Proper care for combination skin

Individual parts of the face often behave in completely opposite ways and want to be cared for in the same way. This skin type sometimes reacts particularly strongly to external influences, such as the seasons.

How to recognize combination skin

You have...

A greasy T-zone (forehead, nose, chin).
Dry cheeks that might even be tight and raw.

Combination skin - your care routine with FIVE in the morning

CLEAN: Wash the whole face with lukewarm water.
CARE: Adjust the day care to the areas of the face. Simple tip: combine two products that you apply in different mixing ratios to the respective areas.

For the T-zone: Our moisturizing facial serum that is non-greasy. You can also add the face oil with balancing and antibacterial agents . Here's how it works: Simply mix both products in the palm of your hand and apply together. Important: a lot of moisture, little oil.

For dry areas: Here the mixing ratio is exactly the other way around. So mix the same products in the palm of your hand but use more oil than moisture.

Combination skin – your care routine with FIVE in the evening

Good news: In the evening you can treat your whole face to a uniform treatment.

CLEAN: Resist the urge to aggressively degrease your T-zone. If you haven't put on make-up, it's enough to wash your face with lukewarm water . Otherwise, remove make-up gently and thoroughly with our Make-Up Remover.
CARE: Your skin regenerates itself overnight. Therefore, do not use a heavy night cream for the dry areas. Better apply our oil-free and moisturizing face serum all over.

Combination skin - special care

If your skin feels uncomfortably oily again: treat yourself to a mild clarifying mask with white or pink clay once or twice a week. Rinse thoroughly with water before it dries up! You can get clay in the pharmacy or in the health food store.

Or: Unclog your pores with a facial steam bath. Fill the spaghetti saucepan 2 fingers deep with water and bring to the boil. A teaspoon of salt or a bag of chamomile tea provide a disinfecting effect. Remove from the stove, hold your face in the steam - not too close or you'll burn yourself - towel over it and steam for 10 minutes. Then rinse your face with cold water and apply a moisturizing serum. But beware: If you have sensitive, irritated skin, you should avoid it!
