What is combination-oily skin?
Combination-oily skin is a common skin type characterized by a combination of dry and oily areas on the face. The texture of the skin can change depending on the area of the face, and sometimes even during the day, depending on factors such as the weather, stress and tension levels, and even the mood. There are various signs that can indicate combination-dry skin: in the T-zone, which includes the forehead, nose and chin, the skin tends to be oily and shiny, with enlarged pores and even pimples. In contrast, the cheeks and chin may have a normal or even dry texture, with a tendency to redness, peeling and lack of shine.
Small wrinkles to significant wrinkles
Wrinkles are fine lines that form on the surface of the skin, and are a natural part of the aging process. They appear in different sizes and shapes, mainly in areas such as the face, neck, hands, arms and legs. The appearance of the first wrinkles varies from person to person, but usually begins at the age of 25 or older with the appearance of fine wrinkles, with an emphasis on the ages of 40-55. At age 65 and older, the appearance of wrinkles will be more pronounced, and may be accompanied by loose or sagging skin.
first signs of age
Even with mixed-oily skin, age takes a significant toll and with it the wrinkles begin to appear. The main reason for this, according to the leading American medical center Mio Clinic, is the natural aging process. During it, the skin becomes less elastic and drier, with a decrease in the amount of fat and collagen, even in the deep layers. As a result, lines and wrinkles appear, as well as laxity of the skin.
Other factors that can cause wrinkles are genetics and ultraviolet (UV) radiation that accelerates the aging process of the skin and leads to the breakdown of elastin and collagen fibers – connective tissues that support without them the skin lacks elasticity. Also, facial expressions such as smiling or frowning cause tiny folds in the skin. Over time, these folds can turn into permanent lines and wrinkles.
What to do with the appearance of wrinkles?
Mixed-oily skin is prone to the appearance of early wrinkles, and many care products on the market are not adapted to its unique needs – a combination of mixed-oily skin with the onset of wrinkles and anti-aging treatment. The good news is that there are many solutions that can help you slow down the aging process and significantly improve the appearance of your facial skin. Choosing products that contain ingredients such as Tsubaki oil, hyaluronic acid, water lily extract, vitamin E, jojoba oil and niacinamide, is essential for the effective treatment of mixed-oil skin that begins to wrinkle and to maintain its elasticity over time.
adapted care routine
Mixed-oily skin, even if still without many wrinkles, needs special care. Usually, women diagnosed with this type of skin, feel in the morning that the skin is dry, and during the day the skin may become oily. A proper skin care routine with suitable products will allow you to enjoy flexible, radiant and young skin for a long time. The pre-anti-aging care routine for mixed-oily skin begins in the morning with washing the face with a damp cloth, and applying a low-fat day cream with SPF50+ protection factor.
To complete the action, it is recommended to use a serum rich in active ingredients such as omega-9 fatty acid, niacinamide, vitamin E, vitamin C, jojoba oil and panthenol. The serum will help renew the skin’s texture, maintain elasticity and moisture, and blur the first wrinkles.
In the evening, it is important to apply a night cream, which will support the skin’s natural repair processes and improve its texture, which occur during sleep.
Preventing the onset of wrinkles
Wrinkles are an inevitable part of growing up, but it is possible to significantly slow down the rate of their appearance and maintain a young and fresh appearance over time, especially in mixed-oily skin in the early stages of the appearance of fine lines. This is with the help of a routine adapted to mixed-oily skin: using a sunscreen with an SPF50+ daily is essential to prevent sun damage, avoiding smoking and increased exposure to the sun, especially during peak hours. Also, drinking water, eating a healthy and balanced diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining mental health can benefit you for years to come.
