There are countless people who feel like their skin is confused and can’t make up its mind. Maybe some parts of the face are shiny and greasy, while other parts feel normal or even dry. Many factors can cause combination skin, including hormones, age, genetics, the way in which lipids are organized in the skin and even the weather. Hormonal changes can lead to changes in skin’s oiliness or dryness. Teens and young adults tend to have oilier skin, especially in the T-zone. Also, hormones change due to menstruation and the birth control pill, which can make skin oilier in certain areas. Finally, weather can exacerbate combination skin. Dry cold weather can cause skin to dry out and become irritated. Conversely, hot humid weather can increase oil production, on the T-zone as well as the cheeks.
Combination skin requires special care to balance the oily and dry areas of the face. Proper cleansing, treatment, moisturizing and sun protection are all necessary. Natural treatments such as aromatherapy oils, home-made exfoliants and masks may help treat combination skin. For example, try mixing essential oils like chamomile, lavender and ylang ylang (just a few drops) together with an oil-free moisturizer. These ingredients have antibacterial properties and may help to rid skin of dirt or bacteria.
