Sensitive combination skin

What is sensitive combination skin?

Sensitive combination skin is a specific skin type that has both dry and oily skin areas. This skin type is often prone to blemishes, blackheads (comedones) and redness, such as those found in rosacea-sensitive skin.

• T-zone: The areas of the forehead, nose and chin are typically oily and shiny due to increased sebum production.
• Cheek and neck area: These areas tend to be dry, which leads to an imbalance in the skin.

Causes of Blackheads and Pimples

Blackheads occur when a sebaceous gland produces excessive sebum and clogs the pore. When this clogged pore becomes inflamed, a pimple forms. The most common causes of blemishes include:

• Hormonal imbalance
  Fluctuations in hormone levels can affect sebum production.
• stress
  Stress can put additional strain on the skin and promote blemishes.
• Unhealthy diet
  An unbalanced diet can have a negative effect on the skin.
• Disturbed intestinal flora
  Inadequate detoxification through the intestines can also lead to skin blemishes.
• Comedogenic ingredients
  Certain substances in cosmetics can irritate the skin and promote pimples.

Sensitive combination skin - This really helps

Avoid emulsifiers

Products with emulsifiers weaken the skin barrier and make your skin more sensitive to external stimuli, especially with regular use. A disrupted skin barrier and the changed skin environment caused by emulsifiers can also disrupt the natural skin microbiome. The microbiome protects the skin from harmful microbial germs and environmental factors. If this balance is disrupted, the skin becomes more susceptible to inflammation and hypersensitivity. Therefore, all myrto facial care for sensitive combination skin is free of emulsifiers, which provides optimal protection for the skin.

Look for anti-comedogenic ingredients

Choosing the right skin care products is crucial for the health of sensitive combination skin. Products with non-comedogenic ingredients are essential. Cold-pressed plant oils that balance the skin are particularly recommended:

• Grape seed oil: Strengthens the natural protective layer, ensures an even complexion and works against calluses. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
• Jojoba oil: Regulates sebum production and accelerates the healing of existing pimples because it cannot be metabolized by the P. acnes bacteria.
• Argan oil: Has an antibacterial effect, increases moisture retention and improves the appearance of acne-prone skin.
• Black cumin oil: Contains linoleic acid, has anti-inflammatory effects and relieves itching and allergic reactions.
• Tamanu oil: Soothes impure and reddened skin, has a healing effect on wounds, scars and eczema.

In addition, the high-dose plant extracts in the myrto facial serums have an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect, with ingredients such as beta-glucan, licorice root, willow bark and green tea.

Strengthen your skin's acid mantle

The grape seed care series has a pH skin-neutral value of 5.0 to 5.5, which strengthens the natural acid mantle. This stabilizes the skin's moisture content and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and viruses that can cause skin blemishes and inflammation.

Avoid drying & irritating additives

The myrto organic grape seed facial care M is specially formulated for sensitive combination skin and does not contain any drying ingredients or irritating additives. Potentially irritating preservatives, fragrances and alcohol are not used. While alcohol can balance out the oily shine in the short term, in the long term it leads to a compensatory increase in sebum production, which worsens the problem. We therefore recommend, among other things, the mild, pH-skin-neutral grape seed cleansing cream and the grape seed facial cream without alcohol and fragrances.

Sensitive combination skin requires targeted and gentle care. By choosing the right products and ingredients, the complexion can be improved, impurities can be minimized and the skin can be brought into balance. The myrto products offer effective solutions for the special challenges that sensitive combination skin brings with it.
