Proper care for oily skin

Flawless matte skin, like the girls on the covers of glossy magazines, is not every woman’s dream. But the reality is that almost every woman faces one or another skin problem. One of these is oily skin. Of course, oily skin ages later, you don’t need to nourish it all the time, but it also causes a lot of problems.

Oily facial skin - typical problems

Oily skin is immediately visible. Here you can find a shiny shine in any weather, enlarged pores, blackheads, and inflammation. All these phenomena occur not only during adolescence, when hormonal changes occur in the body.

Many women face similar problems in adulthood. Such ladies know what constantly running makeup is, shadows gathering in the folds of the eyelid, kilograms of foundation on the skin in an attempt to cover up the treacherous acne. All these troubles arise due to improper facial care and increased activity of the sebaceous glands.

How to care for oily skin

Oily skin requires special care. Here you need to act subtly and delicately so as not to spoil your already problematic skin even more.

Many ladies try to use potent products to cleanse oily skin. They assume that by degreasing the skin, they will achieve a flawlessly matte effect. But the result is disastrous - the sebaceous glands begin to work even more actively and the face becomes oily even faster.

To cleanse your face, use only special products designed specifically for oily skin. They contain special ingredients that can gently and effectively remove dirt and makeup. Wash your face with this product both morning and evening.

Do not squeeze pimples yourself. This will only provoke an inflammatory process. Cleaning should be carried out exclusively by a professional cosmetologist, who will do it as efficiently and carefully as possible.

Do not use scrubs and peels too often. Some women carry out such a radical cleansing almost every day. But the result is the opposite - the skin produces sebum even more. Use scrubs no more than twice a week. And under no circumstances use a scrub on inflamed areas - the skin restoration process will be very delayed.

How to remove oily shine from your face

A matte skin effect can only be achieved with comprehensive care. First of all, cleanse oily skin properly. Use only products for oily skin. It is best to use gel or foam for washing or micellar water. Such products gently cleanse the skin, do not irritate it and have an antibacterial effect.

After cleansing, be sure to wipe your face with toner or lotion for oily skin. Don't neglect these resources. This will remove any remaining cleanser from your face and reduce enlarged pores.
The next step is to apply moisturizer. Don't think that oily skin doesn't need to be moisturized. This is wrong. Use light creams for oily skin. They do not clog pores and create a matte effect. Try to use all products from the same series. This way you will be sure that they fit each other exactly and the effect will be more complete.

How to reduce oily skin

To reduce oily skin, use slightly warm water to wash your face. Too hot water causes the pores to produce more sebum. After finishing washing, wipe your face with pieces of cosmetic ice. Such ice can be made independently from decoctions of medicinal herbs - calendula, chamomile, St. John's wort. Take steam baths with medicinal herbs every week. This will get rid of oiliness and cure acne.

Use the right decorative cosmetics. For oily skin, foundations that have a light texture and do not clog pores are suitable. Use only loose powder, preferably mineral-based. This powder applies well, perfectly masks imperfections and does not sink into pores.

Masks for oily skin

Beneficial for oily skin masks made from natural ingredients. Here are a few homemade mask recipes that will be beneficial for oily skin:

• Oatmeal mask for cleansing. Mix ground oatmeal with whipped egg white to a mushy consistency and cover your face with the mixture. After 20 minutes, remove the paste with cool water.
• A kefir mask will cleanse oily skin and dry it. Just spread low-fat kefir on your face for 15 minutes. This mask should be removed with slightly warm water.

• To tighten pores and moisturize the skin, use a mask of whipped egg white and lemon juice. It is applied for 20 minutes and removed with slightly acidified warm water.

Products for oily skin

Almost every cosmetic company now produces its own line of products for oily skin. You can do it simply - choose a certain brand of cosmetics and use the products for oily skin from this cosmetic company in combination. But if you want to choose your own funds, here are some recommendations:

• Use clay-based masks. They perfectly disinfect the skin and remove excess sebum.
• Use sugar scrubs - they do not injure the skin or dry it out.
• To tighten pores and mattify the skin, use toners that contain green tea.
• Wipe your skin with pieces of ice from mineral water or herbal decoction. This will help make your skin look matte and reduce the appearance of pores.
