Prevention and Cure:

At LanaB we suggest the following products from our range and the following skin care tips to balance combination/sensitive skin.

• Firstly we recommend  cleansing the skin with our  Foaming Facial Cleanser for Problem Skin. Tea Tree Essential Oil is well known for it's antiseptic properties but it also has antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties and has been used for many years in the treatment of acne, skin irritations, rashes, blackheads and even cold sores. Lavender Essential Oil's benefits to the skin can be attributed to its antiseptic and antifungal properties, making it an ideal match with tea tree essential oil. It is used to help heal and soothe various skin disorders such as acne, pimples, psoriasis, and other inflammations.
  
• Secondly toning the skin with our Natural Freshener/Toner in Lavender helps removes any last traces of cleanser, adds extra moisture in the form of Aloe Vera and prepares the skin for the moisturiser. Lavender essential oil helps balance the skin, making it an ideal oil for combination skin.
  
• The third and final step in the process is to add moisture to the skin. At LanaB we not only do this but we also add active ingredients to our moisturisers that are beneficial for each skin type. For combination skin we recommend using our Fresh Face Lotion in original. Our original formula nourishes the cells that are forming below the surface of your skin so they are stronger and healthier when they reach the top layer. This is a great choice for combination and slightly dry or mature skin types.
  
• Wash your face twice a day with our Foaming Facial Cleanser for Problem skin. 
  Use the Freshener/Toner on the oily areas only.
  Apply the Fresh Face Lotion to the dry areas as needed.  
   

Combination skin can often be treated successfully by the above methods however if the problem persists or is severe then it might be best to get professional advice and care.
