Check men’s combination skin
First, after washing your face, leave it without anything applied. After about 2-3 hours, wipe your forehead and nose first with oiled paper. Wipe the rest of the cheeks and chin with another oiled paper.
Combination skin is characterized by oiliness in the T zone (forehead, nose) and dryness in the U zone (cheeks, chin, and chin). Here, the oil may come out in the U zone, but if it appears to be relatively less than in the T zone, you can consider it as combination skin.
On the other hand, combination skin is also called dehydrated oily skin. It means that the base is oily, but the U zone is dry with relatively few sebaceous glands, and the T zone is oily with relatively more sebaceous glands.
How to care for men’s combination skin
1. Paper oiled paper
Remove oily substances such as T zone with oil paper. It is recommended to clean the oil approximately every 5 hours.
Adequate oil helps to prevent skin aging by forming a protective film on the skin.
As a precaution, there are oil papers of various materials on the market. Double paper type oiled paper is recommended. This is because film-type oil paper absorbs not only oil but also moisture, and powder-type oil paper clogs pores.
2. Controlling the order and amount of moisturizer application
Basic moisturizers are usually lotions or creams. If your skin is dry and feels tight, use a cream, and if you have acne or large pores, use a lotion.
First, apply a small amount to both cheeks and chin, and apply a smaller amount to the forehead than this amount. And apply it all over your face. At this time, apply the remaining lotion or cream between the nose and the forehead.
In summary, the U zone provides sufficient moisture, and the T zone controls the amount of moisturizer to lower the oil content.
For reference, the difference between a lotion and a cream is as follows. A lotion is a product with a higher water content than an oil content, and cream is characterized by a higher oil content than a general lotion.
3. Independent management
T-zone is oily, so clogged pores or dead skin cells will be relatively high. Exfoliate and deep cleanse with a scrub product focusing on the T zone.
Also, pay attention to supplying moisture to the entire face with nourishing mask packs and moisture mask packs. Aloe gel and soothing gel are also good options.
Summary
- Combination skin self-diagnosis
- Oil-paper should be used
- Controlling the order and amount of moisturizer application
- T zone and U zone should be managed separately
