Something as basic as a moisturiser can be super hard to find even in the best of times and when it comes to the combination skin type, the search is even harder. You need a formulation that is not greasy but hydrating, hence there are times when things turn tricky. When it comes to skincare, it's never one size fits all and with combination skin types, things can get a little out of hand when it comes to picking the right moisturiser. Combination skin happens to be oily on the T-zone while the cheeks and jawline are dry, hence you need a formulation that suits your skin. Here's your checklist of things that you need to keep in mind when picking a moisturiser for a combination skin type.

Step By Step Guide To Choose A Moisturiser For Combination Skin
Check The Formulation
One thing that you absolutely must check when picking a moisturiser has to be the formulation. Lightweight is the keyword to look for when selecting a moisturiser for combination skin. A lightweight formulation usually is absorbed super quickly into the skin and does not feel greasy at the same time. You need the formula to be hydrating and comforting enough to suit your skin type.
Needs To Be Oil Free
Usually while picking a product, we can be quite careless about checking the ingredients or the base of that product. You must go for oil-free products made with water preferably as a base. A water-based formulation tends to restore the balance of your skin.

Check The Ingredients
Ingredients are super essential in any formulation and when it comes to picking a moisturiser for combination skin types. Always opt for lightweight and gentle ingredients that help in soothing the skin and making it soft and supple. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, squalane and more are always a plus. Green tea happens to be another great ingredient to look out for while choosing formulations.
Look Out For Sun Protection
No matter what moisturiser you are opting for, it needs to have a certain amount of SPF content to protect your skin from damage. It will eventually protect the dryer parts and prevent the oily parts from tanning faster than the rest of your face.
