Peanut butter and jelly, a rainy day and a good book: some combinations are a match made in heaven. But there’s one combination we could do without: combination skin.
Luckily, this skincare quandary doesn’t have to be your reality forever. We’re sharing a simple, natural combination skincare routine that can help bring your skin into balance.
Combination skin is exactly what it sounds like; a mix of multiple skin types. Typically, people with combo skin experience oily skin in their T-zone: their forehead, nose and chin. The rest of their skin (like their cheeks and jawline), tends to be overly-dry.
If the skin in your T-zone is shiny and oily even after you’ve washed it, that’s a sign that you may have combination skin. This is especially true if you’re also experiencing dry patches or rough skin on your cheeks and jawline at the same time.
Just like any other skin issue, there are many factors that can be contributing to your combination skin. Let’s review a few of the most common ones:
Diet: Many folks who have skincare issues find that they have to say goodbye to wine and cheese nights. Alcohol and dairy are two large contributors to acne, oily skin and other issues.
Dairy is high in hormones that can disrupt the delicate balance of hormones in your body, leading to oily skin. On the other side of the spectrum, alcohol is dehydrating, so in excess it can lead to dry skin.
Similarly, foods high in salt or foods that are fried can dehydrate and damage your skin over time.
Your environment: Especially if you’re spending time in a new location, your skin may be struggling to adjust to a new environment. Extra dry air and humidity can throw your skin off balance.
Sometimes the best solution here is to give your skin adequate time to adjust, along with taking good care of your health and staying hydrated. A gentle skincare routine can also help your skin adapt, which we’ll get to shortly!
Genetics: Unfortunately, you may have inherited more than just your dad’s resourcefulness or your mom’s green thumb. You may have also been gifted with their oily skin genes. Again, a nourishing skincare routine can help to correct this.
Hormones: Ahh hormones. When they’re out of whack, you’re surely going to know it. One of the many ways wonky hormones can manifest is in issues with your skin. If this is the case, it may take more than just the right serum or moisturizer to balance your skin. You’ll likely need to work with a practitioner to investigate and address the source of your imbalance.
The wrong skincare products: Using harsh, preservative- or fragrance-filled products can damage your skin and its pH balance, leading to combination skin. Conversely, you may also be avoiding a product that you actually need to be using, like moisturizer.
Many times, people with combination skin will be told to use two different sets of products to address their skin concerns: one set of products for oily skin and another for dry skin. However, here at Wild Ice we don’t think that’s the best way to go.
For one thing, that’s a lot of extra expense! But also, using two different sets of products designed for certain skin types means you’ll only be putting a bandage on the problem. Instead, we think it’s much more prudent to find a solution.
And the solution, for many people, is to use a gentle and nourishing skincare routine that focuses on entirely natural and toxin-free products. This can help to bring your skin naturally into balance, so that combination skin is a thing of the past.
Here is the skincare routine we recommend using our entirely non-toxic, preservative-free and cold-kept skincare line:
All products at Wild Ice are kept cold until the moment we ship them to you. This way, we can avoid using any toxic preservatives that only make your combination skin worse. Keeping our skincare cold also keeps it potent and nutrient-dense, so you get the best results possible.
Get started with the 4-Step Facial Set today and watch combination skin become a thing of the past.
Mila (pronounced 'mee-luh') is mother of three, wife, and founder of Wild Ice, an all-natural cold-preserved skincare line dedicated to bringing the best of care to women everywhere.

I love my mist and my vitamin C serum. Makes my skin glow It was nice to see you at Rosemary Beach a few weeks ago
The Cyro-C serum is by far the best vitamin C serum I have ever used. I love skincare so much and you can tell this product is made with care. The smell is amazing and I get complimented almost daily about how my face looks glowing since I started using. Mila was so kind and knowledgeable. I will definitely be rebuying once I run out!
I have oily/combination skin, so I pump/mix both and then apply, otherwise it’s too oily and doesn’t absorb quickly. This works so well! It makes your skin smell great even hours after application. I only wish this trick for oily skin was on the instructions of bottle. I didn’t realize until I saw it on one of their insta stories. Great product otherwise!
I love the body bars!🤗❤️
They keep my skin feeling soft and clean.
I highly recommend them specially if you dry skin.
I love the 4-step facial products. The routine is easy and simple and the results are amazing. This is one of the best product lines I have used on my face, and I can really see a difference in my skin. I first purchased two of the products at Market Days in Tallahassee. When I finished the products, I went back to what I was using previously. It was not long until I decided that Wild Ice is the perfect product line for me and my dry skin. I am hooked.
I recently found these products and amazing creator at our local farmers market and all I can say is WOW! I was instantly sold from the moment I applied the cold-kept cream to my skin. I'll absolutely be going back for more from her skincare line and watching allll of her informative videos on their social media page
This is absolute gold in a bottle that smells like fresh oranges. My skin is sensitive and I do have rosacea and it drinks Cryo-C up! My complexion has greatly improved and am so happy I made the splurge. This, along with the toner, are new repeat buys for my skin routine. I look forward to my skin routine AM & PM just because it feels and smells amazing!
This has improved my skin and is very refreshing. I have sensitive skin and rosacea and this has not caused any breakouts. I use this with Cryo-C and absolutely love it! Will definitely be a repeat buy to my skin routine.
I recently purchased the complete skin care package and I absolutely love it! I’m having a hard time deciding which product is my favorite. The cleanser makes my skin so soft and helps with my overall skin appearance, The serum brightens my skin, one of the best I’ve tried and the moisturizer! It has improved every single issue I’ve been concerned with. Love love love the entire collection! Thank you so much!
Love the whole line, but my favorite is the vitamin C! It gives me such a nice glow. Everything smells great too!
Yuki-Onna Facial: Three Seed and White Willow Restorative Mask
I highly recommend the facial cleanser! My skin feels so soft and clean after using. I have combination skin. At 58 years of age I finally found a product that works for me!!
I use this daily after washing my skin as a moisturizer.. it has made my skin very soft and fresh…love it!!
I just started with this to see how my skin took it before I invested in any more products. I have used it consistently for several weeks and WOW. My skin literally feels more healthy and looks it, too! And my husband is always telling me I smell good right after I put it on. :)
I found this product at the Rosemary Beach farmers market. It is amazing! Have been using it for 2 weeks and my skin feels wonderful. I have rosacea and use others products for it, but this adds to the regimen and soathes your face. Love that it is cold (if you put it in fridge) which is so calming in the summer!
