What is combination hair and what is the cause?
Combination hair means part of the hair is dry and remaining part greasy.
Dry skin is caused mainly by weather. Heredity also plays its part, apart
from age. Oily face is caused by excessive production of sebum, which
is actually necessary for the protection of the skin. When you have combination
hair, you have to add moisture to the dry areas and simultaneously make
the oily areas close to dry. That is you have to balance the system. This
can be achieved in following ways:1. Gently clean your face with a cleanser
containing Salicylic Acid, which removes excess oil. In addition, it gives
moisture to the face skin.2. Use separate moisturizers for dry areas and
oily areas of the face skin.
You must use the moisturizer both in the morning and before going to bed.
There are combination products that contain Alpha Hydroxyl Acid, which
ensures normalcy of the skin. This cream accelerates cell regeneration.
It removes the top layer of the skin containing oil cells and dry cells
and exposes the healthy skin cells, which absorb moisture. By means of
their water binding properties, they improve skin elasticity.
The shining of the skin is due to collection of oil in the pores. Oil
absorbing creams are the remedy for this.
