Your skin type is influenced by genetics, which is one of the main factors determining your skin type. Hormones, stress, and environmental factors also influence your skin type. Usually, seasonal changes will affect your skin as well. Your skin will feel less oily in the winter as the cold will naturally strip the skin from its natural oils, whereas in the summer, your oily t-zone will show again.

Understandably, it is different figuring out how to treat combination skin as you must care for not just one skin type, but you’ll have to find the balance between treating two different skin types. First, it is important that you care for both types with a skin care routine that includes products addressing both needs. Even though this next piece of advice might sound silly, avoiding touching your face is also a great way to ensure bacteria won’t transfer from your hands to your face leading to clogged pores.

It is important you use a gentle facial cleanser that will not strip your face from its natural oils or is too harsh on the dry patches of the facial skin. Choose a cleanser that makes sure your face is cleansed properly. We recommend our Cleansing Gel with Salicylic Acid in order to exfoliate the skin for a soft and smooth feel. Amongst hydrating products, we suggest our Hydrating Serum, which is based on an oil-free formulation, ensuring no clogged pores. Also, a lightweight cream with hydrating properties is preferable for combination skin.
