Obagi Nu Derm for Combination Skin

Usually, combination skin caused by hormonal imbalances, lipids (fats), and environmental conditions. One of the major concerns when treating combination skin is dealing with different areas of the skin individually with different skin care products. It needs special care and nourishment to compensate for the different skin requirements. Here are some tips to take care of your skin:

Cleanse Your T-Zone
Use a mild foaming cleanser specifically formulated to cater to the requirements of combination skin and focus more on your T zone when you lather. Do this twice a day. Here are some Obagi Derm product recommendations:

• Obagi Nu Derm Foaming Gel: An amazing blend of aloe vera, natural herbs and natural cleansers. It gets rid of all the pollutants accumulated on the skin and removes excess oil without disturbing the natural moisture levels of the skin.
• Obagi C-Cleansing Gel: It contains benefits of both a prescription strength hydroquinone as well as Vitamin C that cater to all your skin’s requirements.

It’s better to use two types of cleansers- a foaming facial cleanser in the morning and a creamier or oil based cleanser at night before going to bed. Don’t forget to rinse.

More Toner on the T-Zone
Always apply more toner on your T-zone than on your cheeks and apply it on your T-zone first. The toner keeps the excess oiliness in check and at the same time maintains the pH level of the skin. One amazing toner is:

Obagi Nu-Derm Toner: It’s a combination of natural ingredients and herbs along with a natural astringent called ‘alum’. It tones the skin, normalizes the pH balance and helps the active ingredients of the skin care products absorb efficiently into the skin surface. It also accelerates cellular turnover and boosts cellular function by penetrating deep inside the skin surface.

Its therapeutic benefits makes skin smoother and wrinkle-free, visible reduction in pigmentation marks and age spots, improved skin structure, accelerated production of collagen and elastin fibers and increased natural hydration and circulation.

Use Two Different Toners
Another way to take care of combination skin is by applying two different types of toners on different zones- a stronger one on the T-zone and milder one on the dry areas.

More Moisturizer on Dry Areas
You can apply more moisturizer on the drier areas of your face like the cheeks and neck. Or, use two separate moisturizes – a creamy one for drier areas and a lightweight oil-free one for the oily T-zone. Or else you can use moisturizer that are specially formulated for combination skin types.
