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.

Proper care for combination skin
How to recognize combination skin
You have...
- A greasy T-zone (forehead, nose, chin).
-
Dry cheeks that may even be tight and rough.
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 facial 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: lots 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, just 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 either. 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 be careful: you should avoid it if you have sensitive, irritated skin!
