Guide to Caring for Combination Skin
When choosing skin care for combination skin, stick with a creamy cleanser or balm and a hydrating serum for combination types. Hyaluronic acid is a multitasking super hydrator that holds moisture in the skin and gives the face a firmness that improves daily with dedicated use. If your skin leans towards the oily combination you can benefit from balancing the microbiome with a pre+probiotic serum as outlined in our oily skin care guide.
When selecting a moisturiser for combination skin, lean to a product that is well suited to your either oily or dry side. For oily combination skin care a lightweight lotion is ideal and for dry combination skin care select a mid-weight texture. Award winning K-Beauty brand VENN offers results driven multi-functioning moisturisers across three formulations and weights that are ideally suited to your combination skin care routine.
Refine your skin texture with a night sleep serum of natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids that work to encourage skin renewal while keeping the pores and skin clear and bright. AHAs are great for plumping the skin as well.
TNC TIP: Hydrating mists are the most underestimated beauty products on the market and are really effective for balancing and hydrating combination skin. Natural botanical hydrosols offer the skin all the goodness of botanicals without the weight. Spritz your mist onto clean skin and immediately apply your serum or moisturiser – the hydrosol helps to carry the ingredients of your treatment products to your skin and you just might notice that the skin is more satin to touch as the lipid rich moisturiser has been more easily absorbed.
