Watch this space for upcoming Guides to other skin types but today we will cover all aspects of Combination Skin.
What is Combination Skin?
Typically, combination skin is when some parts of your face are dry or flaky, while the center part of your face, nose, chin, and forehead (called the T-zone) is oily. Combination skin can also describe conditions where wrinkles and breakouts or rosacea and dry skin are present at the same time.
Products for combination skin:
Combination skin requires balancing the dry and oily areas of your skin to promote an even complexion. Our organic skin care collection contains all of the essential elements to achieve this delicate balance. As all of our daily care products are rebalancing, they are perfectly suitable for combination skin. Rebalancing means making the skin's natural balance healthy and eliminating the condition of combination skin. All of our natural skin care products are free from harsh ingredients such as SLS and drying alcohol (ethanol/ethyl alcohol), which can create even more excessive extremes for combination skin.

Causes & Tips for Combination Skin:
Your skin may be aggravated by changes in the weather, climate, diet, exercise and emotional well-being.
◦ Use a gentle cleanser that does not leave skin feeling tight or dry
◦ If you use a toner, opt for an alcohol-free, water-based kind which contains antioxidants and moisture-binding plant actives.
◦ Treat dry areas (including around the eyes) with a moisturiser containing antioxidants, moisture-binding plant actives and ingredients that mimic the structure and function of healthy skin. A serum-type product may be all your dry areas need to look and feel better. More extreme dryness will benefit from an antioxidant-rich serum rather than an emollient moisturiser.
Diet for combination skin:
◦ Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables and fresh fruits.
◦ A deficiency of vitamin B2 can cause oily skin. Good sources include brewer's yeast, whole grains, beans and nuts.
◦ Buckwheat, black beans and whole rice are rich in iron, which can rejuvenate the skin.
◦ Add plenty of Omega-3 fatty acids to your diet.
◦ Drink filtered water to both keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins.
◦ Avoid saturated and hydrogenated fats, fired and highly seasoned foods, soft drinks, alcohol, sugar, excessive caffeine, chocolate and junk food.
