We all adopt many methods to take care of the skin. Not only this, we also use different types of skin care products available in the market. But the most important thing is that you take care keeping your skin type in mind. Generally, it is easy to take care of dry or oily skin, whereas combination skin needs extra care.
The T-zone of this type of skin is oily, while the rest of the skin is dry. Therefore, it is very common to make mistakes while taking care of this skin. So, today in this article we are telling you about some such small combination skin care mistakes, which you should avoid-
Using harsh cleansers
Cleaning is very important to take care of the skin. But if you have combination skin then you may make a mistake while choosing a cleanser. If you use harsh cleanser while taking care of combination skin, it strips the skin of its natural oil. In such a situation, your T-zone becomes even oilier. On the other hand, dry skin becomes even drier. Therefore, always use a gentle cleanser on the skin.
Messing up exfoliation
If your skin type is a combination, then you should be a little extra careful regarding exfoliation. When you exfoliate your skin excessively, it can cause skin irritation. At the same time, if it is not exfoliated then dead skin cells accumulate and the pores of the T-zone get clogged. Therefore, you should exfoliate your skin only once a week. You can use a gentle exfoliator for this.
Ignoring spot treatment
It is common for some areas to be acne-prone in combination with skin. But often we ignore it whereas in reality spot treatment is very important in combination skin. To prevent the rest of your skin from becoming too dry, do spot treatment only on blemishes etc.
Avoiding sunscreen
It is seen that while taking care of combination skin, we avoid sunscreen. Due to this, there is a negative effect on the skin. But you should keep in mind that sunscreen is necessary for every skin type. To protect your skin from UV damage, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
Using hot water
The temperature of water also matters a lot while taking care of combination skin. If you use hot water during this time, it may cause harm to your combination skin. Hot water can strip away the natural oils from your skin and make it dry. Therefore, you should use lukewarm water for cleaning.
So now you too, while taking care of your combination skin, avoid these small mistakes and get beautiful and healthy skin.
