6 DIY Ingredients For Facial To Treat Combination Skin

If the skin on your face feels oily in some parts and dry in others, then you have something called, ‘combination skin’. The various facials, cleansers, and face washes out there usually cater only to oily or dry skin, and using either one almost always ends up making the other parts oilier or drier.

When managing combination skin, it is essential to remember that the oily areas are usually located in the T-zone (forehead, nose, upper lip, and chin), while the regions that are made of dry to normal skin, are usually the cheeks.

# An Orange Yogurt Parfait For Your Face

With dehydrated orange peels and yogurt, give your combination skin some dessert. Orange’s citrus lightens your skin and while the yogurt moisturizes and tightens your pores.

Usage Method

First, dry an orange peel in the sun or outside, then grind it and add two tablespoons of yogurt to make a thick paste. Apply it on your face for 20 minutes and wash it off with warm water.

# Honey & Lemon’s Golden Fusion

Honey acts as a natural dryness moisturizer, while lemon juice is a potent drying and lightening ingredient, which makes them a perfect fusion for combination skin.

Usage Method

Just mix a tablespoon of honey with a teaspoon of lemon juice and spread the mix evenly on your face for around 15 minutes. Wash it off with some warm water.

# Banana And Egg White Facial Batter

The pore-tightening powers of egg whites, and the moisturizing effects of banana both act as a skin softening and hydrating lock for your face, and also work wonders in softening rough tips of your hair.

Usage Method

Mash a ripe banana and add an egg white to make a paste. Then, apply the mix to your face, with a thin layer on the oily parts and a thicker layer for the dry areas. After about 10 to 15 minutes, wash it off with warm water.

# Oat And Yogurt Shake For The Face

Giving your skin an occasional scrub or exfoliation is crucial to even out those oily and dry parts, cleanse those clogged pores, and wash off dead skin cells. The rough texture of oats helps with that scrubbing action, while the yogurt helps moisturize and keep your skin supple and not get too dry.

Usage Method

Start by mixing a cup of raw oats and about 3 tablespoons of yogurt to make a grainy paste. Apply a thick layer of the mix to the T-zone and a very thin layer onto the cheeks. After that, gently massage it onto your face for 10 minutes and then wash off with warm water.

# Honey And Cooling Cucumber Facial Cocktail

If your skin ranges from combination skin to oily, then the gooey texture of honey will tighten your pores while the cucumber juice cools, de-tans, and moisturizes your skin.

Usage Method

Start by grating and grinding a small cucumber into a fine juice. Next, add about a tablespoon of honey and mix well. Apply the fusion onto your face and leave it to dry. Wash your face with some warm water after.
