Normal-mixed skins are very grateful, they are not very fatigued, they do not usually present problems of sensitivity or dehydration and they do not present many wrinkles. Mainly, they tend to accumulate and oxidize a little oil, so one of the main points to treat is dull skin.
First Care Protocol
NORMAL-MIXED SKIN
Sometimes you wake up with shiny skin, a feeling of tightness in the cheek area and occasional pimples. Let's work on normal-mixed skin.
A PRACTICAL AND EFFECTIVE STEP-BY-STEP
Wash your skin with a gentle cleanser and warm water. A cleanser with vitamins to work oxidation into every step of your routine.
With this step, morning and night, we prevent the pore from becoming infected and the skin from becoming saturated.
In the mornings, you can use toners rich in natural factors from hidratación to keep the skin hydrated and soft.
In the evenings, use a toner with glycolic or other AHAs.
It varies depending on the needs of the skin:
If we are before a normal-mixed skin but a little dehydrated after the summer, we will use a serum rich in hyaluronic acid or collagen.
If we want to work the yellowish color or spots, we will use a serum with vitamins or depigmenting acids.
If we want to work on firmness or wrinkles, we will use serums with silicon, argireline or collagen.
Here are our recommendations for the case of dehydration and detoxification. If this is not your case, remember to ask us.
We will choose light textures in summer so that they do not weigh down the skin and also rich in vitamins to prevent oxidation and improve firmness.
In winter, combination skins work very well with more intense treatments such as a retinol treatment.
Here is our firming recommendation.
Indispensable every morning. If we are using acids but do not use sunscreen, we are sentencing the skin to possible scarring spots.
Do not hesitate, it is an ally to get the result you want in a few months.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
-
If you have normal-mixed skin and do not wear make-up, a cleansing milk or a good pH-balanced cleansing gel would be sufficient, of course.
When you apply foundation or waterproof mascara or eyeliner, it is essential to use a first step to remove all traces of makeup.
Cleansing has a main reason for being: the dirt that we collect on the skin during the day is the main problem of skin infections, inflammations, pore dirt processes, etc.
A clean and cared skin is a fresh, elastic, hydrated and oxygenated skin.

This is a phrase that has been said a lot in perfumery chains: "if you have been using a cream for a long time, you have to change it because it no longer does anything for you".
This is simply not true.
A cream does the same thing the first time you use it as it does the last time. But, this does not mean that it is always the best choice.
A cream is a mix of what you eat and what you put on.
We don't eat the same thing all year round: in summer we need fresh fruits and vegetables, cool clothes, lots of water and plenty of shade. In winter, on the other hand, we need warm clothes, warmth, hot meals of stews.
Cosmetics are the same, in summer we need light creams so that they are not greasy, with a high content of moisturizing active ingredients for deep hydration, sun protection and lots of vitamins.
But in winter we need creams richer in lipids, nutritious, that provide amino acids and proteins and that make a mantle on the skin so that the cold does not penetrate and keeps it warm.

Normal-mixed skins are the ones that notice the hormonal changes the most.
During adolescence the skin tends to be quite oily, especially in the T-zone, pimples appear and suddenly, from the age of 35, it starts to dry out.
The pilosebaceous glands go hand in hand with the hormonal system. The androgens that we have in adolescence, whose maximum is produced at the age of 20, contribute to a greater production of oil in the skin.
Therefore, after pregnancy or from the age of 35-40 years we begin to have a deficit of these hormones and it is noticeable in the production of natural fat in our skin.
So our cosmetics must also change.
A normal-mixed skin of 25 years old cannot use the same as a normal-mixed skin woman of 35 years old and not the same as a woman of 45 years old.
Your body changes, your cosmetics have to change too.
-
Pimples are quite normal in combination skin. You are probably not doing anything wrong, they are often due to hormonal changes or dietary changes or stress.
In these periods of pimples, if they are occasional, it is very easy to treat them.
Use a gauze moistened with a good tonic for oily skin rich in boric or salicylic acid.
Leave it on for half an hour while lying down or if you do not have time, rub it on the area.
Repeat this operation for 3 days in a row. Those pimples will disappear.
