Combination skin is classified by having both oily and dry regions on the face. If you have combination skin, you may notice that your T-zone area (forehead, nose and chin) gets oily rather quickly, while your cheeks and other parts of your face remain dry. This is because your T-zone contains active sebaceous glands that produce more sebum.
Most women with combination skin also have enlarged pores along the T-zone, and if left untreated, these pores may become clogged and acne-prone.
The key to treating combination skin is all about striking a healthy balance between the oily and dry regions of the face. The right skincare products will leave a positive impact on the skin, so shop for plant-based skincare products that are specifically formulated to address the concerns of combination skin.
Face masks are excellent treatments for combination skin because they’re enriched with nourishing properties to hydrate and soften the skin. Some face masks are also made with pore-minimising and shine-control benefits to keep your complexion looking fresh and smooth.
It’s essential to stay away from face masks containing alcohol or harsh chemicals, as those can strip away your skin’s natural oils and trigger irritations. Look for plant-based masks with ingredients that are specifically designed to treat combination skin.
At Clarins, our face masks for combination skin are created with advanced technology and high-performing botanical ingredients sourced from around the globe to deliver effective results without harming your skin.
Treat your skin to our Cryo-Flash Cream-Mask, inspired by the latest cryotherapy techniques that utilises the benefits of extreme cold to improve your skin by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots, while simultaneously enhancing skin density and promoting radiance.
This treatment mask suits combination skin perfectly because it doesn’t clog the pores or leave a greasy residue. Organic Evening Primrose, Edelweiss, Horse Chestnut and Quinoa extracts refresh the skin, boost cell regeneration and prevent the first signs of ageing, giving you a youthful glow from within.
Reduce that greasy shine with the SOS Pure Mask, a rebalancing clay mask for combination skin that lifts away impurities and excess sebum so your pores can breathe better. This non-drying mask also helps to tighten large pores, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and smoother after just 10 minutes.
If sagging skin is a concern, try our anti-ageing V-Facial Intensive Wrap. Ginkgo and Chinese Barley extracts drain excess water and toxins from your face to give you a slimmer jawline and a brighter complexion.
Want a sleeping mask that repairs your skin overnight? The My Clarins RE-CHARGE Relaxing Sleep Mask is the facial equivalent of a night-time herbal tea that soothes, moisturises and revives your skin as you sleep. Fig, Alpenrose, Acerola, Coconut and Huang Qi extracts work to bring balance and hydration to your complexion, so you can wake up to soft, radiant skin by morning.
For the best results, skincare experts recommend using a face mask for combination skin once or twice a week. Be sure to cleanse, exfoliate and tone your skin before applying your face mask. Apart from sleeping masks that are formulated to replenish the skin overnight, most face masks can be rinsed off after 10 minutes.
To apply, place a small amount of the product between your fingers, and then gently apply it to your face and neck, being careful to distribute the formula evenly across your skin while avoiding the eye contour area.
