Combination - Sensitive/Combination
Caring for combination skin is a balancing act - the care given must take into account the opposing needs of two very different skin types. Dr.Hauschka understands what causes this skin condition, and addresses the problem at the most effective level, by stimulating the skin's natural activity.
Combination skin is like a normal relationship between two people where one wants something and the other wants exactly the opposite, and because the conflict cannot be reconciled, an imbalance develops in the relationship. How do you strike a balance between these differing needs? What kind of skin care suits both aspects of combination skin to meet the needs of both moisturising the dry areas and offering regulating care for the oily areas? Dr.Hauschka offers products that work with your skin to return it to balance.
Care plan for sensitive combination skin
In the morning
Step 1:
- Cleansing Cream is a soap-free facial cleanser that effectively removes excess dirt and oil while encouraging gentle, natural exfoliation. It maintains the skin's protective Acid-Mantle and helps establish a healthy moisture balance. Used in the morning, it rremoves surface excretions from the night before leaving the skin fresh and comfortable
- Lavender Bath can be added to face washing water for its strengthening and regenerating properties.
Step 2:
- Clarifying Toner helps moderate the skin's oil production and helps reduce blemishes and blackheads while soothing redness and inflammation.
Step 3:
- Melissa Day Cream Protects and re-balances the skin through out the day. Dr.Hauschka Melissa Day Cream helps to restore a healthy balance to sensitive combination skin giving the complexion a smooth, matte appearance, returning the skin to equilibrium and harmonising its oil-moisture balance.
At night
The Dr.Hauschka skin care concept incorporates the principle of bespoke night care. Following your cleansing, the Clarifying Toner serves as your optimal night care product providing the skin with all the support it needs. This product is water based, as at this point, applying oil-based products would disrupt the skin's natural processes of elimination.
Step 1:
- Cleansing Milk Effectively removes make-up if required
Step 2:
- Cleansing Cream is a soap-free facial cleanser that effectively removes excess dirt and oil while encouraging gentle, natural exfoliation. It maintains the skin's protective Acid-Mantle and helps establish a healthy moisture balance. Used at night, the Cleansing Cream provides deep pore cleansing and safe removal of dead skin cells, aiding the skin's natural night-time
- Lavender Bath can be added to face washing water for its strengthening and regenerating properties.
Step 3:
- Clarifying Toner Strengthening and regenerative night-time care, whilst working to moderate the skin's oil production and helps reduce blemishes and blackheads while soothing redness and inflammation.
Intensive care
- Rejuvenating Mask Refining, clarifying, intensive care. Occasionally the spot has gone down but you are left with a flat red mark which seems to take ages to go away. This is a sign of slow healing skin. Rejuvenating Mask is an excellent treatment for this as the Borage and Anthyllis extracts help to stimulate the skin's regenerative processes. This product also contains the soothing and anti-inflammatory extracts of Carrot and Quince seed, thereby being of great assistance in both the treatment and prevention of more severe acne scarring.
- Soothing Mask Soothing, balancing intensive care to nurture and fortify sensitive skin, reducing inflammation and redness.
- Rhythmic Conditioner Sensitive is rich in essential ingredients including Witch Hazel and Rose that help to restore strength and elasticity to the walls of the blood vessels. Redness is visibly reduced and the skin becomes soft and supple. Two to four times per year, use instead of Dr.Hauschka Clarifying Toner for 28 days. Soothes sensitive skin and gently clears redness
- Intensive Treatment 03 soothes and fortifies oversensitive skin, and clears blotchy, red, dry and sensitive skin leaving it feeling relaxed and balanced. Intensive Treatment 03 is used morning and night after cleansing, 4 times a year, in place of Clarifying Toner.
