Cream for combination skin

Care for problem areas of the skin requires an integrated approach, so it is important to choose a cream that meets all the needs of different areas of the face. The following are the main criteria for the selection of high-quality cream for the care of combination skin.

Care of the combined type of skin is aimed at eliminating various problems in certain areas of the face. Specialists in the field of cosmetology conditionally divide the types of skin into normal, oily, dry and combined. It depends on its physiological characteristics and reactions to external irritants.

For example, dry areas - zone of cheeks and temples, and fat areas - the so-called T-zone - nasolabial folds and forehead. Oily skin arise due to enhanced secretion of the sebaceous glands: fat cells along with the sweat fluid out through the pores, and their excessive production provokes a violation of its outflow. Because of this, acne or black spots can appear.

Peeling of individual areas may occur due to the violation of the process of cleansing the epidermis from the "dead" or dead cells. Dryness in certain areas of the combination skin appears due to insufficient moisture. This is especially pronounced in the warm season. Illiterate care for combination skin leads to the early appearance of wrinkles and general fading of the skin.

The prevention of unpleasant phenomena characteristic of combination skin consists in the even distribution of care for dry and oily areas of the face. This can be achieved with care products designed specifically for the mixed type of skin.

The cream must have the following actions:

• intense moisturizing dry areas;
• cell nutrition and enriching them with vitamins and other substances that ensure their healthy functioning;
• prevention from external influences (UV radiation, wind, low or high temperatures);
• repair damaged epidermis sites;
• matting effect;
• anti-inflammatory effect to prevent or treat inflammation of the face (acne, black spots, etc.);
• tonic effect on problem areas;
• blockage prevention sweat and sebaceous glands, by regulating the normal outflow of gland secretion.

In summer, the mixed type is most similar to fat, so more attention should be paid to the “fat” zones - these are nasolabial folds, nose, forehead skin. In the warm season, the problems in these areas of the face become even more pronounced. A person requires intensive care and frequent cleansing with special means.

The agent for the care of mixed skin types should have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, because the high temperature and secretions of the sebaceous glands of the face are a very favorable environment for the reproduction of pathogenic microflora, which can cause acne and other inflammatory skin diseases. It is necessary that the combination skin cream contains components that can “dry” the pores.. However, the excessive effect of these substances can lead to irritation, so here you need to be careful.
