It's the turn for Combination Skin


Combination skin has patches of both dry and oily skin, and it requires different types of care in relation to particular facial areas.
Dry zones, which are usually located on the cheeks and around the eyes, should be treated with rich creams and moisturizers, while oily areas, usually on the forehead and nose, will benefit from frequent and thorough cleaning.
A friend of mine read my previous post and ask me whether it's suitable for her to use the two products if she have combination skin.
Yep. The two products is suitable but, the amount used is different in different areas.
Both the dry and greasy areas need moisturizing, but the oily part need just a thin layer while the dry part you may apply a thicker layer..

For combination skins, we should use facial cleanser with less soap (gel type) or foam because in the early morning,because our skin is not too dirty or oily when we wake up. If we use facial foams, the natural sebum secreted by our skin will be washed off, which may cause dryness and tightness to our skin.
As for the night, we may use foams because after the whole day, our skin will trap a lot of dust and dirts in our pores. Foams and bubbles can help us wash them out thoroughly.
