Combination skin

what is combination skin?

You can recognize combination skin by the T-zone on your face: the inner area around the nose tends to have greasy, oily skin , while the outer area around the cheeks tends to be dry and wrinkles more easily.

The cause of combination skin is the varying levels of sebum production on the face. It is stronger on the inside of the face than on the outside. This often has to do with hormones, which is why younger people in particular tend to have combination skin, which then normalizes again as they get older (around 30 years of age).

WHAT CARE FOR COMBINATION SKIN?

Combination skin deserves a little more attention when it comes to care, after all, you have to treat two different skin types at the same time: dry, oily and greasy skin.

A proven approach here is to remove skin impurities with regular but very mild facial cleansing. At the same time, you include a moisturizer that helps you get the dry parts of the skin under control without over-greasing the oily parts. High-quality oils and moisture-binding active ingredients such as urea and hyaluronic acid will help you here.

The highest priority when caring for combination skin is to only use products that do not cause additional damage or irritation to the skin. Harsh alcohols or other questionable active ingredients are absolutely taboo.

TIPS FOR COMBINATION SKIN

Tip 1: Facial cleansing

When cleaning combination skin, use a cleanser that works deep into the pores but is very gentle. After all, you don’t want to endanger your skin with aggressive ingredients. Mild facial cleansers that use kaolin mud and activated charcoal to cleanse the skin without drying it out further are particularly suitable for combination skin.

Tip 2: Moisturize

Both dry and oily skin areas benefit from a well-formulated moisturizer that does not have a moisturizing effect: Urea and hyaluronic acid should bind moisture, while high-quality oils stabilize the skin's protective acid mantle. Dry skin is well supplied with moisture. At the same time, the sebaceous glands in the oily skin area receive a signal that there is enough oil on the skin.

Tip 3: Nutrients

Combination skin is particularly sensitive to external influences. Free radicals and bacteria can lead to inflammation and skin problems like pimples. Your vegan cosmetics should therefore contain vitamins, trace elements such as zinc and panthenol to strengthen your skin health.

Tip 4: Lifestyle habits

A healthy lifestyle will help you get combination skin under control. A balanced diet with sufficient fluid intake is just as important as avoiding harmful alcohol or tobacco.

Received, unpacked and tested immediately; Just a dream. I love The concept. Great quality, a cream that is tailored exactly to my needs and very effective. I noticed the first improvements after just one week: softer, smooth skin, fewer wrinkles in the morning and fewer pimples in the forehead area. Thanks, will definitely order again.

My dermatologist advised me to do more for my mature skin. I came across Sober on the Internet. I have been using the Hydra Defense face cream for 2 months. With success! I'm very satisfied. Thanks!

Timeshift Anti-Aging Serum - A great product for daily skin care. The serum has a pleasant smell, perhaps due to the green tea extract it contains. I have applied it daily and it feels very comfortable on the skin. Great product and would be happy again...

Best facewash I have ever used

Ernest H.

Risking to sound too overexcited, this is really the best I've tried! My skin feels very soft even after the first use, and the effect never disappoints. Redness has improved considerably; pores, too. Additionally to daily cleaning, once a week I leave it on my skin for a few minutes, and I can feel a good but gentle peeling effect. Simply everything is nice about it, including packaging, look, smell etc. One small space for improvement: the dispenser sometimes chokes or gives out very little, but it recovers after another push.
