On the skin there is an excess of sebaceous secretions, this fatty coating is almost impossible to remove by simple washing. And hot water does not solve this problem, only it will aggravate, it will only contribute to the fact that sebum separating will expand the already large pores.
Rules for caring for problem skin
Care for such a skin begins with proper cleansing. For daily washing, you need to apply cleansing agents that are designed for problem skin. On the advice of cosmetologists, you need to buy a face brush, and with it, apply to the skin soap, foam or gel for washing. Movements should be massaging, soft, so that they do not injure the skin. The best temperature for washing should be 36.5 degrees, that is equal to body temperature.
According to the rules of care, you need to wash no more than 2 times a day. Often, there is no need to wash, since the constant removal of fat will lead to the fact that intensified production will begin, this can only worsen the situation.
After you have washed, you need to get wet with a towel, without rubbing it. Wait about 10 minutes, as the skin should dry, and then apply on it cosmetic products from acne.
Extruding acne has nothing to do with caring for problem skin. From such a temptation, how to squeeze pimples, it is better to refuse altogether, and such procedure as skin cleansing is better to entrust to professionals in the cosmetology salon. But this does not mean that you yourself can not conduct yourself deep cleansing of the skin. For problem skin, you need to use special tools that will exfoliate the skin, and such procedures need to be done 1 or 2 times a week. The main thing here is not to overdo it, the more such procedures will be, the more active the sebaceous glands will be.
Face care with problem skin
Properly caring for the skin, you can stop new rashes, reduce the need for cosmetic procedures and medications, shorten the treatment period.
You can tell 7 rules for skin care for acne:

This can damage the skin, which will help penetrate the infection, increase inflammation and can cause scarring. If you can not "get over" with these rashes, you need to consult a specialist.
2. Do not wash your face more than twice a day. Acne occurs not only because of dirty skin, frequent washing will only provoke inflammation. Instead of soap, use gels, foams for oily skin. With light movements of hands, warm water, a face soaked with a towel, and do not rub the skin.
3 . If you have oily hair, you need to wash it with a suitable shampoo. The hair should not cover the whiskey, forehead, or the skin of the face. Avoid hair cosmetics that contains fat and oil.

This can lead to photodamage of the skin, and as a result may threaten melanoma, cancer. Some remedies for rashes will only increase the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet light.
6. Where there are pimples, you need to avoid friction in these places. This applies to jewelry and fabrics. The skin should not touch them.
