Combination skin type care is difficult and troublesome. Its peculiarity consists in the fact that several types of preparations for different facial parts must be combined. With the combination skin type it is usually the chin, nose (especially the wings) and the centre of the forehead which are oily while the cheeks and the neck are dry. In this case you should apply a purifying mask to the central part of your face and moisturizing or nutritious masks for the other parts.
Before applying the masks you should moisten the centre of the face with tepid water and put some moisturizing cream on the cheeks and neck.
