky texture, which is very useful and pleasant.

Step 3

TREAT THE SKIN TO RENEW IT

Nothing works better than retinol. Remember as a crucial step to always apply sunscreen during the day if we are using retinol at night.

We will start by applying it every fourth day, then progress to every third day, afterwards applying it on alternate days, ultimately applying it daily on the T-zone and every two or three days on the rest of the face.

With retinol, we will achieve the removal of the layer of dead skin cells, which will provide us with greater luminosity.

On the days when we apply retinol, we don’t need to apply any other cream on top.. On the days when we don’t use it, we will hydrate the skin with the same products we use in the morning.

We recommend this product from All Skin Med, which has a low concentration of retinol, making it ideal to start incorporating into our routine. It’s also a suitable retinol for the summer season, during which it’s important to apply it in very low concentrations, along with sunscreen during the day.

We hope that this skincare routine for combination skin proves to be helpful and aids in improving your skin.
