Dear friends: Sometimes, your skin can send mixed messages (much like your toxic ex-partner or frenemy). No combination is the same. Your skin could be breaking out but feel dry, or look oily on the T-zone while shedding flakes everywhere else – confusing, we know. Below, we dive into what your combination skin is trying to tell you, and how to take care of it with Glow Recipe’s latest release, the Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream.
What Is Combination Skin?
While traditionally considered an oily T-zone with dry skin on the cheeks, combination skin encompasses other combinations too. If your skin is full of contradictions, it might be a cry for help – or, more accurately, a cry for balance. If your skin is particularly triggered, dermatologists advise to pay close attention to your environment or your organ needs, internally. Often, when combination skin changes, it’s due to situational circumstances like hormones or the weather, which strips skin of its moisture and causes oil production to go into overdrive, leaving skin flaky and dry, yet prone to breakouts.
How To Manage Combo Skin
Like any skin type, combination skin needs a precise, customised routine to keep your skin barrier healthy, inflammation under control, and oil production at a normal level. Much like their philosophy at Glow Recipe, dermatologists advise to maintain a consistent skincare routine, keep to gentle formulas, and to make adjustments when your skin needs extra support. Though it’s tempting to be *extra* with our skincare routine, the right moisturiser can be a gamechanger to finding the right balance you need.
So give your skin the balancing hydration it craves with the new Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream, a lightweight, whipped gel-cream that provides skin with all the essential nutrients and hydration it needs to thrive.
The multi-weight hyaluronic acids will help to fill your skin with its juiciest ingredients. Polyglutamic acid, a peptide known for its long-lasting hydration, boosts the efficacy of HA and locks in moisture for all-day hydration. As the name implies, the formula is packed with a trio of organic, juicy plums hand-harvested in Australia to work synergistically with HA for dewy and bouncy skin. Not forgetting ice willowherb, a sustainably sourced ingredient packed with compounds to minimise the appearance of pores, regulate oil production, and protect the skin barrier.
Glow Recipe’s Plum Plump is the MVP for those suffering with either dry, combination, normal, and even sensitive skin types – because it’s free of pore-clogging mineral oils, you don’t have to worry about this formula breaking you out. At the end of the day, it all comes back to listening to your skin and what it needs in order to remain balanced and healthy.
