WHAT IS IT AND HOW TO TREAT COMBINATION SKIN
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE COMBINATION SKIN?
Combination skin is a skin type that has blemishes and pimples and is characterized by a shiny appearance that appears especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). While the T-zone may have a greasy nose, dilated pores and shiny skin, it is possible that the rest of the face such as the cheek area appears dehydrated and in some cases dry.
This type of skin is very often present in adolescents and young people as the production of sebum is controlled by hormones. However, even mature skin can have combination skin characterized by the presence of oily skin in some parts of the face. Very often the mistake that is made is to use products for oily skin all over the face, not taking into consideration the fact that these products can excessively dry out other areas where the skin is different. It is therefore essential to choose specific skincare products suited to treating this type of skin.
ARE IMPURE SKIN AND COMBINATION SKIN THE SAME THING?
It is often thought that impure skin is synonymous with combination skin, but in reality they are two different conditions. Impure skin can in fact be shiny all over the face as well as having pimples, blackheads and an irregular grain caused by impurities.
JEU DES GARCONS SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR COMBINATION SKIN
Many people wonder what the best skincare products are to take care of combination skin. If you too are wondering what the best cream or serum for combination skin is, you are in the right place!
The first fundamental step is to cleanse the face through the use of a specific cleanser for combination skin such as the Extra Cleansing Mousse by Jeu des Garçons. This facial cleanser gently eliminates impurities without altering the natural balance of the skin. It is perfect for everyday cleansing. It contains a pool of hydrating active ingredients including Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin E and Coconut Oil. The skin will look better: fresh, soft and bright.
The second fundamental step to carry out a correct skincare routine for combination skin is to choose a face cream that makes it better by reducing the annoying shiny effect of the T-zone hydrating at the same time the skin of the rest of the face. A perfect face cream for combination skin, but also suitable for oily and impure skin, is PP+Cream, a 24-hour emulsion cream capable of reducing shine on the face, illuminating and evening out the skin texture. The Niacinamide contained in its formula has a sebum-regulating action by regulating excessive sebum production and the Sebum-absorbing Powder reduces the effect of greasy skin. High molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid has a hydrating action and a Complex of Amino Acids revitalizes and evens out the skin.
A complementary treatment to be applied 1 - 2 times a week to also allow yourself a moment of relaxation is certainly the P+Mask purifying and hydrating fabric face mask. This is a specific mask for combination/oily and impure skin in 100% Cellulose fabric that through the pool of active ingredients in its formulation performs both a purifying and hydrating action. It is ideal for combating dilated pores on the face and blackheads as well as fighting skin dehydration. The mask contains medium molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid (hydrating and humectant), Aloe Vera juice (decongesting, calming and hydrating), Vegetable Carbon (purifying) and Silver Zeolite (purifying and antimicrobial action).
How to use the P+Mask? Just apply the fabric mask to your cleansed face and neck and leave on for 15 - 20 minutes. Once the mask is removed, massage the remaining liquid until completely absorbed.
