What is combination skin? Understanding the biology of the two zones
Before choosing the right face cream for combination skin, it's worth taking a look at the causes: with this skin type, the sebaceous glands in the so-called T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) work at full speed, which often leads to shine and enlarged pores. At the same time, the cheek areas often lack essential lipids and water-binding capacity.
The problem with conventional approaches is that aggressive cleansing products designed to combat shine dry out the cheeks extremely, while creams that are too rich can clog the pores in the T-zone. Combination skin therefore needs intelligent system care that learns to normalize the production of skin oil instead of just combating it superficially. The aim is to stabilize the hydrolipid layer so that the skin maintains its balance on its own.
The right strategy: systematic combination skin care
To perfectly meet the different needs of the T-zone and cheek area, Chris Farrell offers a modular skincare system.
Facial cleansing for combination skin: deep pore cleansing without stress
Cleansing is the foundation. It must remove excess sebum, but must not attack the natural barrier.
- Clarifying power: Deep Skin Cleanser reliably unclogs pores. In combination with Deep Skin Tonic, the T-zone is mattified and the complexion is visibly refined.
Face cream for combination skin: Moisture and balance combined
The ideal cream for combination skin must be an all-round talent: it moisturizes dry areas without weighing down oily zones.
- The balancers: Products such as Gentle Rebalancing Cream or Phytamille are specially designed to harmonize the different needs of your facial areas.
- Light textures: If you prefer very light care, Moisturizing Mousse or the oil-free Fibra Gel are perfect companions.
Combination skin exfoliation: unclog pores, promote radiance
Regular exfoliation is essential to prevent impurities in the T-zone.
- Gentle effect: Avoid mechanical granules that could irritate sensitive cheeks. The invigorating Youth Agrum Cream uses organic malic acid to gently remove dead skin cells and smooth the skin's surface.
Skin health as a goal: Why physiological care wins
Good combination skin products are characterized by the fact that they don't just “matte” or “grease” the skin. At Chris Farrell Manufaktur, we rely on formulas that become one with your skin. Biomimetic active ingredients strengthen the skin's barrier, which in the long term leads to less oiliness in the T-zone and less tightness in the cheeks.
