It is that time of the year. Who would have guessed this season can affect your skin. For those who are on the trail looking for helpful products that can alleviate combination skin you are not alone.
I want to tell you, winter is not a favorite for some, especially if skin tends to be oily and dry. And we are in combination mode. During the morning we doll up to go to work. And all that moisture we want and non creasing formula makeup steps we did doesn’t have a plan to stay throughout the day. It is cakey and makes us look worse than we ever had when we did not doll up. It is frustrating to say the least, all the work to look manageable just wouldn’t.
And this season of dry coldness? I know because I have been in that scenario.
I was studying for Vocational School. I sweat a lot and my make up wouldn’t stay looking managed. When I do wear makeup for the day. I try to moisturize but I don’t know the proper step and what products that I can prep my face with for a clean canvas before makeup. I know I have to incorporate gradually to my skin care routine even nightly but never had the chance to do look into it. My cleansers I know strip off my skin barrier because I do not know any better. I can feel the cleanser I used and toner made my face peel because when I started using these it was drier than before.
What I learn from that is I do better with skin ingredients that replenish and mold my skin barrier back to that resilience and glow. Because it was stripped too much from abrasive cleansers and toners that (I can even feel after applying) irritated and dried my skin.
Then I learn after reading and observing products, what makes a better product for my skin. I tend to be close to formulations that are gentle in the skin. Nourishing the skin barrier and keep intact. And then this sequence I have written from my other blog article works when you think about it.
Try this order:
Cleanse
Hydrating toner
Serum
Moisturizer
Tiny drop of facial oil (press, don’t rub)
Sunscreen
The Cleansing After Makeup Wear
PRODUCT # 1: The Face Shop Rice Water Cleanser
Best for: All skin types.
Apart from drying skin remedy, this is a type of cleanser that is non-abrasive. This gently removes make up cleanly because of its soapy consistency it lathers well on the face and no granular beads. The cleanser doesn't leave the pores open and vulnerable because you wash your face with cold water after lathering. And it does the job to minimize enlarged pores. It makes the skin soft and balanced, not dry or oily.
- Recommends to wash away makeup not abrasively.
- Not drying because of rice ingredient formulation.
- Doesn’t leave the face oily but balanced after cleanse.
I believe this product has all my boxes checked. My mom got most of the product this time but I still do use it when cleansing. Especially after I wear makeup in the daytime. If I ran out of this again, I would get another one.
This is the one I’d start with for cleansing.

How do we even know these products if we don’t try? I know everyone has different wishes for outcomes on what their skin care can achieve. Some of this is curated for you so you won’t have to look hard to achieve a skin that glows, cared for, and is healthy, and manageable. Right?
Ton-her Skin The Right Way
PRODUCT # 2: Hayejin Rice Milk Hydrating Face Toner
Best for: Dry to combo skin, sensitive routines
It removes dry patches and makes skin hydrated and moisturized.
- Gentle formula non drying.
- Improve your skin’s dry state.
- Use it frequently to notice skin hydration and smoothness.
Since this is another rice formulation, I believe that this could go hand in hand after cleansing. The formula is not heavy so it doesn’t clog even the closed pores. While some products do because of heavy formulation. If you have sensitive skin together with a combination skin, or just sensitive skin, this will work out well.
The second step we need. Look for it here.
This is the time to glow up. When having this article for a spare time read but need this in your life.
The Serum That Keeps Your Skin Hydrated
PRODUCT # 3: Medicube Triple Collagen Lightweight Serum
Best for: All Skin Types
A lightweight serum that makes the target spots which are face and neck remove texture concerns. It smoothes skin and improves overall appearance.
- Perfect for cakey makeup with face hydrated before applying.
-Deeply nourishes.
-Supports skin firmness.
I love how it deeply nourishes the skin. And the lightweight formula gives this a plus so that it doesn’t look like products are piling on skin even before you apply make up which if it is then you have the after effects of dryness.
Thirdly, to check. If you want to know more.
It is just because we know we are hanging in for dear life on what to do with our different skin types. So here is also what this article offers you about what others are using.
Moisturize And Keep It Locked
PRODUCT # 4: Medicube Triple Collagen Moisturizer
Best for: All Skin Types
A moisturizer that doesn’t dull complexity and has an effect of plumpness working with skin’s elasticity to resilience not working against it. While locking in moisture.
-Can be worn before makeup to keep complexion not drab.
-A formulation barrier that hydrates.
-Locks in that glow.
This soft triple collagen formula has it. I know collagen rejuvenates not only skin because of its anti-aging properties but also good for keratin production for nail and hair strength.
You can see it here if you’re curious.
Facial Oil Must Keep
PRODUCT # 5: Ordinary Organic Rose Hip Oil
Best for: All Skin Types
A facial oil that hydrates and locks in moisturizer (applied before this step) and evens skin tone.
-Does not make a dull complexion.
-Evens skin tone.
This is the exact version I recommend.
This step adds a layer of assurance that also hydrates and evens skin tone.
We are almost done with the steps to make our skin care an easy routine. Hang tight!
Screen The Sun-Good For Skin
PRODUCT # 6: Abib Sunscreen Protection Bar
Best for: All Skin Types
No white cast but works beautifully under makeup. This sunscreen doesn’t make the applied foundation move. It hinders unwanted freckles due to its strong SPF.
- Perfect for cakey makeup with face protected before applying.
-Keep more unwanted freckles due to sun exposure.
I can really see the difference with this at the end of the day. Skin feels protected and feels safe I have SPF 50+ at my side.
This is the one I’d start with.
All of these products are matched with hope in mind to keep self from second guesses and this article keeps it neatly in order of steps that can alleviate the pain points to what matches skin for the right products. At least generally, the majority of products listed for this article are for all skin types. I still encourage you to do a little research. If you need one or two to add to your skin routine, even if you try it, you are free to do that too. Always use caution and a skin patch test. Not for people who have fixed on their go to products that are not listed here.
I am using some products listed here. And I have seen better than results. These products are generally for all skin types. And keep in mind it not only brings my skin to life and protects me from the sun which causes rapid skin aging. And products like gentle formula serums bring lovely barriers from the elements that contributes to dry skin. A manageable routine that gives a boost of happy confidence.
I keep all my favorites in one place so you don’t have to search or compare endlessly.
