Ayurvedic Tips for Combination Skin

Combination skin — oily in the T-zone, drier along the cheeks — can be tricky to manage with a single product. Ayurvedic care handles this by balancing rather than treating each area separately with different chemical actives.

A mild, balanced soap like Amokesha's Neem & Aloe Vera works well here — neem helps manage oiliness while aloe vera prevents the cleanse from feeling too drying on other areas of the face.

Follow with a light oil rather than a heavy cream, applied more generously on drier patches, to keep the whole face feeling balanced rather than treating it as two separate skin types.
