When selecting the best skincare for combination skin, choosing products that are specifically formulated to meet the varied needs of your skin are the best option. Professional skincare brands such as Dermalogica, Skinstitut and Aspect are experts in effectively treating combination skin offering advanced skincare products with active ingredients to help meet your skin’s needs. Be sure to seek out targeted products for combination skin as these are designed to balance the oily areas of your skin whilst caring for the normal to dry areas. Once you have determined that your skin type is combination, a great place to start is with one of our skin care kits. These offer a mini skincare regimen to help you care for your skin, like the Pelactiv Starter Pack - Normal/Oily. You may find that cream & milk cleansers are a good option also, as these effectively purify the skin without stripping, or exacerbating dryness. Additionally, a mid-weight moisturiser like the best-selling Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream beautifully hydrates, conditions and replenishes the skin without feeling heavy or greasy. The best skincare for combination skin here at Activeskin will help bring balance and comfort to the skin, equally nurturing the different zones to keep your skin healthy.

The Best Skincare For Combination Skin

Combination skin demands a higher level of care due to the unique balance required to equally treat the oily and normal to dry areas of the face. The best skincare for combination skin will expertly purify and mattify the oily zones whilst respecting and not stripping oil from the dry skin areas. Our Skin Experts recommend using a soap-free cleanser or lightly exfoliating cleanser like the ASAP Daily Facial Cleanser. This formula is particularly helpful in removing makeup, SPF and excess oil without stripping the skin or causing dryness, whilst the Glycolic Acid & AHA effectively decongests pores and keeps dry skin smooth. Follow with the Obagi Balancing Toner and invest in a good hydrating serum like the Medik8 Hydra8 B5 Intense, as this will effectively lock in skin moisture without adding unwanted oil. Lastly, the Sodashi Balancing Face and Neck Moisturiser valuably repairs and nourishes the skin whilst balancing oil production to minimise shine. Furthermore, you can effectively treat each zone of the face with targeted skincare products to meet the various needs of your skin and elevate results. For example, multi-mask with a drawing clay mask to purify the forehead, nose and chin whilst a more nourishing cream mask would best suit the dryer cheek areas. Or try a mattifying SPF on the T-zone and a face oil pressed into the dryer areas of the face. Select the right balancing skincare at Activeskin and your combination skin will be well cared for.

What Combination Skin Looks Like

Combination skin can be identified by a number of key traits. Typically speaking, combination skin displays areas that are more oily such as the forehead, nose and chin T-zone in addition to dryer skin areas such as the cheeks. The areas that are more prone to oiliness could appear to have shine, open pores and even blackheads or blemishes. Whereas the dry areas of the face may show signs of fine lines, dullness and in some instances, can present mild flakiness. This can make selecting the right skincare challenging as products targeting oily skin could feel too drying on the dry skin areas of the face, and conversely, dry skin skincare products could feel too rich on the T-zone. The best products for combination skin are those that are specifically formulated to balance and nurture combination skin.
