THE 5 MOST COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT COMBINATION SKIN
Do you feel like your combination skin is pretty complicated? We also know: that’s true! Many people struggle to get their combination skin under control from a young age. But don't panic - if you know a few basics about your skin, taking care of it can be easy! We give you the answers to the 5 most frequently asked questions!
1. HOW DO I KNOW I HAVE COMBINATION SKIN?
Combination skin is basically a combination of two skin types on your face.
This is how you recognize them: Do you have enlarged pores, your T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) is shiny and prone to imperfections? But at the same time there is dryness and feelings of tension on the cheeks and side areas? Then you now know: you have classic combination skin.
What is the cause? In the oily areas, your busy sebaceous glands work much harder than they should - and in the dry areas, they don't produce enough sebum.
2. HOW DO I CORRECTLY CLEAN COMBINATION SKIN?
Are you already faced with the first challenge when cleaning combination skin? No wonder - the T-zone needs to be degreased to prevent pimples and impurities - but at the same time no moisture should be removed from the dry areas. The simple solution: a particularly mild cleaning with a Cleansing gel, which has no drying effect on the skin. And a good toner, which then removes the remaining dirt particles, water and lime deposits and has a pore-refining effect thanks to its astringent (“contracting”) effect.
3. HOW DO I CARE FOR COMBINATION SKIN?
people with Combination skin are faced with the challenge of balancing their skin with different products. Instead of combating sebum production, it is recommended to target the individual facial zones with appropriate care products.
Mattify oily areas:
In the T-zone, the skin tends to have excess sebum and shine. The Vitamin C serum concentrate clarifies the skin, visibly refines the pores and at the same time provides intensive moisture.
Maintain dry regions:
Dry areas need extra care! The Vitamin C+ serum-in-cream combines vitamin C with nourishing lipids.

💡Our SOS tip: If you're annoyed by a greasy T-zone during the day, use blotting paper to remove excess oil instead of using a heavy powder.
5. WHAT CAN I DO IN EVERYDAY LIFE?
