Sensitive Combination Skin Face Routine

Sensitive combination skin is a common skin type, and we know that this might surprise many people, as skin sensitivity is usually associated with dryness. However, many of us have combination skin and lots of us also have sensitive skin, so it makes sense that these two appear together for a lot of us.

Everything in our Nakin Natural Anti-Ageing Skincare range is made with sensitive skin in mind and is also suitable for combination skin. Lots of customers with sensitive skin particularly have skin irritation around the eyes and and our Eye Cream Complex is perfect for this, as it is calming to skin around the eyes. For the rest of the face and neck one product that we would recommend for sensitive skin is our Revitalising Face Oil as it is hydrating and nourishing, plus healing and calming. It also gives skin a lovely glow. You might feel that a face oil is not suitable for combination skin with oily patches, however it can be really balancing for oily skin areas, as well as hydrating the dry areas, plus helping to heal the sensitivity.

For combination sensitive skin you could actually use anything in our face products collection and can pick from 2 options for a face cream. The Active Dew Cream if your skin is on the drier side, or the Matt Formula Face Cream if it is more oilier combination skin.

If you are looking for a simple routine, then you could try the products below. 

• Begin your routine with our Advanced Cleansing Milk which is an oil-based cleanser that cleanses the face while hydrating and comforting at the same time with the hyaluronic acid and the plant cleansing and conditioning extracts. Clean away with damp cotton wool, a cloth, or when in the shower.
• Use our Eye Cream Complex for the eye area which is hydrating, line smoothing and energising from its plant peptide, hyaluronic acid and stimulating plant and marine extracts.
• Then use our Revitalising Face Oil for your face and neck. The oil is rich and nutritious without being greasy. It helps to heal the skin barrier and immediately calms skin and leaves a lovely glow, plus is great at helping with stressed skin issues like dryness or sensitivity.
• Seal all the goodness in with our Active Dew Face Cream which hydrates, nourishes and protects the skin with hyaluronic acid, cassia, pomegranate and plant oils. It is for normal, combination, dry and sensitive skin. This is for day and night use and our Matt Cream is better for oilier skin types.

If you prefer a face wash then you could try our Rejuvenating Face Wash. It gives skin a really thorough clean and we usually recommend the cleansing milk for sensitive skin. If you are able to use our toner then our Purifying Face Toner is excellent for combination skin. Instead of the oil you could also use our Performance Face Serum which is hydrating, calming and excellent at easing lines naturally, with the hibiscus peptide and many other natural ingredients such as hyaluronic acid.

For those with sensitive combination skin, establishing a gentle yet effective skincare routine is really beneficial. All you really need is effective natural products. Start your routine by cleansing with a mild product to remove impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Next, apply a lightweight treatment like an oil or serum, plus an eye cream, then follow with a face cream. Before going outside use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect against UVA and UVB rays. In the evening, repeat the process to boost and support skin repair overnight. Remember, when introducing new products, patch test first and give your skin time to adjust.
