Best Skincare Routine for Combination Skin Using Serums & Moisturizers

Are you sick of dealing with both oilyness and dryness at the same time? Yes, oily in the T-zone and dryness on the cheeks? Yes, that's what combination skin people struggle with. They get confused about which part of the face to hydrate and which to keep matte. However, there's no need to worry; the solution is to use the proper skincare that targets both requirements in balance. The magic treatment? A well-formulated serum and moisturizer combination explicitly designed for combination skin. With Mystique Pearl's SwarnaGlow Illuma-Perfecting Face Serum, featuring Cutibiome CLR, and SwarnaGlow Illuma-Hydrating Face Moisturizer, containing Coenzyme Q10, you can restore balance to your skin with a gentle, natural shine and clarity. So, let's dissect it in detail.  

What Does Combination Skin Require? 

Combination skin is not only about being normal, dry, or oily, but also about the combination of all three. Sometimes the cheeks remain normal to dry, and the t-zone, forehead, nose, and chin stay oily. This dual nature requires a meticulously balanced skincare routine that hydrates the skin overall without clogging pores and regulates oil without stripping the skin. Additionally, it also needs non-irritating, gentle chemicals to address all skin types. An effective skin care routine for combination skin includes products that promote the overall health of the skin barrier, control sebum production, and balance the skin's texture and tone without tipping the balance in favor of excessive oiliness or dryness. Balance is key, and maintaining harmony across all the facial zones is facilitated by choosing multifunctional products that nourish, soothe, and protect the skin.   

Why Are Serum And Moisturizer Essential For Combination Skin?

The two most effective products that not only enhance the overall texture and tone of combination skin but also benefit all skin types are serums and moisturizers. Both of these ingredients work well when applied in the correct sequence: face wash, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning routine, and face wash, serum, moisturizer in the evening routine. 

A serum like SwarnaGlow Illuma-Perfecting Face Serum contains concentrated active ingredients that penetrate deeply into the skin to refine, soothe, and brighten oil-prone areas, thereby supporting hydration in the targeted spots. Moisturizer acts as a sealing agent, locking all those nutrients along with moisturizing components, thereby preventing water loss. 

An ideal moisturizer, such as SwarnaGlow Illuma-Hydrating Face Moisturizer, provides non-comedogenic, lightweight moisture that profoundly moisturizes dry areas, thereby avoiding clogging of oily zones. This combination of oats provides a glowing, balanced, and even skin tone by addressing both issues of the combination skin spectrum.  

How do SwarnaGlow Illuma Perfecting Face Serum with CutiBiome CLR and SwarnaGlow Illuma Hydrating Face Moisturizer with Coenzyme Q10 help enhance combination skin? 

Combination skin is often characterized as a mix of both - dry in some areas and oily in others. SwarnaGlow Illuma-Perfecting Face Serum with Cutibiome CLR is crafted to restore this equilibrium. It functions by profoundly moisturizing and calming the skin while purifying pores in oily places. Its hero ingredients, Cutibiome, Bakuchiol, blue pea, and 24K Gold, maintain the skin microbiome, improve natural radiance, and reduce overall skin inflammation.

Following it, SwarnaGlow Illuma-Hydrating Face Moisturizer, along with Coenzyme Q10, offers long-lasting hydration, a non-greasy finish, and antioxidant protection. While CoQ10, aloe vera, and niacinamide brighten and shield skin from everyday irritants, the moisturizer locks the serums' activities. Together, this combination gives the combination skin a more balanced, radiant appearance, cleaner pores, and smoother texture. 

Step-By-Step Skin Care Routine For Combination Skin 

Following the proper skin care routine is necessary to create a difference for people with combination skin. To maintain a healthy, moisturized, and radiant complexion throughout the day, follow these step-by-step instructions. 

- Cleanse (AM & PM): Start your day by cleansing your face with SwarnaGlow Illuma-Clearing Face Wash. It is a mild, non-forming, sulphate-free, pH-balanced cleanser that removes pollutants, oil, and dirt from your face without removing the natural barrier of your skin.  

- Tone (AM & PM, Optional) - Although optional, toning is the next step that helps refresh your skin and restore equilibrium, especially after cleansing. Choose alcohol free toners with calming or sebum-controlling components. To apply the toner, use a cotton pad or gently tap your hands with 2-3 drops of the toner.  

- Apply serum (AM & PM) - Now it's time to treat your face with SwarnaGlow Illuma-Perfecting Face Serum, targeting dry areas, congested pores, and uneven tone for improved absorption and radiance in moist skin.  

- Moisturizer (AM & PM): With SwarnaGlow Illuma-Hydrating Face Moisturizer, specifically formulated to nourish without clogging, you can lock in moisture and keep your skin hydrated. Apply a peaceful amount on your fingertips and massage your face and neck area. The minimal the better.  

- Sunscreen (AM only): While all the above steps are essential for both morning and evening routines, sunscreen is necessary in the morning routine, not at night, as it's non-negotiable. Apply Broad Spectrum SPF at the end of your morning routine to protect your skin from UV rays. Seek SPF 30 or above, such as SunChhatra SPF50 PA++++ Illuma Face Sunscreen with SPF Booster, and reapply every hour or two for maximum skin protection. 

Tips To Maximize The Serum + Moisturizer Combo Results 

Time to make your skincare regimen smarter! Now that you have the step-by-step skin care regimen, follow these extra tips to help you get the best possible glow within a few days of application.                

- Applying serum and moisturizer on damp skin retains better hydration and increases absorption more effectively.  

- Using both serum and moisturizer twice a day yields the most significant benefits since the effect builds up over time.   

- Weekly exfoliation promotes better serum absorption by removing dead skin cells, allowing for enhanced product penetration. 

- Apply extra serum to oily areas if you are prone to breakouts, then apply a thick layer of moisturizer to dry areas.  

- Combination skin does not need heavy layering. As these formulas are potent, start with a small amount, and then add more if skin requires it.
