Caring for sensitive combination skin

Combination Skin

Combination skin type blends two or more different skin types. It is typically characterised by an oily T-zone, surface dryness, and occasional blemishes such as pimples and blackheads. Combination skin is very common, especially in climates like Finland’s, where external factors have a stronger impact on the skin.

How to care for combination skin

Sensitive combination skin in particular requires gentle care. When building a skincare routine for combination skin, always start with cleansing. Choose your cleanser according to your skin’s needs. With sensitive and combination skin, the most important thing is that the cleanser is effective enough, but not overly stripping or harsh.

Cleansing

Oily combination skin: Gentle Gel Cleanser
Surface-dry combination skin: Mild Milk Cleanser
For makeup removal: Nourishing Oil Cleanser

Hydration

Combination skin needs both water-based and oil-based hydration. Always choose hydrating products based on your skin’s current condition.

If you don’t know where to start, choose: Basic Routine for Combination Skin (Mild Milk Cleanser & Light Face Cream)

If you have very sensitive and reactive combination skin, choose: Basic Routine for Sensitized & Reactive Skin with Milk Cleanser & No Cream Set (Mild Milk Cleanser, Balancing Essence Mist & Softening Face Oil)

If your skin feels more surface-dry, include more hydrating products in your routine, such as a richer cream or mask. If your combination skin is more oily, opt for lighter hydration and balancing targeted treatments.

Targeted Treatment

Because combination skin naturally combines two different skin types, targeted treatments are an essential part of its care. Choose a serum or mask based on what your skin needs.

Deep cleansing – Cleansing & Balancing Face Mask
Intensive hydration – Hydrating Face Mask & Cream
For soothing and reducing redness – Calming Serum
For blemish-prone skin – Purifying Serum

Anu: Dry, congested & reactive skin

My skin felt softer already after the first few days, but after two weeks the flakiness and roughness on my forehead had disappeared. My skin is more even, smoother and softer, and my pores and lines aren’t as visible (the biggest change is on my forehead).
