Cleansers

Individuals with combination skin should choose facial cleansers that are specially designed to suit both dry and oily regions of the face. The texture of your cleanser is really important, and a good face wash for combination skin should be something that is lightweight yet moisturising enough to rehydrate and soothe the drier areas on your face.

Foam-based cleansers are known to be very gentle on combination skin. Other recommended options are gel and mousse since they can deeply cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural oils.

If you have combination skin, you should stay away from cleansers containing alcohol or harsh chemicals because those will dehydrate your skin. Skincare experts would also advise against using cleansers that are very thick or comedogenic, as those can clog the pores and potentially trigger acne, blackheads and other blemishes.

Your safest bet is to go for gentle, plant-based face cleansers that are formulated for combination skin.

According to dermatologists, it’s ideal to use a facial cleanser for combination skin every morning and evening. While cleansing, pay extra attention to the oily parts of the face, such as the forehead, nose and chin. Since the sebaceous glands are most active there, you should always ensure that you give those regions a thorough cleanse to prevent traces of sebum or dirt from lingering on the surface of your skin.

Be sure not to wash your face more than twice a day, as this will easily lead to dehydration and breakouts.
