Oily skin care at home

Caring for oily skin is not easy, though ... I think it's easy. And if you also know how to do it right, then looking after your “skin” will seem like a pleasant experience.

Determining oily skin type at home is not difficult. I propose to undergo a small test to determine the type of skin: it is necessary to rinse the face skin abundantly in ordinary running water, then soap the face with ordinary soap, without using foams or gels for washing, soap, I repeat it should be ordinary, for example, baby. We wash off the suds and thoroughly wipe the face with a bath towel. After washing, do not use any skin care products. Leave her to breathe. We wait the expected 2-3 hours and proceed to testing. We take a paper towel and apply it to any area of ​​the skin. Instead of a napkin, you can take papyrus paper, ordinary glass or a small mirror. The main thing is that it is convenient for you to attach all this to your face. Now we look, if there are oily spots on the tes-object, then you should know that your skin is oily. If there are no spots left, then the skin is most likely dry or normal.

Oily skin has increased greasiness. Due to insufficient blood supply in the skin cells, it has clogged pores and excessive greasy shine. Such skin very often looks contaminated and inflamed. Very often exposed to rashes and the appearance of black dots. But do not be upset and even more so afraid of it. Oily skin type has a very significant plus - it ages much later than other skin types. And if you take care of it properly, then you can also be happy with your oily skin type.

I, like most women, have mixed (combined type) skin. My T-zone of the face, or rather the areas of the forehead, nose and chin, have the properties of treacherously giving off a bold sheen.

Cleansing

Proper and complete care for oily skin begins with proper and thorough cleansing. Oily skin requires more frequent cleansing than other skin types. Many women, when cleansing such skin, make a rather gross mistake, using strong cleansers, for example, based on pure alcohol, to cleanse. But this is wrong, I will explain why. Oily skin does not need to be degreased with alcohol, since the use of potent cleansers leads to the fact that the skin after such funds begins to intensively restore the lack of fat and produce even more sebum. Therefore, it is often necessary to resort to cleaning the skin, removing greasy shine.

Therefore, instead of alcoholic lotions, it is better to wash 2 times a day and use soft cleansing gels or foams for washing.

It is also not recommended to wash oily skin with very hot water, since the high temperature of the water also contributes to the intense secretion of fat. It is better to use water at room temperature or a little cooler. In addition, cool water helps to narrow the pores and perfectly invigorates and tones.

As means for washing oily skin, it is necessary to use special products that increase immunity to various infections and normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands. Ordinary toilet soap only dries the skin and leaves a plaque. Means for oily skin should dissolve well in water. If you use special gels or foams for oily skin, then they should not contain alkali and have a pH of not higher than 4.5, as well as antibacterial components and essential oils of tea tree, lemon or basil.

I tried quite a lot of different similar products, I can’t say that they all suited me perfectly, but here too it all depends on the condition of the skin. After all, skin, like hair, is the same in color and touch, and an individual approach to everything is needed. So everything in our life must be tried and tested personally. There are really a couple of tools that I use from time to time. But usually in the mornings I wash my face with natural remedies, and I do them myself. In fact, there are many recipes for natural remedies; I use the most affordable ones, which are easy and quick to prepare.

For example, to treat my fat T-zone, washing with sour milk helps me a lot, sometimes I use kefir or yogurt instead. I moisten a cotton pad or swab liberally with any selected product and wipe my face skin in the direction of the massage lines, paying special attention to places in the forehead, nose and chin. Then I wash everything off with warm water. Such washing, in addition to excellent cleansing, also gives an additional effect - it whitens the skin, so for those who have pigmented spots or freckles on their faces, this method of cleansing is just the point. Frequent washing with sour milk will make the skin prone to age spots noticeably lighter and cleaner.

The next remedy, which is constantly in my arsenal and always stands on my shelf in the bathroom, is ground coffee and salt. With the help of these ordinary and affordable products, I wash my face. Recently, I ask you not to be surprised at this procedure, my husband is also addicted. After repeating the washing procedure once with me with these very means, I was satisfied, said that the black spots on his face began to fade noticeably. So, we mix half a teaspoon of salt and the same amount of coffee between ourselves and apply this mixture to the face moistened with water. Massage gently for 1 minute and rinse with warm water. Everything is brilliantly simple, and the result, as they say, is on the face. Salt and coffee in their combination really have a drying effect and perfectly clean clogged pores.

Peeling

Peeling for oily skin is necessary at least 2-3 times a week. With the help of this cosmetic procedure, the skin of the face is cleaned of accumulated dirt in the pores, wen, excess sebum. Peeling is also a prevention against skin diseases, the appearance and inflammation of acne. Peeling is best after washing and in the evening, or rather at night, so you give the skin time to calm down, because any peeling for any skin is a little stress for her.

Clay Scrub Mask

Clay, as you know, promotes intensive absorption of sebum along with dirt and dead cells, in addition, it significantly cleanses and tightens the pores of the face, and also tightens the skin. Dark brown or black clay is ideal for oily skin. Sometimes I just mix two varieties of these clays. I take 1 tbsp. different clay and mix it with boiled water. You need to add so much water to get a creamy consistency. Then, evenly and thickly, I apply the resulting slurry to the face. I hold until the clay is completely dry. Then I wash it off with warm water, but at the same time I intensively do massage movements on my face.

Sugar scrub

Such a scrub is made from brown sugar. 2 tbsp mix sugar with 3 tbsp. chilled milk. We apply the mass on the face and gently massage the skin for 2-3 minutes. Then rinse with water.

There is another scrub recipe using granulated sugar. Sugar can be taken as usual. To begin with, we lather the skin of the face with ordinary baby soap, it is good if herbs are included in its composition. As soon as a plentiful soapy foam appears on the face, we take sugar in the palm and apply it on the face. Wipe the face with sugar and foam. Then wash thoroughly and blot your face with a soft towel.

Lemon and Salt Scrub

We mix the same parts of sea salt and freshly squeezed lemon juice with each other and rub our face with the scrub for 1-2 minutes with massage movements, paying particular attention to the most problematic areas of the skin. With heavily inflamed skin, this scrub is not recommended.

Expanded Pore Oily Skin Scrub

For oily skin with enlarged pores, cosmetologists advise using green clay. To prepare it, take 2 tbsp. green clay and 3 tbsp. l nonfat yogurt without additives. Yogurt can be replaced with yogurt or unsweetened acidophilus product. Mix all the ingredients and apply on the face. Wipe the face with gentle massage movements for 2 minutes and rinse with warm water.

Scrub for oily skin prone to rashes

Black bread must be dried and ground in a coffee grinder. Mix bread crumbs with warm milk until sparse gruel forms. Wipe your face with a prepared scrub and rinse with warm water.

Masks for oily skin

Owners of oily skin know how difficult it is to maintain their skin in good condition every day. In addition to special washing and peeling, oily skin must also be flavored and nourished with masks. After all, as a rule, a mask for oily skin is much easier to use than scrubs. In general, I love to make different masks, and I constantly joke about this - I applied and forgot. This is because, indeed, I put the necessary mask on my face and you go around your house - you cook for food, you clean up, in general, do your own thing. In addition to the masks below, I recommend that you also watch face masks at home

Any skin needs additional nutrition and oily is no exception.

Oily skin perfectly perceives a mask based on lemon juice and cream. Need to take 2 tbsp. low-fat cream and squeeze into this mass the same amount of approximately lemon juice. We put the mask on the face and walk with it for about 15 minutes. Then we thoroughly rinse it off with warm water. This mask nourishes the skin cells with vitamin C and makes the face noticeably fresh.

In summer, for oily skin with enlarged pores, you can make a mask of raspberries. We crush fresh berries in a bowl and add a little rice flour to them. Count the number of ingredients yourself, the main thing is that you get a uniform dense mass that can be easily applied to the face. It is better, of course, to take everything in the same proportions. Put the finished mask on your face and wait 15 minutes. Wash off as usual with warm water.

Among women who struggle with oily face, a hercules-based mask has proven itself. You can cook it as follows: 3 tbsp. ground oatmeal mixed with whipped egg white. Mix the mixture and apply on face. Leave on face for 20 minutes and rinse with water.

By the way, oily skin also needs additional hydration. Before saturating the skin with moisture, it must be thoroughly cleaned with a scrub (all recipes are given above), and then proceed to hydration. I moisturize my skin with an oatmeal mask with honey. To do this, take 2 tbsp. oatmeal, 1 tbsp honey and as much vegetable or olive oil. I mix and put the mass on a cleaned face. After 20 minutes, wash off with warm water and pat my face with a soft towel. I like this mask because it perfectly tightens the pores, visibly evens out the face, moisturizes the skin and makes it matte. After it, I do not need to apply any additional product on the face. I can immediately apply decorative cosmetics - foundation or foundation.

By the way, if you have never tried to use cosmetic ice for your face, then you have missed a lot. And for the oily type of facial skin, it is just for help.

Oily skin care at home

It is very simple to freeze ice cubes for cosmetic purposes. For each type of face, different components are used. For oily skin, for example, wine ice is the most effective recipe for cosmetic ice. I use it if not daily, then 2-3 times a week for sure. So in my freezer he is waiting for me all the time. And he prepares as follows: I take dry herb St. John's wort and sage for 2 tbsp. and pour 1/3 cup boiling water. I insist for an hour, filter, cool and mix with 1/3 cup of white semi-dry wine. I pour it into ice molds and send it to the freezer. In general, everything is simple and clear. You can use the prepared ice daily by rubbing your face with frozen cubes for 3-4 minutes. You need to drive cubes all over your face, while doing massage movements. I generally experience complete relaxation. Then rinse your face with cool water. The effect of such ice is that the pores are narrowed and the complexion becomes better.

Nutrition

If you already have a greasy type of face and want your skin to always look really good and fresh, then in addition to the above methods, which are basic, you need to eat properly. To eat what you like first of all not only you, but also your skin. Be sure to read the article on our website "Solar Hands" on healthy eating

Pay attention to your diet: eat not only regularly, but also correctly. Refuse, or at least reduce your ardor to spicy foods such as mustard, pepper, vinegar, they stimulate the sebaceous glands and irritate them. Eat more dairy and lactic acid products, vegetables and fruits, replace white bread with black.

About cosmetics for oily skin

To choose decorative cosmetics for oily skin you need to be extremely thorough and careful.

Oily skin care at home

Foundation is better to choose matte with a dense texture, in comparison with light creams it is more stable. An excellent choice is a foundation, which will include kaolin clay - it effectively controls oily skin. A cream containing zinc oxide will have an anti-inflammatory effect. When applying the foundation, be sure to use a sponge, but you do not need to drive the cream with your fingers, as you can provoke the release of sebum.

Which powder to choose? Your best choice will be a matte compact powder for oily skin, also with a dense texture.

If you use blush, then you should abandon cream or liquid blush. The same goes for eye shadow.

Avoid liquid eyeliners for eyes and lips, otherwise your “beauty” will simply float a couple of hours after application.

In conclusion, I want to appeal to women who have oily skin, so that your skin is a virtue, not a disadvantage, take care of it correctly and regularly, do not be lazy, and then you will always be at your best.
