Best Moisturiser for Combination Skin
Balance and nourish with natural moisturisers
Why do you get Combination Skin?
Combination skin is the most common skin type, and it can look different from person to person. It can appear as an oily T-zone nose, forehead and chin, but normal to dry skin around the cheeks, or dryness that may appear around concentrated patches like around the eyes and mouth.
Combination skin types can often be oiler in the summer months and appear drier or even dehydrated in the winter months. You may also be prone to hormonal breakouts, nothing a good spot treatment once a month won’t address.
Why natural products are better for Combination Skin?
When it comes to caring for combination skin, finding a regime that balances the skin, addressing both your oily and dry areas is key. Do not avoid moisturising, the right natural ingredients and formulas will address and balance your oily areas while nurturing your drier areas. Keep your regime simple and be diligent with cleansing and moisturising morning and night. Natural pro-retinol Vitamin A rich oils and balms and botanical AHAs are ideally suited to combination skin types.
The Best Face and Body Moisturisers for Combination Skin
True Organic of Sweden’s Make My Day is a soothing unisex face cream rich in antioxidants and Vitamin A rich Rosehip. This lightweight cream protects against environmental stressors while balancing the complexion. It’s all in the science. Formulated with unique Algica, an algae shell that works like hyaluronic acid, preventing moisture loss while cleansing the skin of impurities and bacteria. We love the low-key Scandi branding and potent and intelligent formula. Squalane and Blueberry seed oil helps to reduce redness and build a strong barrier, Turmeric helps fight acne and pigmentation and Oat kernel oil is non-comedogenic bringing replenishing ceramides without clogging the pores.
Don’t underestimate the nurturing benefits of a night cream that is brimming with botanical goodness that addresses irregularities and skin texture. While it may appear quite unassuming, Dr Alkaitis is arguably the benchmark in raw organic skincare. The Dr Alkaitis Organic Night Crème is formulated with the unique oil of the Sacha Inchi seed, one of the highest plant sources of Omega-3 essential fatty acids found in nature. Carrot and Marigold Extract bring the regenerative and anti-ageing benefits of Vitamin A to refine the pores and texture of the skin. Awake to calm and refined complexion without a slick of grease or oiliness.

Oil attracts Oil
I know this sounds crazy, but oil really does attract and can do miracles for combination complexions. A natural face oil applied over your moisturiser at night or in place of a nightly moisturiser will balance the oiliness and nourish and the dry/normal skin. The secret is picking the right oil. Look for fast absorbing oils like Sacha Inchi and Pomegranate seed oils. Both these oils are rich sources of fatty acids and are hypoallergenic ideal for oil skin. The fatty acid profile works to tone and lift the complexion. Flora Mirabilis uses these botanical oils as the base of their decadently presented Face Oil. Esthetician founder Jordan has skilfully blended essential oils of Sandalwood, Frankincense, Lavender, Rose and Oud to restore the balance the skin while delivering vital phytonutrients. This oil is really a customised blend for oily and combination skin.

Boost the Glow with a Treatment Serum
Combination skin can more often than not show signs of dehydration. As we work to not over moisturise due to the oiliness, dehydration can occur and the complexion can look at little lacklustre. Adding essential vitamins and Hyaluronic acid in the form of a treatment serum can revive the appearance of the skin while balancing the oiliness and giving some much needed love to the normal to dry skin.
