Mixed skin care

You may have had trouble determining exactly which skin type you belong to. In some places you have shiny, sometimes dry skin, a little stretching and it may be difficult to cope with the weather. We are not talking about something unique. There are very few skins that clearly carry the characteristics of one skin type. This is why specialists also analyze so-called combination skin type. They are characterized by a more oily shine along the forehead, nose and chin, and dry, sometimes rough to the touch on both sides of the cheeks and around the eyes. It is commonly characterized by skin tension, which is caused by a serious lack of water.

The reasons for its development are multifaceted. It is mostly genetic, i.e. inherited, but we can also seriously influence its condition with our diet and lifestyle.

How to care for combination skin?

A properly established daily routine can help balance out problems.

Choose a light but thoroughly cleansing cleanser, because maximum removal of dirt and daily makeup is an essential part of effective facial care. On contaminated skin, the active ingredients cannot be absorbed. When washing it off, it is important to pay attention to increasing the hydration of our skin.

It may contain the wash-off Aloe vera (e.g. JimJams Aloe Vera Foaming Remover Gel», Urea or Panthenol to take care of this.

Use a care tonic! Here, too, make sure that your tonic does not contain irritating ingredients, especially alcohol with a drying effect, because although alcohol gives the skin a matte appearance at first, in the long run it can upset its balance and intensify sebum function, further enhancing the previously unloved gloss on the face. Not to mention already dry skin areas, where it is definitely not advisable to intensify it further. It is worth choosing a product containing emollient, water-binding and antioxidant ingredients.

Let’s exfoliate! It is advisable not to apply it daily, but once a week, as dead corneal cells on our skin hinder skin breathing, thus reinforcing problems. It is more effective to use combined scrubs, where not only the granules help to dissolve the exfoliation, but also the acids contained in them, since they loosen the bonds between cells and help renew the skin. Be careful to avoid direct sunlight or use sunscreen after exfoliation.

In the problem area use pore cleansing products. Today, you can find easy-to-use so-called pore cleansing patches on the shelves, which are glued to the surface of the skin to ensure the removal of discolored blackheads in one motion. It is quick and practical, but remember that for more problematic skins it does not replace the work of a specialist. An effective and fast solution is provided by JimJams Pore Cleansing Patch».

Prepare the skin if it is very dehydrated. Just as dried soil cannot absorb fluid, neither can the skin. At first, it is worth soaking it with a smaller amount of water so that it is able to retain liquid. Serums are suitable for this, which, thanks to their light consistency, are quickly absorbed, pre-hydrating the skin. More and more brands also offer so-called skin preparation and activation gels, which are specially designed to easily enter and prepare the skin due to their structure, ensuring more efficient absorption of creams. By using JimJams Aloe Hyaluron Extra Activation Gel», the skin is replenished with moisture and becomes firmer and firmer.

Use a variety of face creams. For drier areas of the face, feel free to use a full-bodied moisturizer, and for the T-line, choose a lightweight, gel-like product. In the evening, choose a cream containing more nutritious skin-building vitamins.

Protect yourself from harmful rays! Sun protection is equally important for all skin types, using a good sunscreen every day can protect the skin from premature wrinkles and protect against skin cancer.

Get a good eye cream! Although the T-line does not need creams with a rich texture and can make your eye area feel dry, you should never miss out on sensitive skin. Wrinkles around the eyes appear first, and people with combination skin are no exception, pay due attention to prevention.
