Combination skin

A T-zone that is already shiny by mid-morning, and cheeks that feel tight. A cream that suits the cheeks makes the forehead impossible; a mattifying product leaves the cheekbones rough. Having combination skin means living with two different skins on the same face, and the most common mistake is to indulge one while sacrificing the other. The combination skin treatments by Ischia Beauty Officine Termali aim for balance instead: lightweight formulas that hydrate without weighing down and purify without drying, thanks to the exclusive thermal water of Ischia.

Ischia thermal water is particularly suited to this skin type precisely because of its rebalancing nature: hyperthermal at 70 °C, salso-sulfate-alkaline-earthy and certified for cosmetic use by prestigious Independent Italian Institutions, it delivers minerals without adding oils. On this base, Ischia Beauty builds lightweight textures that answer both of the face's needs at once.

It all starts with a cleanse that doesn't push the T-zone to get worse. The multivitamin thermal cleansing milk cleanses gently while respecting the skin's balance, while the alcohol-free hydrating thermal toner rebalances without alcohol, and therefore without triggering sebum overproduction. The Ischia thermal water spray refreshes and sets make-up throughout the day.

For hydration, Ischia Beauty recommends two lightweight textures. The H24 hydrating cream with thermal water microspheres is fresh and ideal for daily use on normal or combination skin, with +49.5% hydration after one hour; the hydrating and smoothing anti-aging hyaluronic gel is lighter still and provides long-lasting hydration without weighing down the T-zone. They are two different answers to the same need: hydrating without adding greasiness.

The weekly treatment is where combination skin finds its real balance. The purifying creamy mud face mask with grey mineral clay and tea tree oil purifies the T-zone while providing hydration at the same time, which is why it suits all skin types and not just oily areas. The face and body exfoliating gel, with natural micro-granules and essential oils of Piperna and tea tree, smooths and rebalances once or twice a week.

The most useful advice for combination skin is not to fear hydration: it is dehydration that makes shine worse. Those who want a ready-made path will find the pairing of H24 cream and booster serum in the Hydra Intense Advanced Routine, and the purifying ritual in the Thermal Detox Kit. You can find other treatments in the purifying and remineralizing and oily skin collections, all with Ischia thermal water in the formula.
