Introduction for Natural Skin Care Routine
Combination skin can be tricky to understand. Some areas of your face feel oily and shiny, while others feel dry or slightly rough. Usually, the forehead, nose, and chin produce more oil, whereas the cheeks need extra hydration. When the skin is treated the same way all over, imbalance becomes more visible.
At Arurunaturals, we believe that healthy skin comes from gentle and consistent care. A natural skin care routine supports your skin’s ability to balance oil and moisture naturally, without overwhelming it with strong or aggressive products. Natural ingredients work gradually and gently, making them suitable for everyday skin care.
This guide shares a practical daily routine designed for Indian skin and climate. It focuses on simple steps, natural choices, and habits that help combination skin feel comfortable, fresh, and healthy every day.
Understanding Combination Skin
Combination skin shows different behavior in different areas of the face.
Common signs include:
- Oily forehead, nose, and chin
- Normal to dry cheeks
- Occasional breakouts in oily zones
- Skin feels unbalanced after washing
Weather changes, pollution, stress, and strong cleansers often increase this imbalance.
Why a Natural Skin Care Routine Works Best
A natural skin care routine focuses on balance, not control. Instead of removing all oil or heavily moisturizing the face, it supports the skin’s natural function.
Benefits of following natural care:
- Maintains healthy oil levels
- Keeps dry areas comfortable
- Reduces chances of irritation
- Suitable for daily use over long periods
Natural routines are especially helpful for Indian skin exposed to heat, humidity, and dust.
Morning Natural Skin Care Routine for Combination Skin
1. Cleanse Gently
Cleansing removes overnight oil buildup and prepares the skin for the day.
Natural cleansing options:
- Gram flour (besan) with water
- Mild herbal face wash
- Raw milk (2–3 times weekly)
Wash only once in the morning to avoid dryness.
2. Refresh with a Natural Toner
Toners help freshen the skin and reduce the greasy feel in oily areas.
Good natural toners include:
- Rose water (without alcohol)
- Diluted cucumber juice
Apply lightly using clean hands.
3. Moisturise Lightly (Do Not Skip)
When skin lacks hydration, it may try to compensate by producing more oil. Using a light moisturiser helps keep this balance steady.
- Aloe vera gel
- Aloe gel with a few drops of jojoba oil
Apply more on dry areas and less on the T-zone.
4. Protect from Sun Exposure
Sun exposure affects both oily and dry skin areas.
- Use a gentle, mineral-based sunscreen
- Apply daily, even on cloudy days
- Reapply when outdoors for long hours
This helps prevent tanning and uneven skin tone.
Night Natural Skin Care Routine for Combination Skin
Night care supports skin repair and recovery.
1. Cleanse Away Dirt and Sweat
Use a gentle cleanser to remove dust, sweat, and sunscreen from the day.
Avoid strong soaps or harsh scrubs at night.
2. Exfoliate Gently (Twice a Week)
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and keeps pores clear.
Natural exfoliation ideas:
- Oats powder mixed with curd
- Rice flour mixed with honey
Massage gently for a few seconds and rinse with plain water.
3. Nourish the Skin at Night
Skin absorbs nourishment better during sleep.
Natural night care options:
- Aloe vera gel with vitamin E (2–3 times weekly)
- Almond oil applied only to dry areas
Avoid applying heavy oils on oily zones.
Weekly Natural Face Packs for Combination Skin
Face packs used once a week help improve skin texture.
Suitable natural face packs:
- Multani mitti with rose water (T-zone only)
- Honey and curd mix (cheeks and dry areas)
Using different packs for different areas gives better results.
Common Skin Care Mistakes to Avoid
- Using harsh soaps or strong cleansers
- Skipping moisturiser completely
- Scrubbing the face every day
- Treating the whole face the same way
Combination skin benefits from area-based care.
Diet and Lifestyle Tips for Balanced Skin
Healthy habits support your natural skin care routine.
Simple lifestyle tips:
- Drink enough water daily
- Eat fruits, vegetables, and home-cooked food
- Reduce oily and fried foods
- Get proper sleep and manage stress
Skin health improves when care starts from within.
