To begin with, I want to conduct a kind of "relaxation procedure" for women with oily skin, whose goal is to form a positive attitude. What for? When you achieve any result, you need to have an optimistic attitude and believe in its effectiveness. So it is here. Knowing the dignity of your skin, you just believe that you are a happy owner of oily skin. So, what are the advantages of oily skin?
First, the owners of oily skin are least likely to develop early wrinkles. Secondly, oily skin is provided with natural natural lubricant, which protects it from dehydration and drying. Thirdly, with age, when the hormonal background of the body is restored, the fat content of the skin decreases significantly and therefore it does not cause much trouble. Fourth, owners of dry skin envy the owners of oily, and with proper care oily skin delivers as much trouble as delivering dry or sensitive skin.
And now let's go directly to cosmetic procedures for oily skin of the face. So, what does oily skin require? Like every other skin, oily skin needs immediate basic care, namely: in cleansing, toning and moisturizing, as well as in special care for oily skin of the face. Let's talk about each procedure in more detail.
Cleansing oily skin
Cleansing oily skin should be done at least twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, and also if necessary in the afternoon. The modern market of cosmetic products offers to our attention a whole range of different gels, foams and mousses for cleansing oily skin of the face. Their liquid, foaming consistency is ideal for cleansing oily skin.
When cleansing oily skin, two basic rules should be followed: avoid washing with hot water, and excessive drying of the skin, especially soap. If your skin is peeling, it is recommended to apply a liquid cream, vegetable oil or kefir before washing it.
It is useful: wash in the morning with cold water, and also wipe the skin with ice cube prepared on the basis of infusions of anti-inflammatory medicinal herbs (chamomile, calendula, string, plantain).
Toning of oily skin of the face
The main rule of skin cleansing is toning after washing. The purpose of the face tonic is to complete the cleansing of the skin, refresh it and narrow the pores. Many women ignore the use of tonic, since they consider this cosmetic product an optional means of daily skin care and save on its purchase. But if the tonic is not used, then the face will be the products of the daily life of the skin, makeup particles, contaminants, as well as particles of gel for washing, which will prevent the effective penetration of the cream into the skin. After washing in the evening and wiping the skin with a tonic, you will notice that there are traces of powder or foundation and skin contamination on the cotton wool. Therefore, use a tonic in the morning and in the evening after a mandatory cleansing of the face. As a result, you will notice that the skin is more cleansed, and the complexion becomes more fresh.
It is important: avoid alcohol-based toners, as when using them you can get the opposite result, to be more precise, dry seborrhea - increased secretion of sebum in the over-dried upper layer of the epidermis.
Moistening of oily skin
Many people think that the cream for oily skin is simply contraindicated. I want to refute this myth. Modern moisturizers for oily skin of the face not only moisturize it, but also have an important healing effect, which is simply necessary for this type of skin. In addition, a quality cream for oily skin has a light texture, quickly absorbed and does not leave even a hint of fatty shine. Therefore, after cleansing the skin and wiping it with a tonic, you must always apply a special moisturizer to avoid unwanted drying of the skin.
It is important to choose a high-quality cream that causes comfortable sensations on the skin. The three-day use of a new cosmetic product makes it clear whether it suits you or not.
Special care for oily skin
Special care for oily skin includes the following cosmetic procedures: steam baths, deep cleansing peelings, cosmetic masks, therapeutic massage, hardware procedures, and the use of special medications.
Steam baths are used for deep cleansing of the face skin from the products of its vital activity. It is recommended to prepare a steam bath based on a decoction of medicinal herbs, such as chamomile, calendula, St. John's Wort, string, plantain. The duration of the procedure should not exceed 20-25 minutes. During the procedure, you should feel comfortable, in case of any unpleasant sensations, dizziness or headache, you should immediately stop the procedure and consult a doctor about the possibility of using steam baths. For a steam bath is ideal as a saucepan, and a special device, which is usually called "sauna for the face." Steaming the skin (vaporization) stimulates the secretion of sweat and sebaceous glands, expands pores and enhances blood circulation, and also effectively removes impurities. After the steam bath, many cosmetic procedures are intensified many times. Therefore, vaporization is applied before the use of cosmetic masks, peelings, therapeutic emulsions and serums, creating favorable conditions for the penetration of medicinal and nutrients.
Peeling (exfoliation) is designed for deep exfoliation of the upper cornified layer of the epidermis. Thanks to this cosmetic procedure improves the appearance of the skin, the complexion becomes more healthy. The most simple and affordable at home, peeling with facial scrubs. Exfoliation of the skin with a scrub should be done no more than once a week. In addition, it is important to remember that the use of scrubs with pustular skin lesions can aggravate the problem on the contrary and lead to the spread of inflammation throughout the skin. Therefore, the main rule of application of peeling for the face is clean, without inflammation of the skin.
Cosmetic masks are designed to supplement the basic care for oily skin. Depending on the purpose of the mask, they are divided into drying, anti-inflammatory, therapeutic, moisturizing and nutritious. One mask can perform several functions, it can both deeply clean the skin of fat, and dry it, and also have healing properties due to the active ingredients that make up its composition. A mask for oily skin can be prepared both at home and bought in a cosmetic shop.
Therapeutic emulsions and serums contain, as a rule, therapeutic components, the purpose of which is to restore the skin's balance, normalize its microflora, treat inflammations to which oily skin tends. Such procedures are conducted in courses, somewhere in 10 procedures every six months.
Hardware procedures are usually held in beauty parlors. Even in the good old days, the girls came to the beauty parlor and treated their skin with the Darsonval apparatus. Now everything is much simpler. The device has become more tiny and affordable for the general consumer. Having bought such a device, it will become an indispensable component of your home medicine chest. Just do not overdo it! 10-12 procedures every 3-4 months will help your skin look 100%.
What is Darsonval and how does it work? Darsonvalization is the impact on the skin by pulsed alternating currents of high frequency and voltage. Therefore, the device is very effective for the treatment of acne, as well as its consequences - bluish spots on the face and seals. In addition, thanks to this device improves the circulation of blood in the skin, which leads to both improving the complexion, narrowing the pores, and to a more healthy appearance.
Recently, the Zopter bioptron device is gaining wide popularity. The bioptron lamp has a similar effect to sunlight, but higher concentration. With the help of this device, you can achieve excellent results in cosmetic care for oily skin, especially with a tendency to inflammatory processes.
Thus, modern cosmetology gives us ample opportunities to look good not only with normal and dry skin, but also greasy. The main thing is not to be lazy to take care of yourself and apply daily cosmetic procedures for oily skin of the face. According to statistics, oily skin occurs in almost 45% of the European population aged 12 to 30 years. Therefore, this type of skin is not a disease, but a hereditary factor that must be taken for granted and armed with everything necessary to keep the skin healthy, beautiful and well-groomed.
