Combination skin
Combination skin is oily in some areas and normal or dry in others. Usually the forehead, nose and chin (the T-zone) are shiny, while the cheeks feel tight. Skincare for combination skin therefore looks for balance: enough hydration for the dry areas without weighing down the oily zones.
Skincare for combination skin
Cleansing combination skin
In the evening, the easiest way to remove make-up and sunscreen is with an oil that emulsifies with water. The Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil by Anua rinses off cleanly and leaves no greasy film. Follow with a mild, water-based cleanser for a double cleanse.
Hydrating in layers
With light layers you tailor your routine to each zone. A hydrating toner such as the Rice Toner by I'm From can be applied twice on your cheeks and once on your T-zone. A serum with niacinamide, such as the Glow Serum Propolis + Niacinamide by Beauty of Joseon, helps make shine and pores less visible.
One cream or two?
The Advanced Snail 92 All-in One Cream by COSRX is light enough for your T-zone yet still comforts your cheeks. If your cheeks feel very dry, you can use a richer cream there and a gel on your T-zone. You will find more choice among our moisturisers. If your whole face is shiny, the tips for oily skin suit you better.
