Moisturisers

If you’re wondering whether it’s necessary to use a moisturiser on the oily areas of your skin, the answer is always yes. Moisturising is an important step for all skin types; combination skin is no exception. The best face moisturisers for combination skin will protect your skin’s moisture barrier, so it stays hydrated, supple and smooth throughout the day and night.

Without a good moisturiser, your skin will develop premature signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles, and other blemishes that could take a while to treat. A lack of moisture may also induce your sebaceous glands to secrete more oil, causing your complexion to look greasier than it already is.

So if you have combination skin, opt for a lightweight moisturiser that offers sufficient hydration without clogging the pores or stimulating excess sebum. The right moisturisers for combination skin will also improve your skin health and texture, giving you that flawless skin you’ve always wanted

For a healthy complexion, you should use a suitable moisturiser for combination skin twice a day. Under-moisturising will expose your skin to dehydration and dullness, while over-moisturising may lead to breakouts and blemishes.

Day and night moisturisers serve different purposes, so you should include both into your skincare routine. Day creams focus on protection against the sun and environmental stressors, while night moisturisers aim to repair the skin’s moisture barrier overnight.

Skincare experts recommend lightweight, fluid or gel-based formulas that absorb easily into the skin without feeling thick or greasy. These gentle moisturisers are safe for combination skin.

It’s important to avoid heavy creams or moisturisers with dangerous ingredients that could potentially irritate the skin, such as alcohol or strong chemicals. Moisturisers that are specially formulated for combination skin will help soften dry patches, reduce shine and minimise enlarged pores over time.

The best face moisturisers for combination skin should be hydrating, comforting and non-greasy to mimic the skin’s natural moisturising complex. Clarins’ plant-based moisturisers are the leading choice because they contain natural active ingredients that nourish the skin.
