Matching and choosing the correct skin care
line or products is sometimes confusing at best.
Quality skin care lines of products have
different items in order to match the correct and suitable products for
particular skin types.
Skin care products in general are divided
into types directed for specific skin types:
Skin care products for dry skin, for oily
skin for mature skin, acne skin and for combination skin care
products. What
are combination skin care products,
what makes them unique? What type of product are out there.
Combination type skin in most cases relates
to facial skin that is divided into different conditions. Some of the areas of
the face would usually be normal to dry, others may be oily most of the time or
during certain times / seasons in the year.
The most common condition of combination
skin is when the skin in general is dry but a certain area known as the “T
ZONE” is oily at times mostly during the summer. I must add that in some cases
the appearance and the disappearance of a “T ZONE” are directly influenced by the
age of the skin.
What is a “T ZONE” and where is it on the face?
A “T ZONE” is a direct line across the forehead and down vertically from the centre of the forehead down to the nose bridge and the nose area, the area of the nose is usually affected as that is the area where the largest pores are.
A “T ZONE” is easily identified by the small red like marks which are a result of oiliness of the skin as well as accelerated sebum secretion.
The causes a “T ZONE” are many, they include among others, in the case of teenagers or adolescence, hot and humid working environment, hormonal changes, moving to reside in a different climate, genetics , specific types of food – degree of oils used in cooking and what type of oils. Certain types of medication as well as different types of illness may all be contributing factors to having a combination type skin.
Some of the geographical reasons are living by the coast and not in a dry area.
People that have combination type skin sometimes tend in the winter to have dry skin depending on other factors.
Combination skin care products are usually oil free. Sea of Spa Black Pearl has a variety of products that fall under this category such as Sea of Spa Black Pearl Light Day Cream which is Oil Free as well as other combination skin care products such as Sea of Spa Black Pearl Mousse Cleanser.
Among Dr. Kadir Laboratories top combination skin care products are the entire Light E+C series which is completely oily free.
