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.

I can’t say enough about all the Wild Ice products! The toner is light and refreshing and is the perfect addition to my skin routine. I highly recommend all her products if you are craving beautiful skin!
My face feels so hydrated and smooth. Love how it looks too
Started this 4 step set 2 weeks ago and was hooked after the 1st day. Can't wait to post my 6 week progress photo. With each use I keep changing my mind to which one is my favorite. I look forward every morning and evening to the fresh feel of washing and moisturizing my face. Thank you Mila for this beautiful product.
LOVVVEEEE IT! I feel immediately lifted as soon as I finish using it, and it is a wonderful face massage. I feel like I have treated myself, every time I use it.
I’m hooked on Cryo-C. This hydrates and makes my skin look youthful!
I love this body oil! It goes on smoothly and my skin feels amazing. I lobe using this when I get out of the shower. It smells amazing too!
I love this product. Not greasy or oily. Leaves my skin smooth and I love the smell. Since using this product, I constantly get told my skin looks beautiful and has a nice glow.
I have used several cleansers over the years and since trying the B-Meltee, I always come back to this product. It is a clean fragrance as well as a clean feeling without drying out my skin. I would recommend this product to all ages and all skin types. It will not disappoint, I promise.
I began using the cryo- C about six weeks ago and my skin has never looked better! The first thing you notice is how wonderful it smells, the second thing you notice is how it glides on and gives you an instant glow, and the next thing you notice overtime is that it provides a permanent dewy glow with diminished discoloration‘s and lines! I love love love this product! I’m 58❤️
This is truly the best system I’ve ever used. My skin is healthier - I’ve always had dry skin and finally it feels hydrated and the difference is visible. It even stayed hydrated feeling and looking on a 5 day ski trip, which always especially drys out my face. I’ve also had redness on my cheeks and that is slowly but noticeably decreasing. I gave wild ice to my daughters and best friend for Christmas as well and they are so happy with it and agree it’s a game changer for our skin. Thank you!
This class was such a great experience. Mila explains how the muscles in your face work and how to use her products to enhance your face and glow. I had so much fun as this class and I would definitely go to another one!
Love these products! My wrinkles are minimised with continual use and it’s an easy regimen. Try it!
This cleanser is light and refreshing, but does the heavy lifting of cleaning my face daily! I love how refreshed my face feels afterward- not dry or tight; just soft and clean! I have used Mila’s 4 step program for a year now and my skin has never looked better! I’m absolutely obsessed with each step and the benefits my skin has gotten from them. Clear, glowing, soft skin!
The entire Wild Ice line of products are what my skin responds to over any other product I've ever used. I do not hesitate to put any new Wild Ice product on my skin knowing I can trust the ingredients to do the job well. Just smelling the freshness of the products is a daily pleasure. And look no further than Mila's gorgeous skin for inspiration :)
So glad I found Mila again after her rebranding to Wild Ice. Her skin care line is the best I’ve found for my skin (and I’m sensitive to so many products) It’s a luxury I can’t do without
