Almost every person has some kind of problem. One has skin, the other has hair or something else. You need to understand this so as not to drive yourself into a corner by thinking that you are worse than everyone else. Some people struggle with their problems, others don’t pay attention to them. If you can't ignore it, try the following information and tips.
If you inherited such skin, then it will not be possible to solve this problem once and for all.
But there’s no need to be upset either. Happiness in life does not depend on the quality of your skin. Getting it in order will cost you more effort than everyone else. It all depends on how much time you are willing to sacrifice to solve the problem.
Over time, women the same age with good skin will age. And those with oily skin will look younger. The most important thing is to try not to torment your poor skin in all imaginable and inconceivable ways. Develop your own care rules and strictly adhere to them. For example:
The last tip is the most effective. We must not forget that the skin reflects internal state body. No matter what external measures are taken, the inflammation inside will be reflected on the face. Fruits and vegetables are the most faithful helpers in this task. It is necessary to prevent fermentation processes in the body. In fact, a woman’s complexion largely depends on the condition of her intestines.
Ways to combat enlarged pores on the face are described in this video:
Traditional methods of treating porous skin:
When buying peeling in a store, carefully read the instructions. It should be intended for skin with deep pores. Because incorrectly selected peeling can increase irritation and inflammation.
And, of course, remember that a person’s good, friendly character makes others not notice his shortcomings. Moreover, everyone has them.
The sebaceous glands of oily skin work harder, and they are the reason for the appearance of excess sebum. The male hormone testosterone is to blame for everything, which enhances their work, so oily skin has a thicker stratum corneum than normal skin.
But there is absolutely no reason for disorders: problematic skin is not a death sentence. In modern cosmetology there is a complex of products that eliminate shine. With proper care, your face will remain flawlessly matte even in the hottest weather.
In the summer, it is much more difficult to disguise oily shine, fine wrinkles and enlarged pores on the face with foundation. About what to do with problem skin during the hot period, we will tell you today.
The main way to combat enlarged pores is regular cleansing. In summer, due to dust and heat, the skin begins to sweat, which means it quickly becomes dirty. Therefore, it is very important to properly cleanse it during this period, using a gentle foam, gel or mousse that does not contain alkali, or salicylic acid-based products containing caring extracts and vitamins. Do not wash your face with soap and cold water, otherwise you will dry out your skin.
Too much hot water will stimulate the activity of the sebaceous glands. The same can be said about alcohol cleansers - they disrupt the hydrolipid balance and ultimately provoke even more sebum secretion.
If the skin is not only oily, but also sensitive (and this is more common), milk is ideal, allowing you to completely eliminate the negative effects of chlorinated water. Another alternative is cleansing wipes, which help quickly remove makeup, including around the eyes. Preference should be given to wipes containing aloe extract, oil tea tree and other anti-inflammatory components.
Light exfoliation is necessary once or twice a week. For this, use either scrubs or special cleansing masks, for example in the form of films that harden on the face. Great option- enzyme peels that gently dissolve fat and cleanse the skin of dead cells and dirt.
Products based on fruit acids have good exfoliating properties. But they have a disadvantage: they whiten the skin and increase its sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation, which means the risk of pigmentation may increase.
It is a mistake to think that oily skin does not need to be moisturized, but only dried. In summer, any type of skin needs additional moisture, and if you are over 25-30 years old, hydrating products should become an essential item. In hot weather, use emulsions, fluids and gels on water based. They have a light texture, are absorbed faster and do not leave shine.
When choosing a moisturizer, take the time to study its composition. The most effective products usually contain hyaluronic acid, which actively saturates the skin with moisture. Oily skin really likes products based on seaweed, plant extracts of chamomile and aloe, and jojoba oil. These ingredients have not only hydrating, but also sebum-regulating and soothing properties.
It is desirable to have antioxidants in daily products - vitamins C and E, white and green tea extracts. They have an anti-aging effect (prevent skin aging) and reliably protect the skin from the negative influence of the environment.
Before applying a light foundation to your skin, use a special makeup base. It degreases and mattifies the skin. It should be applied after daytime care. The base can be either transparent or colored (green masks redness well, pink will hide a grayish complexion, etc.). Stay away from cosmetics with lanolin, mineral oils and waxes. Although it softens and moisturizes the skin, it clogs the pores, which leads to the formation sebaceous plugs and to various inflammations.
It is better to use mineral cosmetics as decorative cosmetics. It not only mattifies the skin, but also regulates the functioning of the sebaceous glands. Mineral powders can be either compact or crumbly. The latter, by the way, look more natural on the face.
Into the daily care program oily skin It’s worth adding sebum-regulating products: lotions, tonics, night creams, serums. A good effect will be given by products containing zinc, licorice, chestnut, sage extracts, essential oils juniper and cypress. All of them control sebum production and gradually reduce it.
In addition, masks based on kaolin (white clay) are very useful. It is enough to do them 1-2 times a week. This procedure will quickly and effectively cleanse pores and even visually narrow them.
Tightens pores and improves complexion. Apply whipped egg white mixed with lemon zest to cleansed skin for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
Slightly dries out the skin. Apply low-fat kefir to your face with a cotton swab and wash off after 15 minutes.
Liimonnaya
Cleanses and brightens the skin. Mix 1 tsp. a spoonful of lemon juice with 20 g of yeast, add a little warm milk, apply to the skin for 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
Cucumber
Refreshes the skin. Grate the cucumber on a fine grater, add boric acid (in a ratio of 6:1). Apply for 10 minutes. Rinse and wipe skin with lotion.
One of the mandatory stages of summer care for skin prone to shine is protection from sun rays. For the city, the usual daytime or even foundation from 15.
But for long walks, and even more so for the beach, choose special products. For those with oily and sensitive skin, cosmetics with physical filters (titanium dioxide, zinc dioxide) are suitable. It is considered the safest in terms of comedogenicity (clogging the pores on the face) and has a slight mattifying effect. The texture of sunscreen products should also be as light as possible; it is better to give preference to gels and sprays that are completely imperceptible on the skin.
If your face shines during the day, mattifying wipes will help. A small piece of rice paper (branded manufacturers) or cellulose (simpler manufacturers) will remove excess oil from the skin, refresh and invigorate it, and give it a velvety feel. Typically, wipes are used to treat the T-zone of the face; additional bonus: you won’t have to use powder again.
Modern cosmetics manufacturers produce wipes that do not contain salicylic alcohol. They are effective due to microfibers and various polymer particles, on which special powdered substances are applied to give the skin a matte finish and make fine wrinkles and enlarged pores on the face invisible.
