If your have combination or oily skin, you may find that your skin feels comparatively thick and strong; skin is shiny around the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin); some pores may look open; and your make-up will not last well.
(1) It is important to cleanse oily skin throughly, but gently so as not to cause irritation and to help it stay in balance. Use a foaming gel with purifying essential oils such as peppermint, cypress and lemon.
(2) Witch hazel and rosemary extract will tone thee skin, while zinc will help to balance the acid mantle. An alcohol-free clarifying toner will refresh the complexion.
