In this article , lets talk about normal-combination skin

Normal Skin

Normal skin is neither too oily nor too dry. It has balanced sebum production and good blood circulation. This means it is well-balanced. It is neither too oily nor too dry. Normal skin tends to have balanced pH levels and sebum production.

  • Smooth texture
  • Fine pores
  • No sensitivity
  • No blemishes
  • Few or no breakouts

How To Take Care of Normal Skin

Your skin needs to be taken care of too. If you have normal skin, you don’t have to go all out with a skincare routine. However, you should make it a point to stay healthy, hydrated and follow a basic  natural skincare regimen.

1. Stay Hydrated

If you don’t drink enough water throughout the day, your skin may dry up and start getting flaky. It can also lead to excess sebum production.

2. Wear Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a must for overall skin health maintenance. Direct sun exposure can dry up your skin, cause wrinkles and dark patches. A mineral  sunscreen is recommended to avoid clogging skin pores. (mineral = based on zink oxid)

3. Moisturize

Moisturizers are a must for any skin type. They keep the skin moist and prevent it from overproducing sebum. Try Pure Normal SKin Face Cream .

4. Remove Your Makeup Before Sleeping

Makeup can clog pores and lead to breakouts. You want to avoid that by taking it off after a long day. Never go to bed with make up, whatever skin type you have!

Even if you don’t wear makeup, clean your face every night before you sleep. Dirt and bacteria from outside can clog pores. so after the make up remover, use a natural cleanser for normal skin

What Causes Combination Skin?

A. Genetics

If any of your parents and other family members have combination skin, you may have it too.

B. Products

Sometimes, harsh products can cause a change in skin type and contribute to excess sebum production in the T-zone. or just irritate the skin and cause redness. 

C. Climate

You may see a change in your skin type depending on the change in the climate. For example, summers may make your skin oily. Your skin may feel dry during the winter months.

Tips For Combination Skin

1. Use Cleansers

If you have combination skin, the pores in your T-zone are larger than the rest of your face.  Using a gentle, natural  cleanser is recommended.

2. Exfoliate Gently And Once in A While

Exfoliating every day isn’t recommended for any skin type. It can remove necessary oils from your skin. Scrubbing too hard can damage your skin. You can try Pure Gentle scrub or make of the DIY recipe you can find here

3. Wear Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a must-have skincare product. Choose a mineral (based on zinc oxide) sunscreen if you have combination skin.

4. Maintain Two Separate Skin Care Routines

Products that work for dry skin may be harsh on oily skin. Follow a separate skincare regimen for your T-zone. Don’t use the same products for your T-zone and the rest of your face.
