Facial care for combination to oily skin
Definition of combination to oily skin
Oily skin is prone to shine, enlarged pores, and sometimes/often imperfections.
Oily and combination skin are often associated because combination skin has the same characteristics as oily skin—shine and imperfections—but localized on the T-zone: forehead, nose, chin.
This skin type is also prone to fragility and dryness on the extremities and contours of the face: temples, jawline, cheekbones.
Combination skin therefore has both the problems of oily skin and dehydrated or dry skin. It is not uncommon to have combination skin with a tendency to be dry, or even combination and sensitive skin.
What to do for oily skin
The solution for balancing oily skin:
On a daily basis, you should use cleansing products, preferably slightly exfoliating, as well as purifying treatments to dry out imperfections, tighten pores, and achieve an even, shine-free complexion.
For moisturizing creams, always opt for fluid and light textures, as these penetrate the skin very easily without suffocating it.
Choose a mattifying one to limit excess sebum or an anti-blemish one depending on your needs.
Using a scrub and mask for oily skin 1 to 2 times a week is essential to refine skin texture, eliminate dead cells, and bring radiance and purity to the complexion.
Combination skin care
You should also choose cleansing/exfoliating treatments to refine skin texture, purifying treatments to even it out, and mattifying treatments to regulate shine.
Be careful not to choose harsh treatments! Combination skin is indeed more fragile than oily skin, especially on the cheeks where lack of hydration or lipids is often noticeable.
Contrary to what you are looking for, a too strong treatment could weaken this area and accentuate the oiliness in the T-zone!
It is therefore necessary to carefully select cosmetic products that are in between, neither too strong so as not to strip the skin, nor too rich so as not to suffocate it and accentuate shine.
Facial care for dry and sensitive skin
Dry and/or reactive skin primarily seeks comfort.
Dry skin is uncomfortable and tends to peel, redden, and react to the slightest irritation (light, pollution, unsuitable treatments, etc.). There is often only a small step between dry skin and sensitive skin.
This is why rich, creamy-textured treatments are the most suitable. Dry skin lacks sebum and lipids, which is why it is important to treat it with very rich and ultra-gentle pampering products.
Be careful, no overly abrasive treatments, as they risk irritating the skin. Also, avoid treatments with alcohol or those that need to be rinsed with water, as the skin reacts easily to limescale. Prefer milks or oils.
When it comes to moisturizing cream, aim for comfort!
Prioritize rich active ingredients such as argan, wheat or silk protein, or shea or coconut butter. Chamomile, with its anti-inflammatory properties, is also a valuable ally.
Facial care for dehydrated skin
Symptoms of dehydrated skin
Dehydrated skin lacks water, unlike dry skin which lacks lipids.
Dehydrated skin tends to be dull and lack suppleness. It is also uncomfortable but without visible signs such as redness or itching, unlike dry skin.
Treating dehydrated skin
It is necessary to replenish this lack of hydration by using fluid, water-rich treatments.
To combat a dull complexion, performing a scrub 1 to 2 times a week is essential to eliminate dead cells and brighten the complexion. A mask also provides radiance and intense hydration.
You should choose gentle, non-abrasive treatments with a light texture. The skin does not lack lipids, but water! Therefore, rich treatments for dry skin will not be suitable.
Mature skin care
Definition of mature skin
Mature skin is not necessarily defined by age but by certain observable symptoms, particularly during pre-menopause or menopause.
Mature skin is very dry and more fragile; it lacks radiance and firmness, wrinkles are more pronounced, and spots appear.
Caring for mature skin
To limit these phenomena related to skin aging, it is important to select appropriate care.
Choose treatments specially formulated for mature skin, rich in nutrients and active ingredients for nutrition. On the body and the oval of the face, loss of elasticity is often an issue. A firming face cream or firming treatments can help redefine and improve suppleness.
For hyperpigmentation, specific treatments exist to limit or even mask unwanted spots. To prevent and protect the epidermis, as the sun tends to stain the skin, prefer formulas with UV protection.
Normal skin facial care
The definition of normal skin is that it presents no particular problems in terms of comfort or hydration.
Nevertheless, it is important to take care of it with suitable cosmetic products to preserve the skin's hydration and youthful capital.
