In the summer, we only wear fewer clothes, but we also use cosmetics less. So, any skin imperfections as in appearance. And if in the off-season you can "hide" prone to inflammation or the skin with dilated pores under a good tonalnik, then it is in summer that you should bring your face to the best possible condition.
We have beaches and work, walks in the hot sun and dates, which means that care for oily skin in the summer should not be minimized. On the contrary, it is during the hot season of the year that this type of skin "gives" owners the maximum of problems and delivers a lot of hassle.
Care for oily skin in the summer begins with proper daily cleansing and toning. And if at other times of the year you can get by with ordinary means, then in the heat it is best to change care in accordance with seasonality.
We wash!
Find a cleansing gel from a good manufacturer - after all, all kinds of cream, milk, other products that are applied to a cotton pad - this is the prerogative of dry and normal skin. And for oily skin, especially in the heat, there is nothing better than washing!
Do not wash with hot or cold water. Room temperature is an ideal option. And the product itself should be fairly drying.
Further care for oily skin in the summer includes a very important stage - toning. Tonics, which either come complete with a facial cleanser, or are included in it (2 in 1), proved to be excellent. The latter option will suit even the most lazy and busy girls. After all, such care takes very little time!
Toning!
Toning the skin is necessary - because it is not coping with the cleaning function, it "gives out" surprises like gum and acne. And in summer, in conditions of heat (and, therefore, increased bacterial multiplication, and dust, sand on the skin) this is especially important.
How to make the skin "not shine"?
I do not know about you, but I get annoyed in the transport and in the shops by women who wipe their faces with kerchiefs. Usually, they have very sad eyes and tired face skin. Whether it is possible to get rid of shine, or for owners of a fat skin such problem - for ever?
From my own experience I can say that the skin can hardly shine in the heat. And super-powders are not needed here. The only thing that really needs the skin is moisturizing.
"How so?" - you will say. "You need to dry your skin, so it does not shine!". And yet on the surface of the skin there is a very thin layer of water. It has protective functions and is very important for the skin. And the appearance of a greasy shine is primarily due to the lack of moisture. Skin as can compensate for lack of moisture, and first of all - due to fat. So, care for oily skin in the summer should include the most powerful moisturizing cream, which is only available.
Moisturize and protect from photoaging under the full program!
Do not be afraid to wet your skin - in hot weather it's almost impossible! And about the fact that the skin is "so fatty", cosmetologists distinguish between skin nutrition (it really only needs two types - dry and normal), and moisturizing, which every skin type needs every day.
Another important point is the SPF-factor of the cream. Protection from both types of ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) is a guarantee of healthy and young skin. Therefore, in the summer, even if you want to brag of a tanned face, you need to use a cream with SPF not less than 8. Fortunately, most creams can adequately protect the skin. And even those that are not marked with SPF, usually have a value of about 4 units.
Apply the cream for half an hour before leaving home. Therefore, most likely, at first - cream, and then - morning coffee :) And if in winter this requirement is due to the fact that unabsorbed water-containing creams can cause burns, then in summer - on the skin the cream should have time to create the already mentioned "protective" layer.
So, let's summarize. Caring for oily skin in summer is:
- Washing with a drying agent 2 times a day,
- Using a tonic that closes the pores,
- Applying moisturizing cream to create a protective "water" layer (to avoid greasy shine)
- Seasonal cream with SPF-8.
