However, here are some simple invaluable tips that will help maintain the right balance in combination skin care routine so that you look fresh and healthy always.

You must remain very careful while taking care of combination skin, because you need to keep a check on both the oiliness and dryness of such skin. Cosmetic or makeup products that will work well on the oily areas will probably cause considerable damage to the dry or normal areas, and vice versa.

Make sure you use only such skincare products that are designed specifically to suit the demands of combination skin. Besides, follow the simple tips given below to care for your skin from without and within.

1. Do not over-wash your skin, else you risk stripping the skin of its natural oils.

2. Avoid using rich moisturizers; opt for oil-free, lighter moisturizers instead, which have non-pore-blocking action. A good choice can be a lotion containing silicon oils, which hydrate the skin without making it excessive oily.

3. Take special care of the T-zone of your face. Keep a check on the extra oil in this area by using gentle cleansers and moisturizers, meant for combination skin.

4. Apply a mild toner on the T-zone to help keep the skin non-greasy.

5. Make sure you remain gentle on the oily areas while exfoliating.

6. Use a gel mask for rejuvenating combination skin. You can make a homemade clay mask for the oily T-zone, and a cream mask for the drier areas.

7. Drink plenty of water and follow a balanced diet consisting of adequate fruits, vegetables, and grains.
