Best Skin Care Routine for Combination Skin
Balanced and optimised skin function.
Battling an oily T-zone and dry cheeks? Take stock you are not alone. Combination skin is the most common skin type yet the distribution of oil/dry tends to be unique to each person. That afternoon shiny T-zone can have us reaching for products to address the oily zone while not addressing the other zones of the face. Achieving a balanced complexion is the skin goal, obtainable with the best skin care routine for combination skin using natural and organic skincare.
Why natural products are better for Combination Skin?
Natural products are effective at balancing combination skin and are ideal for your skin care routine for combination skin. The ingredients in natural and organic are multi-functional and work holistically to address the skin function. Healthy skin function helps what we typically term as “skin concerns” subside and become less of a burden.
The Best Skincare Routine for Combination Skin.
Creating balance without drying or exacerbating oil production is the aim when planning and committing to a skin care routine for combination skin. As with oily skin types, daily cleansing, a weekly detox regime and the right moisturiser will improve skin function in as little as three months.
Cleanse to Prep
Daily cleansing day and night is transforming for all skin types. Cleansing creates an ideal base for the skin treatments in your skin care routine and the cleansing action gently helps to promote cell renewal for a dewier looking complexion. The best skin care routine for combination skin starts the day and ends the day with cleansing. It is key to healthy skin function so be consistent and don’t skip your morning or evening cleanse with one of these natural cleansers.
The Dutch Proprietary Tulip Complex in BLOOMEFFECTS Royal Tulip Cleansing Jelly actively dissolves oil and all traces of makeup without stripping your skin. The formula is rich in antioxidants, natural and amino acids for softer, smoother and hydrated skin. We love the bonus with this Royal Tulip Cleansing Jelly- it is perfect for use as a pre-cleanser and gentle enough to use as a double cleanse. Wash once to remove makeup and again for an extra deep clean.

Exfoliation for Combination Skin
When it comes to exfoliating as a part of your skin care routine for combination skin, less is more. We recommend twice a week exfoliation and mask. The dual action works to bring radiance to the complexion and provide a gentle deep cleanse. Both mechanical and chemical exfoliation removes dead skin cells for clear pores and is vital for cell renewal and collagen synthesis in an anti-ageing routine. The right natural exfoliator also boosts the efficacy of your treatment products allowing them to work at their very best. When selecting an exfoliator and mask, ingredients are EVERYTHING and the earth on which we live is brimming with skin-loving goodness.
Clay works wonders for Combination Skin
Clay is both detoxifying and replenishing for all skin types and is ideal for addressing congestion while remineralising the complexion. Clay helps to rid the skin of impurities by absorbing excess oil, deep cleanses the pores and tones the skin. The gentle exfoliation action from clay works to buff dead skin cells while providing natural minerals that brighten, and omega fatty acids to decrease inflammation and support better skin function.
Our top picks of clay masks for combination skin are formulated with detoxifying clays and revitalising actives. The perfect weekly addition to your skin care routine for combination skin.
NAMARI Staub is a powdered multi-exfoliant and mask activated by mixing with water. Turning to a decadent purple mousse it boosts circulation, draws out impurities and revitalizes on cellular level to reveal a refreshed and rosy complexion. The formulation has a base of Moroccan Rhassoul clay, with the added actives of ground hibiscus blossoms for vitamin c, genuine silver for promoting collagen and micro-algae for all round skin health. It can be used as a rinse off exfoliator or left for longer as a treatment beauty mask.
Detoxifying Charcoal for Combination Skin
Activated charcoal has a similar function to clay. It draws out excess oil, gently exfoliates, refines the pores, and helps to reduce breakouts and acne. Activated charcoal is a great addition to your skin care routine if your skin is showing signs of pollution, where we often see an increase in blackheads. Charcoal powder is mineral rich and well tolerated by even the most sensitive skin.
AMALA’s Clinical Deep Cleansing Charcoal Clay Mask is formulated with Bamboo Charcoal and Rhassoul Clay. This super easy mask is a potent cocktail of vital minerals, including copper, magnesium, zinc, iron and silicon and works synergistically to help nourish and condition the skin. The added benefits of the Wakame pre and probiotic infusion- a blend of Japanese seaweed and prebiotics, nurtures the skin microbiome which in turn balances the complexion and encourages healthy skin function.
Hyaluronic Acid for Combination Skin
Combination skin can be prone to dehydration. In the quest for addressing the oiliness, there can be a tendency to under-nourish and neglect the normal/dry zones of the face. Hyaluronic acid locks water into the skin without exacerbating oiliness. Hydrated skin can function better and in turn will help reduce the oiliness of the T-zone. Your complexion will look plumper and fuller too. Use it as your daily serum both morning and night under a lightweight moisturiser.
The benchmark in luxury, clinically proven clean skincare AMALA formulates a potent Skin Plumping Hyaluronic Serum that brings the added benefit of anti-ageing actives vitamin C rich Amla, renewing Rose Gold and antioxidant Spirulina. Optimising both high and low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid, 100% of women tested in clinical trials* saw an improvement in hydration and 95% saw an improvement in skin firmness. It is a luxury buy but it certainly goes a long way.

Lock it in with Moisturiser
After cleansing, whether your tone or serum, you should always apply your natural moisturiser. Even oily skin needs moisturising. This step is vital in helping to retain water in the skin. A quality natural moisturiser prevents trans-epidermal water loss and helps to build resilient and healthy skin. Complete you skin care routine for combination skin by choosing the best moisturiser for combination skin.
Oil Loves Oil
It’s hard to believe that applying a face oil to skin that can be suffering from oiliness is beneficial. Working on the theory that oil attracts oil, a natural and organic botanical face oil balances the oil production while providing vital vitamins and antioxidants. Phyto-nutrient oils come in many weights offering many varied skin benefits. Look for a formula that is lightweight and fast absorbing, with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties to help calm the skin while preventing acne. You can find more advice on the best serums and oils to add to your skin care routine for combination skin in our Journal – The Best Moisturiser for Combination Skin.
