How to tell if you have combination skin?
Local test and observation method <br>Observation timing: 40 minutes after washing the face before skin care or after getting up in the morning and before washing the face
Test method: Use oil-absorbing tissue and gently press it several times on the T -shaped area ( forehead, nose, mandible ) and cheeks.
If you find that the T -zone is obviously oily, and your cheeks are dry without obvious oiliness or dryness, you may have "combination skin", which is also the category with the highest proportion of all skin conditions in Taiwan. Among them, Divided into mixed and oily, mixed and dry.
Common Skin Conditions for Combination Skin
Combination skin can be divided into dry and combination skin, and oily and combination skin.
Mixed to dry: The T -zone of the skin is prone to oiliness and has significantly larger and greasier pores than other parts of the skin. The cheeks are prone to tightness, dryness and roughness, and even peeling.
Mixed oily skin: Easily confused with oily skin. Only some areas of the skin are prone to oil production and have significantly larger pores and are greasier than other areas. Other areas are less oily and have no dryness issues.
Three major maintenance strategies for combination skin to find the oil-water balance point in different parts
Countermeasure 1: Cleaning, the zeroth step of maintenance:
When cleaning the skin on a daily basis, you can start from the T -shaped area that is prone to oil, and gradually bring it to other areas. Target the oily areas as appropriate and increase the number of daily cleansing and washing to keep the pores clear and clean. For dry or tight skin, If the area is stretched, the cleaning and rubbing time can be shortened to avoid over-cleaning.
Strategies for partitioning and weight management and maintenance:
Through maintenance testing and observation, we can understand the skin problems in different areas of the skin. For different areas, there should be different maintenance steps and dosages.
In response to excessive oil production in the T -zone and troubled pores, etc., be sure to clean it properly before maintenance, and reduce the amount of oil-based products by one-third during the maintenance steps; for normal or prone to dryness and tight areas, except for In addition to moderate cleansing, strengthen moisturizing and wet compresses to replenish the skin's moisture content, and through appropriate use of oil, strengthen the moisturizing skin barrier and water-locking layer.
Strategy 3: Adjust maintenance methods according to seasons
People with combination skin need to pay more attention to the skin changes brought about by the seasons. If the skin produces less oil in a drier environment or climate, you can adjust the use of oil-based skin care products ( face creams, skin care oils ) The amount is even increased by one-third compared with daily maintenance in dry areas to maintain the skin's moisture and barrier functions, properly maintain health, and maintain oil and water balance.
