Skin Care Routine For Combination Skin In Summer

What is combination skin?

Simply put, combination skin refers to the type of skin that is both oily and dry. This skin type is usually caused due to environmental toxins, physical stress, and hormonal fluctuations. Women with combination skin usually have an oily area on the nose, chin and forehead, also known as the T-zone. The rest of their face including their cheeks and jaw tend to dry up easily. This means that you have to specially build a skincare regime that suits both the concerns.

Summer skin care routine for combination skin

The key to finding the right combination skincare routine in summer is to maintain a balance between products that suit both skin types i.e., oily and dry. Follow this step-by-step guide to maintain optimum health of your skin during summers:

Step 1: Deep cleansing

Cleansing is an essential step in the skincare routine for combination skin in summer. It is important to choose the right cleanser that is gentle on your dry areas of the skin and effective enough to remove dirt and grime from the oily parts of your skin. Look for a foam or a gel-based facewash that can help unclog pores and reduce oiliness from your skin. You can add the Bright Complete Vitamin C gel facewash to your summer skin care routine for combination skin. It is a silicone-free and paraben-free facewash formulated with a lightweight gel formula. Infused with vitamin C and lemon, this facewash is gentle on your skin and eliminates dirt, dust and grime from your combination skin with ease.

Step 2: Use a serum to hydrate your skin

Using a serum is the next step in the summer skincare routine for combination skin. They are lightweight, fast absorbing liquids that contain active ingredients that target specific skin concerns. Choose a serum that has a non-greasy formula and absorbs into the skin quickly. The Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum is designed to treat dull skin, pigmentation and dark spots. It is infused with vitamin C, yuzu lemon extract, niacinamide and salicylic acid that help you get maximum skin benefits.

Step 3: Try multi-masking

Multi masking refers to using different types of sheet masks for different areas of your skin at the same time. You can choose masks according to the skin type and apply these sheet masks on those areas. For instance, you can use the 5-Min Purifying Ampoule Mask for oily skin as a part of your combination skincare routine in summer. It is infused with niacinamide and kale that help reduce excess sebum production and blemishes on your skin. On the other hand, the 5-Min Replumping Ampoule Mask for Dry Skin is ideal for the dry areas on your skin. It is infused with hyaluronic acid and watermelon that has a super hydrating effect on your skin.

Step 4: Apply a moisturiser

Even though its summer season, you cannot skip using a moisturiser. Considering your skin has dry areas, it’s vital to lock in enough moisture to avoid any skin concerns. It is often challenging to find a moisturiser that suits both skin types. You can mix and match moisturisers by using a lightweight moisturiser on your oily areas and a thicker cream on your dry areas. Alternately, you can also use a lightweight moisturiser that suits both skin types and avoid using a lot on your oily areas. The Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cream UV is an ideal product for combination skin. Add this moisturiser to your skincare routine for combination skin in summer and achieve spotless skin in no time.

Step 5: Protect your skin from sun exposure

It goes without saying that using sun protection is a must during summer. UV exposure can cause premature ageing, black spots, and even skin cancer. Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreen with at least SPF 30 or above for combination skin. Even on cloudy days, apply sunscreen to your face and neck and reapply every two hours if you're outdoors. Add the Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cream with SPF 40/PA+++ to your skin care routine for your combination skin in summer for sun protection. It protects your skin from tanning, dark spots and sun burns. It is enriched with yuzu lemon and vitamin C that help in hydrating your skin along with providing sun protection.
