Best Combination Skin Face Moisturizers

There are people with dry skin and people with oily skin. Then, somewhere in the middle, there are people with combination (mixed) skin. 

Having combination skin can be very confusing. 

Even more confusing can be choosing the right products for your face, especially moisturizers. A wrong moisturizer might make your skin dry or produce excessive sebum. Either way, this might lead to acne, eczema, and other skin issues. 

What does combination skin look like exactly?

Combination skin typically feels dry outside of the T-zone, which is comprised of your forehead, nose, and chin. If you observe two or more different textures on your face, you likely have combination skin. It can also be oily and dry in separate places.

Is it necessary to moisturize combination skin?

Let’s clear up some things. People often confuse moisture with oil, stopping them from moisturizing their skin. It may seem counterproductive to use a moisturizer when your face is overproducing natural oils. However, your oily skin may simply be pleading for moisture.

Without a good moisturizer, the dry areas of your skin will be extremely dry, and the oily parts will explode in acne by over-producing sebum. Remember that just like our bodies need water to stay hydrated and energetic, so does our skin!

So, how do you moisturize combination skin?

Some dermatologists suggest people use two types of moisturizers for different face areas. One moisturizer for the dry areas and another for the oily ones. Sounds like a lot of work, doesn’t it?

Well, fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this tiring. Other dermatologists agree that an all-in-one moisturizer can do the job perfectly. Therefore, we have picked the best moisturizers for your beautiful combination skin!

Hydrator cream vs Moisturizer: Is there any difference? 

In the beauty industry, the words moisturizing and hydrating are frequently used interchangeably. They aren't quite the same thing, though, as one includes water and the other oil. Simply put, moisturizers contain oils that help to lock in moisture, whilst hydration binds water to your skin. 

Now, let’s get you the BEST moisturizer for your combination skin!

The products below are non-comedogenic, meaning that they are not likely to clog pores or result in acne. For happy and healthy skin, you need a solution that is lightweight and not greasy, soothing, and yet still moisturizing. Below are our top products that offer these qualities and more.

AXXZIA AG Theory Moist Veil Emulsion

Human skin and squalane have a similar chemical makeup. Because of this, its molecules are easily integrated into your skin's lipid layer and reinforce it, reducing moisture loss.

Tocopherol (natural vitamin E) enhances skin tone, flushes out pollutants, and

processes of skin renewal are stimulated.

The deep layers of the epidermis are penetrated by hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, which also encourages collagen formation. These actions serve to moisturize your skin's surface and deeper layers.

Under the direction of French perfumers, an authentic recipe for the natural aroma of fresh herbs was created.
