No alcohol
It is believed that products that contain alcohol help to cope with oily sheen. It was not so! You may actually be able to get rid of the oily film for a while. But after a couple of minutes, the sebaceous glands will rebel and begin to work several times more intensely, trying to save your skin from dehydration.
And what should you buy now? Experts recommend rescuing with sebum-regulating ingredients: they provide treatment for oily facial skin, improve its structure and prevent the penetration of bacteria. These products include B vitamins, vegetable and salicylic acids. Likewise, natural soap can handle the removal of the outer grease. It is important to remember that it should not contain alkali - this component can play a cruel joke and lead to dehydration of the skin.
Control yourself
In order not to provoke the emergence of new troubles, stop touching your face with your hands. By this, as you know, you will only aggravate the condition of the skin, and instead of one inflammation, you will have a dozen new ones. If you can't leave your face alone, have an antiseptic and cleansing wipes on hand. Wash your hands thoroughly before applying cream or makeup. And do not rub your face with a towel "until it squeaks" while washing your face. This not only irritates the skin, but also leads to the early appearance of wrinkles.
Change your tone
Owners of oily skin, like no one else, are familiar with the expression "makeup floated." Almost any foundation lasts only for a few hours, and then goes free floating. The only way out of the situation is to choose a tone that is ideal for oily skin. Look for foundations with a light and weightless texture in stores. To make the face look matte and natural longer, cornstarch and colored clay must be present in the composition. Do not forget about other cosmetics: matting wipes will help to instantly remove the oily layer from the skin of the face, and mineral powder will give the coveted radiant (not shiny) effect.
Bon Appetit
We advise you not to overuse foods that cause oily skin. Here is a stop list for you: remove non-lean meat, butter and all unhealthy fats and replace them with avocados, nuts, and fish. For healthy skin, spinach and carrots will help, as well as foods containing omega-3 fatty acids: salmon, tuna. Do not forget about blueberries, strawberries, plums, these berries are rich in antioxidants. Well, in general, all this is really very tasty (unlike celery, for example). But diets, even the simplest ones, are harmful to the face: lack of nutrients slows down the renewal of the skin.
Just add water
Not only dry but also oily skin can experience a lack of moisture. Premature wrinkles and visible pores are often caused by too little water in the body. Dehydration leads to the active work of the sebaceous glands. We recommend drinking water with lemon - water itself moisturizes the skin, and lemon contains a large amount of vitamins.
Sleep in hand
Everyone knows that it takes about eight hours for a person to sleep properly. But not many are aware that during sleep, the process of skin renewal takes place. Stress can cause acne and oily sheen. If you don't regularly provide your body with proper rest, then stress will only accumulate. During periods of high stress, the body produces more cortisol and androgens, which stimulates the sebaceous glands. Due to lack of sleep, other skin imperfections often appear, such as bags under the eyes and early wrinkles. So girls, we cancel all parties today and go to bed early!
I want to see a doctor
If you have been fighting oily skin and inflammation on your own for a long time, and the result is zero, try contacting a beautician. He will help you find the perfect care and cure problems not only from the outside, but also from the inside. Therefore, the first step is to sign up for a medical examination, and already armed with the results, proceed with a thorough skin care.
