Every skin type demands a unique approach for its upkeep and maintenance. Take, for example, the combination skin type. It carries characteristics of oily and dry skin, requiring formulations that cut excess sebum while ensuring intense hydration for the skin. Additionally, to tackle this tough combination of oil along the forehead, T-zone and chin while the rest of the skin feels dry – one must avoid certain skincare mistakes at all costs. Intrigued? Keep reading. Before we divulge this list of don’ts, let’s further understand combination skin. What Really Is Combination Skin? In simple terms, combination skin is both oily and dry – with the distribution varying from person to person. If you are confused whether your skin type is combination or not, here are some factors to consider. 1. Massive pores: Since combination skin carries excess shine along the T-zone, forehead, and chin – you may notice conspicuous and enlarged pores here 2. Inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne: The never-ending oil slick on your face attracts dirt, grim, and other pollutants all day. This unwanted buildup often clogs the pores, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, and even acne. 3. Uneven distribution of oil/dry patches: Another challenge faced by the combination skin type – you may observe an uneven distribution of grease and dryness during transitional weather. Case in point, during the colder months, the oily parts can feel normal while the dry patches may feel parched. What Are The Best Ingredients For Combination Skin? Before we get to all the combination skin mistakes, here’s a quick look at the best ingredients for this skin type. 1. Hyaluronic Acid: The potent humectant binds water molecules to the skin, banishing dry spots and patches from the skin. Moreover, ample hydration regulates sebum production ensuring a balanced microbiome along the T-zone, forehead, and neck. 2. Salicylic Acid: The oil-soluble ingredient cuts excess oil, unclogs pores and soothes inflammation – making it a great fit for the combination skin type. Salicylic Acid is meticulous yet gentle, it doesn’t make your skin feel stripped or uncomfortably dry. 3. Niacinamide: Skincare acid Niacinamide helps strike a balance between effective shine control and hydration. The topical application of Niacinamide acts like a sponge that soaks excess sebum and prevents clogged pores while ensuring a brightening effect for the skin. Niacinamide also prevents TEWL (or transepidermal water loss), upholds barrier health, and alleviates inflammation. 4. Lactic Acid: The gentle exfoliant expels excess oil and improves your skin’s water-holding capacity, making it a great choice for combination skin. What Are Some Mistakes That Combination Skin Should Avoid? To double down on efforts for great skin, here are all the combination skin mistakes to avoid - 1. Using harsh cleansers: Cleansing is the most important step in a skincare routine that removes dirt, grime, and other impurities from the pores. Using a harsh cleanser, however, makes your skin stripped and makes way for flare-ups. 2. Picking comedogenic products: It's no secret that combination skin is prone to clogged pores, especially along the forehead, down the nose, and around the chin. To avoid these concerns, we recommend using formulas that are non-comedogenic at all costs. 3. Giving your moisturizer a miss: Moisturization is key for healthy skin and combination skin type is no exception. A potent moisturizing formula creates a protective barrier on the dermis, preventing TEWL. This in turn preserves skin hydration and regulates oil control. 4. Going overboard: The best way to maintain your skin is by adhering to a simple yet effective daily routine. Use result-oriented formulas that address pertinent concerns and steer clear of redundancy. 5. Not exfoliating regularly: The process of exfoliation dissolves dead cells, debris and other impurities to elevate overall skin health. Additionally, exfoliation removes excess sebum and dry patches, making it a non-negotiable for combination skin. Having said that, we recommend steering clear of over-exfoliation as it makes your skin feel stripped, marrs the barrier, and leads to inflammation. What Are The Best Products For Combination Skin?

If you walk through the anti-ageing section of a skincare aisle, you will find Retinol plastered all over it. A form of Vitamin A, Retinol is a miraculous age-reversing ingredient that softens fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet – restoring your skin’s youthful appearance. However, Retinol’s topical application may cause irritation, inflammation, and other sensitivities in some folks. This is because, although effective, Retinol’s molecule is slightly unstable. So, how does one harness its power without flaring up underlying sensitivities? Let’s find out. We will also learn if Retinol is a good fit for your everyday skincare routine. What Really Is Retinol? As touched upon briefly, a form of Vitamin A, Retinol is the holy grail of anti-ageing. It is found in creams, serums, and even some cosmetic products. What Are The Many Benefits Of Retinol When formulated correctly, a Retinol Serum has the following benefits - 1. It makes your skin elastic and supple: For those unaware, Collagen (a type of protein) is your dermis’ building block. It is responsible for the structure and integrity of your skin but isn’t safe from depletion. Factors like ageing, continued solar exposure, and overtly sugary meals can damage the Collagen levels in your skin, making it loose and saggy. But not anymore! Topical application of Retinol helps counter this problem by boosting Collagen production in your skin cells. It also fades the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet for smooth, soft skin. 2. It prevents whiteheads, blackheads, and acne: The skin lays bare to aggressors, pollutants and impurities, resulting in a layer of unwarranted buildup. This menacing buildup clogs your pores, often leading to whiteheads, blackheads or even acne. Enter Retinol. Topical application of this ingredient prevents clogged pores, helping keep these inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne at bay. 3. It ensures an even texture for your skin: The skin has a unique set of functions for day and night. That’s right. While you’re busy counting sheep, the dermis sheds its dead cells and cues healthy cellular regeneration. Active ingredient Retinol facilitates this renewal process, ensuring an even texture and tone for your skin. Okay, But How To Deal With Retinol-Related Flare-Ups? We now know that Retinol molecules are unstable and often break open on the skin’s surface. This leads to burning, stinging, reddening, and other types of inflammation. But not anymore! Foxtale’s innovative Retinol Serum helps save the day. Using Encapsulated Technology, the formulation seeps into the skin to address concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet. What Makes Foxtale’s Retinol Serum Stand Out? Before you add Foxtale’s Retinol Serum into your skincare rotation, here’s everything you should know - 1.

No flare-ups or inflammation. So, Is It Okay To Use Retinol Everyday? Foxtale’s 0.15% Retinol Serum is innovative, high-performing, and most importantly, safe for all skin types. But does that make it okay to use the serum every day? Well, if you are new to Retinol (in general), start by using the serum 1 to 2 times weekly. If your skin responds well – use the serum for two nights in a row, a night off, and then repeat. If everything goes well for a month, add it to your daily skincare routine. How To Make The Most Of Foxtale’s Retinol Serum? To make the most of Foxtale’s Retinol Serum, here’s how you can integrate it in your daily routine - 1.

Observe caution around sensitive areas like the eyes and the mouth. 3. Moisturize thoroughly: After the serum infuses in your skin, use a moisturizer to seal this treatment. For those unaware – a moisturizer is an emollient-rich formula that creates a protective barrier on the dermis, preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss. - People with dry skin can try Foxtale’s Hydrating Moisturizer!

It boosts Collagen production and ensures healthy cellular renewal to combat fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and more. Results? Youthful and gorgeously radiant skin. Despite the active’s flurry of benefits, skincare beginners have reservations about Retinol for their skincare. The fear of purging, breakouts, photosensitivity and other flare-ups often outweigh the merits of Retinol. But is Retinol, in fact, a menacing ingredient? And if yes, what is the solution for beginners looking to reap its anti-ageing benefits? Let’s find out. Benefits Of Retinol Before we bust the myths surrounding Retinol (or not), let’s take a closer look at the ingredient’s benefits. 1. Anti-ageing: Inarguably the most popular anti-ageing ingredient, Retinol fights fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet by boosting Collagen in skin cells. Moreover, Retinol counters the free radicals that may damage your skin’s Collagen levels. 2. Prevents acne: The topical application of Retinol prevents unclogged pores, reducing future breakouts. You can also use Retinol to fight non-inflammatory like whiteheads and blackheads. 3. Ensures healthy cellular renewal: We know that the skin has a circadian rhythm which prioritizes repair and rejuvenation activities at night. Retinol helps aid this process by shedding dead skin and ensuring the healthy regeneration of skin cells. Does Retinol Cause Purging? The simple answer is yes. Regular Retinol is an unstable molecule. It often leaves residue on the skin’s surface, leading to purging and slow results. This is why many steer clear of Retinol despite its many benefits!

This allows better penetration of Retinol molecules into the deepest layers of the skin, ensuring visible results. 2. Retinol may lead to photosensitivity in some individuals. To prevent damage to your skin, we recommend using Retinol in your PM routine. 3. By now, we know that the skin has a circadian rhythm that prioritizes repair and renewal at night.
