Step One: Cleanse
Morning & Evening
Place a quarter-size amount of Cleansing Lotion in the palm of clean hands. Using your fingertips, gently massage Cleansing Lotion onto all areas of your dampened face and neck for at least 30 seconds before rinsing.
Pro tip: Avoid using hot water to keep from dehydrating your skin. Lukewarm water should be used instead.

Step Two: Refresh
Morning & Evening
Mist Tone & Balance over the face and neck to remove last traces of dirt, makeup and debris from the skin while minimizing redness and inflammation. As the name implies, Tone & Balance helps to keep the skin in proper balance and is, therefore, beneficial to combination skin types.
Pro tip: Use Tone & Balance throughout the day to keep your skin nurtured and feeling comfortable. Tone & Balance can also be used to set makeup, in place of aftershave, to calm the discomfort of sunburn, in place of body lotion after a bath or shower, and more.

Step Three: Exfoliate
Morning & Evening
Place a nickel-size amount of AloeGlyC® in the palm of your hand. Using fingertips, massage AloeGlyC onto all areas of face and neck using upward and outward circles. Continue until blue vitamin C beads have dissolved. Take caution to avoid eyes.
Pro tip: If you are starting AloeGlyC for the first time, dilute it with moisturizer and only use it at night. Decrease dilution and increase usage over a two-week period.

More Information for Combination Skin Type
Caring for combination skin can be confusing. With an oily t-zone (forehead, nose, and occasionally, the chin) and dry cheeks, those with combination skin often resort to implementation of two separate skin care routines for their face. Not only is this time intensive, it is also expensive. To streamline the skin care routine for combination skin, Lexli recommends using products that can improve the overall condition of the skin with an emphasis on achieving proper hydration levels.
The Lexli skin care routine for combination skin includes the following key elements:
-
Cleanse
Use of a gentle daily cleanser that removes dirt, impurities and excess oil while preserving the skin’s acid mantle. -
Exfoliate
Use of a chemical exfoliator to slough away dead, dry skin and improve texture while keeping pores clear. -
Treat Dry Areas
Application of moisture-rich serums to those areas of the face that experience dryness. -
Moisturize
Use of a lightweight moisturizer during the day and a richer formulation in the evening. -
Protect
Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect skin from UV damage. -
Maintain Hydration
Throughout the day, apply a gentle toner to keep skin hydrated and comfortable while minimizing inflammation.
Most individuals with combination skin do well with use of a lightweight daytime moisturizer that includes SPF and a richer nighttime moisturizer. Individuals who have significant oiliness in the t-zone will want to use Lexli Daytime Moisturizer for Oily Skin in the t-zone morning and evening.
Finally, it’s important to recognize that some individuals who believe they have combination skin actually have skin that becomes oilier in the warmer, humid climate of summer and drier when temperatures drop in the winter. In such cases, it is often more appropriate to switch between an oily and dry skin care routine rather than implement the combination skin care routine outlined here.
