Combination Skin Type: Finding a Routine That Hydrates and Balances

Combination skin is one of the most common skin types , but also one of the most complex to manage. It combines oily areas, often located on the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), and dry or normal areas on the rest of the face. Finding a skincare routine that effectively hydrates without weighing down or exacerbating excess oil problems can seem like a real headache. In this article, we will explore the characteristics of combination skin , its specific needs, and how to adopt a skincare routine adapted to balance and hydrate this skin type . We will also highlight the benefits of LActive products, designed to offer an optimal solution for combination skin.

What is combination skin?

Combination skin is characterized by areas of the face with different needs:

• Oily areas : The T-zone is prone to excess sebum, which can cause shine, enlarged pores and sometimes blemishes.

• Dry or normal areas : Cheeks, temples and eye area may show signs of dryness or dehydration.

This duality makes combination skin particularly demanding in terms of care. Using products that are too rich can weigh down oily areas and cause breakouts, while products that are too drying can make normal or dry areas even more dry.

The specific difficulties of combination skin

Managing combination skin can be frustrating. Here are the most common issues:

• Dehydration : Dry areas can lack water, making skin look uncomfortable and dull.

• Shine : Oily areas produce excess sebum, especially at the end of the day.

• Sensitivity : combination skin can react to products that are too aggressive.

This is why a specific routine , which respects these varied needs while providing balanced hydration, is essential.

A complete routine to hydrate and balance combination skin

1. Gentle but effective cleaning

Always start with a proper cleanse to remove impurities without disturbing the skin's natural balance. Opt for a gentle, soap-free cleansing gel or micellar water to regulate sebum while preserving the hydration of dry areas.

👉 Tip : Cleanse your skin twice a day (morning and evening). Avoid water that is too hot, which can dry out the skin and stimulate sebum production.

2. Targeted exfoliation

Gentle exfoliation once or twice a week helps unclog pores in the T-zone while removing dead cells from dry areas. You can opt for chemical exfoliants based on acids (AHA or BHA), which can be less aggressive than grain scrubs.

3. Specific serums for combination skin

Serum is a key element to treat targeted problems. LActive multi-function serum is formulated with hydrating and rebalancing active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and natural antioxidants . It deeply hydrates without weighing down, while helping to regulate sebum production.

👉 Tip : Apply the serum by lightly tapping on the face then massaging for optimal absorption.

4. Customized hydration with a light cream

Hydration is essential for all skin types , including oily skin. LActive Moisturizing Cream offers a lightweight texture that nourishes without clogging pores. Enriched with rebalancing active ingredients such as CBD and vitamin E , it brings comfort and radiance to dry areas while mattifying oily areas.

👉 Tip : Apply morning and evening to maintain hydration throughout the day.

5. Daily sun protection

The sun can exacerbate combination skin problems by stimulating sebum production and drying out dry areas. Opt for a non-comedogenic sunscreen with a fluid texture to avoid any feeling of heaviness.

6. Adapted weekly masks

For a deep treatment, apply a purifying clay mask to the T-zone and a hydrating mask to dry areas. This multi-mask approach allows you to treat each part of the face according to its needs.

Additional tips for combination skin

💧 Don't skip moisturizing : Even oily areas need to be moisturized. A lack of hydration can cause combination skin to produce even more oil.

🍂 Adapt your routine according to the seasons : winter can accentuate dryness in normal areas, while summer promotes increased sebum production. Adjust your products accordingly.
