How to Moisturize Combination Facial Skin

Proper moisturizing of all skin types is very important, especially for combination skin. People with combination skin suffer from not only oily skin in some places, but also very dry skin in others. A common misconception is that moisturizing combination skin will make oil production worse and cause more breakouts, but that is not true. Moisturizing will help balance the skin and improve its condition.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Cleanse and tone your face before applying moisture. This will help control the oil and minimize the number of breakouts that you get. If you wash your face too often, you risk making the dry areas worse. Cleanse twice a day.

2. Make sure your hands are clean as well. Otherwise, you risk spreading bacteria all over your face that will make the oily skin more prone to breakouts.

3. Apply a light oil-free moisturizer over your entire face, not only the dry areas. It is best to apply the moisturizer immediately after cleansing and toning to prevent water loss.

4. Reassess your skin's needs from time to time. Changing weather, hormones and stress levels can change your skin type.

Tips & Warnings

• When you wash your face, use warm water only. Hot water is not good for the skin on a regular basis because it will cause the oil production to increase in the oily spots and leach the moisture from the dry areas.
• For best results for combination skin, facial care products that you use should say hypoallergenic, oil free and fragrance free.
