What beauty routine to adopt for mixed skin?

Each skin type requires specific expert care to meet its needs. Discover with us the action belle peau beauty ritual that will reveal the radiance of your combination skin for a fresh, mattifying effect.  

Combination skin combines several characteristics. It tends to be oily on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), while the rest of the face is normal to dry and prone to redness. Combination skin is therefore faced with excessive sebum production on the T-zone. The main manifestation of this imbalance is skin shine. But excess sebum can also lead to the appearance of dilated pores, blackheads and even pimples when certain skin bacteria multiply. Dead cells accumulate, clogging pores and accentuating irregularities, making skin appear duller. Does this sound like you? No wonder: it's the most common skin type! Teenagers and adults alike, men and women, we're all affected by combination skin.

To care for your combination skin, you need to adopt skincare products adapted to its specific needs. They must succeed in improving skin quality in the T-zone, while guaranteeing comfort for the whole face. To meet these specific needs, our laboratory has specially formulated the Aquabella® range. For combination skin that's radiant but not shiny, these tailor-made skin care products provide targeted corrective action on oily areas. They also ensure optimal hydration, a universal need for beautiful skin, and one that is particularly accentuated in combination skin. The 3 products in the Aquabella® range can be used to create a complete skin care routine:

Step 1: Daily cleansing with Purifying Jelly Micro-exfoliating Gelée . Enriched with Silica particles and blue micro-beads of natural origin, it gently eliminates impurities, excess sebum and dead skin cells. Skin is left clearer and fresher.

Step 2: Preparing skin for moisturizing care with Beauty-Revealing Lotion-Essencewhich perfects cleansing. It leaves a moisturizing veil on the face and visibly tightens pores.

Step 3: Application of Moisturizing Emulsion Beauty RevealerA light-textured treatment that moisturizes while matifying oily areas. Skin looks smoothed and radiant.

This applies to all skin types, but especially to combination skin, which especially needs cleansing, especially to remove make-up that tends to clog pores. Opt for gentle make-up removers  Very Rose  with Rose Floral Water: milk, micellar water or oil, there's sure to be a make-up remover just for you!  

A diet rich in antioxidants helps keep skin in balance. Fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, etc.) and seeds (flax, sunflower, pumpkin, etc.), as well as wholegrain cereals, are recommended.  

Combination skin can become more sensitive in winter, and the intense cold can aggravate feelings of tightness in the cheeks. You can then use a creamier-textured skincare product to nourish your skin and restore the comfort it needs, especially in the evening. Another option for skin lacking in nutrition and hydration: mix a spritz d'Huile Prodigieuse®  to your Moisturizing Emulsion   Aquabella Beauty Revealing Emulsion  in the palm of your hand.

When it comes to make-up*, opt for powder foundations rather than over-covering liquid versions. Powder also provides additional mattifying action.

Our additional tip: remember to clean your make-up accessories thoroughly with soap or shampoo once a week.

For an effective beauty routine for combination skin, it's essential to use products specifically designed to meet the needs of combination skin. Day after day, the 3 skincare products in the Aquabella range will give you refined skin texture and fresh, radiant skin.
