Combination Skin Care

Which is the largest organ of human body? Obviously skin and taking care of this organ is not only extremely important just because looks matter, but also extremely tough for the skin type changes with every inch of the body. Obviously the skin on your feet is different from the skin on your face but did you know that even the skin on your face may not be of the same texture. No? Of course yes! Haven’t you ever heard of combination or mixed skin? That’s what it is. A facial skin which is not completely dry or oily is called a combination skin. It does not mean that it is a perfect balance between oily and dry, which would actually make it normal skin. In fact, it means that some part of the face is dry, while the other is oily. And generally it is the T-zone that is oily. This T-zone comprises of the forehead, the nose and the chin and is so called because of the shape that these features form on the face, resembling the letter T. In case you have such a skin type, know that the only way to deal with this kind of skin is to treat each portion separately. Let’s read on how to do it!

 

The best way to know if you have a combination skin is a medical way. You can get yourself checked by a dermatologist and he will conduct all the necessary tests on your facial skin and give you scientific details of what is your skin like. To know whether or not you have a combination skin at home, you need to follow the following steps. Wash your face with your regular face wash right before you go to sleep. Wipe out your face completely and do not put any moisturizer or cream on it. Keep a stack of cotton or tissue papers by your bedside. Pick some cotton or a tissue in the morning and wipe your face with it. Start with the T-zone and then gradually move to the cheeks and under eye area. If your tissue gets oily on the T-zone and stays normal on the rest of the face, then you have a combination skin condition.
