Combination Skin Care
Most women have combination skin, which has areas of both dryness
and oiliness. The greasy patches are usually down the centre of
the face, forming a T shape, while the remainder of the skin on
the face is drier, finer in texture, and in need of more moisturizing.
If the difference between the two areas is great they should be
treated with separate skin care products.
Cleansing
To prevent spots and blackheads, which often appear in oily areas,
cleanse twice a day with a soap-free or oil based cleanser. Oil
based cleansers work well on oily areas of skin as they dissolve
the skin's own sebum and gently remove any excess. It's not essential
to use a toner but may help to reduce the number of large pores.
Moisturizing
After cleansing, apply moisturizer twice daily all over the face,
not just on the dry areas, as the dehydration that leads to wrinkling
is not caused by oil on the skin but by a lack of water in the top
layers. The sebum on your skin serves to trap the moisture below
this layer.
