Did you know that 70% of women have normal to combination skin?
If you fall into this category, picking out the right products for your routine can be tricky. What if my forehead is oily but my cheeks are dry? Do I need to use different products for different areas?
Trust me, sometimes it feels like my skin can't make up its mind. Sometimes my forehead & nose gets shiny throughout the day while the rest of my skin is normal. Other days, my cheeks feel tight, like it's asking for a drink of water! So what products are great to give your skin that all-over balance? Here are the artists' picks for normal/combo skin:
1. Makeup Eraser // My clients over the years have heard me preach this over & over again: ALWAYS DOUBLE CLEANSE. The very first step of your skincare routine should always be removing your makeup. Makeup residue can still cling to your skin & clog your pores if you use cleanser alone. I use my Makeup Eraser every day after a long day of work. It's the easiest to use- just add water! The micro-fibers do all the work & even removes mascara. It's great for me since I wear contacts so I can be gentle around the eyes. When I'm done, I just throw the Makeup Eraser in the wash & it's good for up to 3,600 uses! Black is my favorite color but there are so many pretty, colorful shades available! Great for all skin types. Use PM or for makeup removal as needed.
2. Youth To The People Superfood Duo Mini // I love being able to try a product for about a month before I commit to the full size. My wallet & my skin appreciates it. So this duo is great to slowly ease into a routine & try the all-natural brand Youth To The People. The kale & spinach infused cleanser is a gentle gel & the moisturizer is great to balance the skin- it's got a light, airy texture & works to seal in your skin's moisture throughout the day. This duo is so refreshing to use && I love the natural ingredients! Great for normal/combo skin & sensitive skin. Use AM & PM.
3. Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence // Did you know there are 3 kinds of pollutants that are being exposed to your skin every day? Indoor, outdoor, and digital light pollutants can cause major damage & throw your skin out of balance. The best way to protect your skin is using antioxidant-infused products. This essence is filled with kombucha antioxidants that minimize the look of pores and texture, & hydrates. You would use it as a toner, saturating a cotton pad & giving your skin an even swipe. Unlike a toner, it doesn't have any drying ingredients & replenishes the skin. Again, I love travel-size products, so I found one that gives you enough to try before you buy. Great for normal/combo skin. Use AM.
4. Farmacy Daily Greens Oil Free Gel Face Moisturizer // Think of this moisturizer as a smoothie of kale & cucumber for your skin! This water-based hydrator is great for combo skin because it provides water-light hydration while papaya & willow herb reduces & absorbs unwanted shine. I love that this product is not only oil-free but silicone-free! Meaning it won't clog my pores & it's perfect for everyday use! Great for normal/ combo skin. Use AM & PM.
5. CeraVe Eye Repair Cream // Sensitive eyes love this eye cream! It's fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, & won't clog pores. My clients who wear contacts or glasses love this formula because it's so gentle tackles dark circles & puffiness. This formula is my go-to when my eyes seem irritated or I know I'm going to spend a long day in my contacts. Great for normal/combo & sensitive skin. Use AM & PM
6. Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 PA +++// Add glow AND hydration to your skin while protecting yourself from harmful UV rays. This sunscreen also does a little more- it protects your skin from blue light. Blue light can be emitted from your computer screen, phones, TVs, etc. Those subtle rays can still cause damage to your skin. I am constantly staring at my screen & working from my laptop connecting with clients, so I appreciate the extra protection. There are so many days I will wear this alone because of the subtle tint & the hydrating glow for that no-makeup look. Great for normal/combo skin. Use AM.
