It is better to use mild cleaners like our Cleansing Oil or Cleansing Gel. And before you ask yourself whether oil is out of place on oily skin: No, the combination of oils and gentle sugar surfactants bind excess sebum, dirt and even make-up, and Cleanse very thoroughly, but without stripping the skin. The Cleansing Gel is lighter in texture and soothes the skin right from the first step of your routine with the chamomile extract it contains.
2nd tip: Zone care - respond to the needs of your combination skin
As mentioned at the beginning, you cannot necessarily use the same product for your entire face. This is definitely possible in the first step of cleanser . But when it comes to creams and serums, your skin has two faces. Actives from serums or moisturizers like our hyaluronic acid Concentrate moisturize your entire face. However, make sure to limit richer creams to your cheeks. The area around your eyes also deserves a separate Eye Cream. The aim is to provide dry skin with sufficient nutrients and moisture, while rebalancing and moisturizing the T-zone. We have put together a special combination skin skincare set for precisely these needs, the components of which I will introduce to you in more detail in this article.
3rd tip: Fruit acid - AHA peeling
The so-called alpha-hydroxy acid sounds very dangerous at first, but it is not at all. With our AHA peeling you have a gentle fruit acid peeling that you can use two to three times a week in the evening as a leave-on product. So please don't rinse-off! It penetrates deep into the layers of the skin and moisturizes it, while at the same time having a regenerating effect by promoting the breakdown of excess sebum and dead skin cells. Both the oily and dry areas of your face benefit from this effect.
4th tip: Oil at combination skin? Yes, but not every one!
At first, it sounds like exactly what you shouldn't do: use a facial oil on oily skin. But not all oils are the same. The decisive factor here is the degree of comedogenicity. This describes whether it has a pore-clogging effect or not. With Jojoba Oil for example, has a comedogenicity level of 1, which is why it is well suited for skin care. Even for oily skin. It binds sebum without clogging your pores and regulates the production of sebum. As oily skin tends to overproduce sebum, it helps to bring this process back into balance with Jojoba Oil .
Another oil, which is also particularly suitable for oily skin, is our Squalane - Incidentally, it is also included in the combination skin set. Squalane is already a natural component of our skin and is the lightest of our oils. Even though our oil is extracted from olives, it is so similar in structure to the skin's own squalene that it is wonderfully absorbed and tolerated by the skin. This signals to your skin that it does not need to produce any more sebum and the moisture balance is evened out. As a binding agent, it channels the Actives of your skincare even better and deeper into the skin.
5th tip: Treat pimples in a targeted manner instead of focusing your routine on blemishes
If you frequently have to deal with blemishes on your combination skin , it is important that you treat them selectively. Don't go straight for aggressive "anti-pimple" cleansers, serums or toners. These often contain bad alcohols, potential allergens and other ingredients that are more likely to harm the skin in the long term than help it. It is better to treat pimples directly, for example with the Spot cream.
It only dries out pimples where they are and does not affect the entire facial skin. With our Spot cream and the zinc oxide it contains, you can take care of these unpleasant companions in several ways. It has an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effect, inhibits the inflammatory reaction and helps pimples to subside more quickly. The blue camomile oil supports the healing process of your skin. After all, a pimple is nothing more, but also nothing less than an inflammation.
6th tip: Seasonal routines - winter and summer skin needs more flexible care
You may have noticed it yourself: your skin behaves differently in winter and summer. While in summer you rely more on moisturizers such as aloe vera gel and hyaluronic acid Concentrate your skin needs richer care in winter, such as day or night cream. It's no different at combination skin . So keep an eye on your skin as the seasons change and adjust your routine accordingly.
7th tip: Antioxidants
Antioxidants are what protect our skin from free radicals, the attackers of our skin cells, Protect. They strengthen the skin's protective barrier, prevent cell damage and even increase protection against UV radiation. For your daily dose of antioxidants, we recommend one of our Vitamin C seren (Intensive or Sensitive). Vitamin C works anti-inflammatory, redness and pigmentation spots are visibly reduced and blemishes or spots heal faster. It also supports the formation of vitamin E and collagen, the scaffolding of our skin. A serum that will help balance your skin and protect it from environmental influences.
For that extra dose, you can treat yourself to Antioxidant Mask treat yourself and your skin to some time out.
