Face cream for combination skin. The best, according to women, day creams for normal and combination skin

Combination, or mixed, skin combines two types - it can be oily skin(most often in the T-zone: forehead, nose, chin) and dry or normal skin in the cheek area. This skin type can be called the most common: about 80% of teenagers, 40% of people under 22 years of age and 10-15% of people over 25 have it.

Combination skin has healthy appearance, smooth structure and oily areas with large pores in the T-zone. Oily and dry areas on the skin can alternate in any order, but problems with the T-zone are usually still relevant for owners of such skin. There is an opinion that mature age Combination skin may change and become normal. This really happens.

Distinctive feature combination skin- increased activity sebaceous glands in the T-zone, while in other areas of the skin the sebaceous glands are less active and practically do not cause problems. Combination skin requires careful care of each area of ​​the skin separately. As a rule, in people with combination skin type, due to increased sebum secretion, comedones (blackheads) appear in the T-zone, and dryness and flaking are observed in other areas of the face. It will help to cope with these problems combined care behind the skin of the face.

IN different time combination skin requires different attitude and care. In summer, combination skin should be treated like oily skin: be sure to use gels for washing, scrubs once a week, light (non-greasy) creams or gels with anti-inflammatory components. In winter, treat it as dry: cleanse carefully with milk, use scrubs no more than once every two weeks, protective creams(thick, fatty, based on animal fats, waxes or thick vegetable oils) at least 20-30 minutes before going outside. If necessary, if your skin remains dry in the evening, apply a moisturizer at night. Often improper care behind the skin of the face leads to dryness in the cheek area or clogging in the T-zone. The first step towards healthy skin there must be its purification.

Skin cleansing

Cleansing combination skin should be gentle, as it is necessary not only to remove excess sebaceous secretions, but also not to dry it out. Cleanse combination skin morning and evening by special means for this skin type. These can be gels, foams, milk. The product is applied in a thin layer, after which the skin is massaged with your fingertips for 2-3 minutes, and then washed off with cool water using sponges or cotton balls - this method is the most delicate and hygienic. It is advisable that cosmetics It was stated that they are non-comedogenic, but if there are no special instructions, then it should be borne in mind that the following ingredients are comedogenic: almond oil, peach kernel oil, Coconut oil, oleic alcohol, isostearic alcohol, isopropyl myristate, acetylated lanolin, isopropyl isostearate, butyl stearate. Remember that if you have combination skin, it is not advisable to wash your face with soap and hot water, as this can provoke increased activity of the sebaceous glands.

Toning

After cleansing, the skin is wiped with a toner or lotion for combination skin that does not contain alcohol. Its task is to normalize skin acidity and the function of the sebaceous glands, narrow pores and prevent inflammatory processes. When choosing a tonic cosmetic product, pay attention to its composition: it should include anti-inflammatory and moisturizing components. As a rule, these are panthenol, bisabolol and various herbal extracts. Toners with salicylic acid are also great.

Applying cream

Mandatory condition: cream for combination skin should not be oily! It should contain anti-inflammatory substances (chamomile, sage, plantain and others): this prevents the occurrence of inflammatory processes. Try to purchase creams only from natural oils, such as macadamia oil, meadow kernel oil, shea butter, sesame oil, because mineral oils lead to clogged pores and clogging of the skin.

A day cream for the care of combination skin should have an anti-inflammatory, mattifying - eliminating greasy shine skin - and a moisturizing effect. Night cream for the care of combination skin should be slightly oilier than day cream. The fat content of the cream is determined by its consistency; in addition, on the jar of cream there is an indication: “day” or “night”. It is also recommended to be used as a daytime during the cold season. The main functions of night cream are skin restoration, nutrition and hydration. But, as a rule, the need for its use arises in women after 30 years of age.

Deep cleansing for combination skin

A cleansing mask is carried out once a week. For these purposes, scrubs/peelings with solid particles are used (of course, if there are no inflammatory processes). Scrubs should contain polymers or polished (crushed) bones (unpolished bones injure the skin). Masks for the care of combination skin should be creamy (they should not dry out on the skin) and contain no fruit acids, otherwise overdrying will occur in areas with a dry skin type. Film masks (when they dry, a film forms on the skin) can be applied to oily areas of the skin. In addition, once a week you can apply nourishing mask, but only on areas with dry skin!

Determining your skin type
You can determine your skin type yourself: to do this, you need to wash your face with soap, and after 2-3 hours pat your face dry paper napkin alternately at each site. If a greasy mark remains on the napkin, it means that the skin in that area is oily.

Masks for combination skin

Cleansing mask. 1 tbsp. spoon oatmeal mix with milk until a paste is obtained. If milk is not available, it can be replaced with kefir or a decoction of chamomile and plantain herbs. Apply the resulting mixture in a thin layer to the face, avoiding the area around the eyes.

Revitalizing mask. 1 tbsp. Mix a spoonful of low-fat cottage cheese with milk until smooth. Apply the resulting mixture in a thin layer to the face, avoiding the area around the eyes. Whitening mask. Its essence lies in layer-by-layer application of kefir for 25 minutes. Kefir should be applied in a thin layer to the face, avoiding the area around the eyes. As soon as the kefir dries, you need to apply the next layer, and so on for the entire recommended time.

Nourishing mask. Mashed potatoes mix with milk. Apply the resulting mixture in a thin layer to the face, avoiding the area around the eyes.

Masks must be kept on the face for 15-20 minutes, then rinsed with water. room temperature using a sponge. The procedure is completed by applying cream to the facial skin. Please note: home-made masks are applied only to healthy skin!

"Black dots". Often women try to squeeze out the comedones that have formed. This should not be done, because mechanical removal provokes the appearance of new “black spots”. In addition, on insufficiently cleansed skin, squeezing can provoke inflammatory skin lesions.

There is no doubt that caring for combination skin is very important. But in the struggle for healthy, matte and beautiful skin lifestyle and compliance with the rules are no less important rational nutrition, aimed at stabilizing the microflora and intestinal functions. In other words, caring for combination skin takes a lot of time, but with proper care, such skin will not age for a long time.

I’m over 35. I started to notice that creams and masks don’t help my skin much! My friend Imedin recommended it to me! I've been taking it for half a year now, after 3 months I started to notice good changes with my skin. The elasticity has increased and the color has changed! I read about these tablets that they are designed to take care of the skin from the inside! I really liked this concern! :)

Please advise nutritious cream from iHerb. - gatherings. Foreign online shopping. Purchasing goods in foreign online stores Girls, I have dry skin, recommend a nourishing cream (night), but also a day cream :), and also praise chapstick from there.

I can’t choose a face cream for myself, because I don’t know much about it myself, and the specialists from Letual and Ile de Beaute spoke so uncertainly, as if I wanted something that doesn’t exist. Beautiful girls, please advise me which creams to look for so that I can at least go to the cosmetics store...

In my opinion, you need two creams)). A sanblok is a sanblok. And the skincare cream has nothing to do with it. Anti-wrinkle cream is a myth)). There are no such people. It is necessary to choose a skin care cream that would take care of the skin so that the appearance of wrinkles is not rapid.
Your problems are:
- the skin is most likely dehydrated,
- The T-zone is shiny and has black spots,
- skin is prone to formation age spots.
To solve problems you need:
- moisturizing, well-absorbing day cream, preferably with a matting effect (look at bioderma pharmacies and clinics, they have series for your skin)
- good cleansing, including deep cleansing (look at nitrozhina, there is daily remedies and funds for deep cleansing, and also Bioderma water is good)
- protection in the sun, with a factor of at least 30 (I recommend Estee Lauder, these products are inexpensive), but keep in mind that all these products give the skin a shine or a whitish film, otherwise, in my opinion, it cannot be, so you also need:
- additional matting (these are matting wipes throughout the day and matting powder, in your case it is more of a barrier agent rather than a foundation)))
This is the very, very minimum... I have a different skin type, I can’t tell you in more detail about the brands, I only brought you mid-price ones (Nitrogina is generally cheap, but effective).
It’s best to visit a cosmetologist. I only outlined it very schematically and, moreover, I may be mistaken in understanding your problems.

cream for dry skin. I can't find the cream. By winter, the skin on your face becomes unbearably dry. From the last one I tried, Uriage Supply seems to be both nutritious and for dry skin, but no. Recommend a cream for very dry skin for the oval of the face, please. I'm older than you and my skin...

Moisturizing day cream for combination skin is worse, but also not bad. Now I tried their moisturizing mask with aloe and violet. Light peeling + mask + cream = smooth out expression lines on the forehead.

Discussion

thanks to all.

This happens to me when I start using a new cream. There is no redness or swelling, just slight tingling and burning. It goes away after a few uses.
As for moisturizers. Any moisturizing cream (even medical ointments) stings very much when applied to damaged skin. If the skin is very dry, it is by definition damaged. When it heals, the burning goes away. How unpleasant it is to reanimate the skin on your nose after a cold :)))
By the way, the best moisturizer I've ever used is night cream for dry skin (I have combination skin with dry areas in winter)" Clean line"with aloe and wheat germ, it seems. I used it both day and evening. The result is noticeable. More expensive creams, even luxury ones, did not give such an effect. Moisturizing day cream for combination skin is worse, but also not bad. Now I tried their moisturizing mask with aloe and violet. Light peeling + mask + cream = smooth out expression lines on the forehead. Try it! Price: 30 rubles.

How to choose a moisturizer?

We must not forget that daytime face cream from Natura Siberica or any other brand can never replace night cream. Conversely, after washing your face in the morning, you should not use a product intended for application to the skin immediately before going to bed. After all, day and night creams for combination skin differ in many ways:

1. Day cream contains less oils than night cream, and therefore can be safely used under makeup.
2. Your daily product should include SPF filters.
3. Night cream contains more nutrients and does a better job of moisturizing the epidermis.

Thus, it becomes obvious that only comprehensive care for combination skin will help make it clean, beautiful and silky. Avoid using both day and night creams at the same time, replacing them with one universal remedy, is possible only if you are under 25 years old. At this age, the skin, as a rule, does not require special nutrition and hydration, which means it does not need night cream. However, in any case, approach the choice of cosmetics that you will use as responsibly as possible, giving preference to products famous manufacturers prepared using natural ingredients.
