Our Face Care Guide for Combination Skin helps you find the perfect skin care routine to take care of your skin.
Similar to normal skin, but may occasionally produce some sebum in the T-zone and not enough on the cheeks.
It is the most aesthetic and comfortable type of skin, but it can also be the least balanced, subject to changes and easily irritated, because it is too often treated like oily skin with corrosive and aggressive products!
- Your T-zone is quite oily, but the rest of your face remains relatively normal.
- The skin on your cheeks is normal, but sometimes you may feel it stretching.
- Your complexion may appear dull.
- The surface of your skin is uneven with enlarged pores on your forehead, nose and/or chin.
- Your skincare routine is always changing as you never seem to have the right products on hand.
- Make sure your cream is moisturizing but not greasy, combining active moisturizers and balancing components to regulate the amount of sebum. Normal to combination skin can often be dehydrated, so don't hesitate to use a moisturizing serum with your cream or use a skin care oil to prevent your skin from losing water.
- Remove your makeup and cleanse your skin thoroughly every night to ensure you wake up with beautiful skin the next day.
- Apply a "double mask": a hydrating mask for your cheeks and a cleansing mask for your T-zone. Targeted skincare will allow you to provide long-lasting hydration where it's needed and gently purify other parts of your face.
In the morning, you will cleanse your skin only once. But at night, even if you don't wear makeup, cleanse your skin twice: once with an oil-based product, the makeup remover. And a second time with the same product you used in the morning.
You will need two products, one oil-based and one water-based.
🌄 Usar de manhã para lavar o rosto e preparar a pele para o hidratante.
🌌 Usar à noite como segundo passo de limpeza da pele, para deixar a pele e os poros limpos e livres de impurezas.
🌌 Usar à Noite, como primeiro passo de limpeza de rosto, para remover maquilhagem, protetor solar, vestígios de poluição e sebo.
You have two options:
Option 1 - Choose a more generic moisturizer, suitable for your skin type, that can be used in the morning and at bedtime. (but in this case, you will need to apply sunscreen in the morning)
Option 2 - Use a daytime moisturizer with sun protection and one at night that helps with skin regeneration.
🌄🌌 Use de manhã e à noite, após a sua limpeza. Como este hidratante não tem proteção solar, tem que aplicar um protetor solar de manhã, depois do hidratante.
Um Hidratante para Dia com Proteção Solar 🌄 Use de manhã, depois da limpeza. Assegure-se que cobre bem todo o rosto, pescoço e decote.
Se escolher esta opção, poderá saltar a última etapa deste guia, da Proteção Solar, pois já está a incluir esse passo aqui!
Hidratante de Noite 🌌 Massajar sobre o rosto e pescoço como o último passo do seu ritual nocturno.
If you didn’t opt for two moisturizers, one for the day and one for the night, and prefer to have just one moisturizer, then you need to complement your skincare regimen with sun protection to protect your skin from future damage. This is the last step in your morning routine.
There are several causes for the appearance of pimples, such as genetic factors, external factors (tobacco, alcohol, poor diet or use of incorrect cosmetic products for your skin) or even taking medication such as contraceptives, hormones and antidepressants. Pimples and blackheads can occur on any skin type, but are more common in people with oily skin, even in adulthood.
To treat this type of skin concern, follow your skincare routine religiously, avoid sun exposure and do not pop pimples. Invest in skin treatments such as:
1) A face mask , once or twice a week, like Dermalogica's Charcoal Rescue Detoxifying Mask , Evolve's True Balance SOS Face Mask, or Antipodes' Halo Brightening Mud Face Mask .
2) Gently exfoliate and balance your skin with a toner like Dermalogica's Clear Start Micro-Pore Mist Spray Toner , Evolve's Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Brightening Toner , or Antipodes' Resurrect Clarifying Facial Toner .
3) Invest in an anti-blemish treatment serum like Dermalogica's Clear Start Breakout Clearing Booster , Dermalogica's Active Clearing AGE Bright Spot Fader or Evolve's Rainforest Rescue Detox Serum .
Dehydrated skin lacks water. Any type of skin can be dehydrated, and skin dehydration can be caused by external factors, such as living in a very dry environment, or being exposed to air conditioning or heating. It can also be a consequence of lifestyle habits, such as drinking too little water, smoking or consuming alcohol. The ideal is to correct these external factors. In terms of facial care, try:
1) Add a toner to your routine, such as OSKIA's Pure Rose Floral Water & MSM Toner , SON & PARK's Beauty Water Cleansing, Exfoliating & Moisturizing Toner or Dermalogica's Age Smart Antioxidant Hydramist Toner .
2) Add a face serum , such as DERMALOGICA Skin Hydration Booster , OSKIA Isotonic Hydra-Serum or EVOLVE Natural Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum .
3) Use a face mask once or twice a week, such as DERMALOGICA's Melting Moisture Hydrating Mask or EVOLVE's Bio Retinol Gold Mask .
4) Add a face oil to try to replenish your skin's lipid barrier and retain moisture. For example , Kjaer Weis' The Beautiful Oil or Antipodes' Organic Divine Face Oil .
If your skin has a dull tone, uneven texture and a tired look, you can try adding these options:
1) Try exfoliating your skin once or twice a week (you can do it every day if your skin isn't sensitive) with Antipodes Reincarnation Pure Face Scrub ,Juice to Cleanse Powder Wash or OSKIA Renaissance Mask .
2) Try a brightening serum with Vitamin C , like Antipodes Apostle Skin-Brightening Serum , Oskia Smart Nutrient Beauty Super C Capsule Serum or Dermalogica PowerBright Spot Treatment Serum .
3) Add a brightening face mask once or twice a week, like OSKIA's Renaissance Mask , Evolve's Bio Retinol Gold Mask , or Oskia's Lactic Acid Micro-Peeling Liquid Mask .
All skin types age. This is one of the reasons why you should use sunscreen every day, as it will always be your best preventive weapon. From the age of 25, you can start using anti-aging products to prevent the main signs of aging from appearing. Whether you want to prevent or correct signs of aging that have already appeared, we suggest these options:
1) Add an anti-aging serum to your routine. For example, there is the Oskia Super 16 Serum , the EVOLVE Superfood 360 Anti-Aging Serum , the DERMALOGICA Phyto-Nature Age Smart Firming Serum , or the OSKIA Level 1 Retinoid Night Serum - 0.2% .
2) Add a Face Oil for wrinkle treatment and firming , such as OSKIA Restoration Oil or Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Oil .
We talk about pigmentation spots when the skin pigmentation is uneven. These darker spots are caused by the excess production of melanin by cells called melanocytes and can occur in any skin type, at any age, due to factors such as sun exposure, pregnancy, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (acne or wound healing) or skin aging. To treat skin with spots, try:
1) AHAs , such as Evolve's Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Brightening Toner or Oskia's Lactic Acid Micro-Peeling Liquid Mask .
2) Retinol or Bakuchiol . You can do this in a gentle way, for example by swapping your cleansing gel for Oskia's Renaissance Cleansing Gel and adding Oskia's Restoration Oil to your routine.
3) Add Vitamin C to your routine with a serum , like Oskia's Renaissance Brightlight Anti-Blemish Serum , Dermalogica's Age Smart Biolumin-C Serum , or Evolve's Bio-Retinol + Vitamin C Booster .
4) Try a serum with Niacinamine , like Oskia's City Life Booster Anti-Pollution Concentrate Serum , or Dermalogica's PowerBright Spot Treatment Serum .
5) You can also swap your daytime sunscreen/moisturizer for something more effective in combating dark spots, such as PowerBright Pure Light Anti-Dark Spot Sunscreen SPF50 .
Everyone has dark circles! There is, of course, a genetic factor, but sooner or later we all suffer from this problem. If it is something you want to try to alleviate, although there is no definitive solution and the best solution is to sleep, try using a good eye cream, such as Dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift Eye Cream , Oskia City Life I-Zone Lip and Eye Balm or Dermalogica Age Smart BioLumin-C Eye Serum .
Sensitive skin can be categorized in many ways and for many different reasons. Generally, a diagnosis and treatment by a doctor is always the best option. However, if you know that you have sensitivities, you should take this into account when choosing your products.
In all our skincare collections, you can select the concern "Sensitivity and Redness" which will give you pre-filtered results for this issue.
In any case, we recommend that you also check out Dermalogica's UltraCalming range, which is formulated with the most sensitive skin in mind. Gallinée is also a great brand for those with sensitive skin, as it respects your skin's microbiome and its products are dermatologically tested.
