How Your Skin Can Be Dry AND Oily
Posted on: March 30, 2015
Many Individuals Have Combination Skin
There are several skin types, including dry, oily and normal. However, many individuals have combination skin, leading to having facial skin that is oily in some locations such as the forehead and dry in other areas such as the cheeks. Oily skin has overactive sebaceous glands while dry skin has underactive sebaceous glands. Skin care for combination skin is more complicated because it requires buying more facial products.
Shopping for Facial Products is Complicated
Shopping for skin products is confusing due to the large number of brands available at brick-and-mortar and online stores. A shopper with skin that is a combination of oily and dry must choose skin care products carefully to avoid creating patchy areas on their face and body that are unattractive. At the same time, using hydrating moisturizers can lead to excessive oil, acne and shininess on the nose and forehead.
Seek Advice from a Professional Aesthetician
A great solution for anyone with combination skin is asking a professional aesthetician for advice. Visiting a spa for an evaluation of the skin and a soothing facial is a great way to eliminate dryness and oiliness at the same time. Skin treatments at spas are an excellent way to prevent clogged pores on the forehead and nose from excess oil but hydrate the facial cheeks and areas around the eyes.
Schedule Skin Care Spa Treatments
Regular spa treatments such as facials, body wraps and hair removal are excellent ways to keep combination skin looking its best. Aestheticians are trained in understanding how to provide skin treatments for different skin types on female and male clients. An aesthetician can provide recommendations on the best cleansers and lotions to buy to keep dry skin moist while reducing shininess on oily areas of the face and body.
