It doesn’t matter where you spend the summer season, on the sea coast or in the city, skin care must be competent. In this article, we will tell you how to deal with combination skin – oily in the T-zone and dry on the cheeks and cheekbones.
Features of care for combination skin in summer
Owners of combination skin are usually recommended to use two creams at once: mattifying on oily areas and nourishing on dry ones. The good news is that in the summer you can get by with one day cream. The main thing is to make the right choice and separately take care of sun protection.
It happens that the heat provokes a rash like prickly heat, they are mistaken for acne and they buy a remedy for problem skin, and in addition, an alcohol lotion. Ingredients with an antiseptic effect disrupt the hydro-lipid layer already disturbed by heat, causing dryness and flaking.

Types of funds and selection rules
The main distinguishing feature of moisturizers for the summer season is a lightweight texture. These are the following varieties:
gel and jelly – the easiest care products;
cream-gel has a very pleasant texture;
sorbet reminiscent of whipped cream, has a comfortable texture.
Be careful with matting products from the lines for oily skin – they are not addressed to you and can dry out the epidermis. Please note that light gels and sorbets do not contain UV filters, so sun protection needed in summer should be taken care of separately.
