SKIN1 Tip of the Day: Caring for Combination Skin.

So you have combination skin which is your face is partly oily and partly dry.  I will offer a few good tips to care for combo skin to keep you looking balanced and good.

Use SKIN1 daily or clarifying cleanser up to twice a day because you need to train your skin to produce oil evenly.  SKIN1 cleansers are mild, non drying formulas that will help train your skin to not over produce oil in the dry areas and under produce oil in the oily areas.

One step that most people neglect or just skip is the toner.  Both men and women should follow the 3 basic rules to skincare.  CLEANSE.TONE.MOISTURIZER.  The function of a non-drying toner is to get the dirt that the cleanser could not get.  SKIN1 clarifying toner is a non-drying formula that will clean the skin but not strip the skin of the essential oils that it need to stay healthy and looking young which is what we are all after.

Use SKIN1 daily moisturizer.  Moisturizers have a couple of  functions they control the rate of water evaporation from your skin and moisturizers add nutrients to the skin to help maintain the elasticity of the skin.

When wearing make-up use oil- absorbing make-up on oily areas to control shine.

Always use a sun protection product with a minimum of SPF 15.  Keep your eye out in late January or early February SKIN1 moisturizer with SPF will be available in an SPF 25 with both traditional  and mineral sunscreens.  Now you’re getting the best of both worlds of SPF.
