But the most important thing is to stick to normal skin care. If you adhere to the rules of hygiene and use high-quality cosmetics, the rash will decrease, the skin will become less irritable, the treatment period will become shorter and the complexion will noticeably improve.
How to care for problem skin
- Cosmetics for oily skin are perfect. On quality products, you will find the words "non-comedogenic" or "not comedogenic" in translation. This means that this product does not clog pores and does not provoke the formation of comedogens. You can also find the inscription "for acne-prone skin", which means "for skin prone to acne."
- Oddly enough, but hair also directly affects the skin of the face. So, if your hair quickly turns oily, you need to collect it in a ponytail and wash it with good shampoo. Also, avoid using hair products that contain different oils.
- You can not often go to the solarium and sunbathe for a long time. The skin reacts aggressively to ultraviolet rays and as a result, even the treatments that you are already carrying out will be in vain.
- Use a scrub only if there is no inflammatory process on the skin. The scrub will help exfoliate dead cells and unclog pores. You can use it twice a week. Also, go for small particle scrubs, as large particles can scratch the skin and lead to inflammation.
- Stop popping pimples and blackheads. In most cases, the consequences are extremely negative - squeezed acne causes scarring and scarring. But sometimes it is necessary to do this, then it is better to entrust it to professionals in a beauty salon.
- To prevent pores from clogging with dirt, you need to wash your face at least twice a day with cold water, but not with soap, it dries out the skin. Of course, a foam for problem skin will be an excellent cleanser. After washing your face, use a cream or other acne treatment. Now there is a wide selection of special face cleansers in problematic lines of professional cosmetics, for example: Christina, ReNew, ONmacabim, GIGI and others.
- The cosmetics you prefer on a daily basis should be chosen with the greatest care. A few simple tips. Choose a loose powder and forget about concealers and pencils, in general, about all corrective and compact products. If you've used blush, it's time to throw it in the trash can, as it contains fats and oils. Instead, have a variety of dry eyeshadows in your arsenal that you can apply as a blush. Also pay attention to the cosmetics that are sold in pharmacies. They contain natural ingredients and herbs that help heal problem skin.
- If there is inflammation on the skin, try to minimize touching such places.
- Masks that are suitable for problem skin and contain white clay (helps to cleanse pores and absorb sebum) and natural ingredients (celandine, calendula, chamomile, mint, tea tree oil, sage, lavender and others).
Choosing cosmetics for problem skin
The choice of cosmetics on the modern market is huge. In order not to get confused, give preference to products that are dominated by salicylic acid, zinc and natural antibacterial components. But even in this case, you cannot be sure that this cosmetics is suitable for problem skin, and not for oily skin. Pharmaceutical cosmetics, which are very widespread today (do not contain allergens, silicones and fragrances). In order not to be mistaken, use medicinal products containing the following components:
- Zinc salicylate, piroctone olamine, copper gluconate and polyhydroxy acids (remove the cause of inflammation - bacteria).
- Products containing retinaldehyde, hydroxy acids (salicylic, lactic, citric, glycolic) and retinol esters will help to soften the plugs that contain the accumulation of sebaceous glands, reduce the production and amount of sebum.
For a complete care of problem skin, you need to have
- Foam or gel is a means by which daily washing takes place (in common people they are called "washing").
- Make-up remover (or special tonic).
- Facial toner or lotion for problem skin.
- Cream for the care of problem skin (there is a distinction between day and night type of cream).
- Eye cream (if you are over 30).
- A chatterbox for drying newly appeared acne (there are pharmacy options, but there is a series of "professional cosmetics" for local application on acne).
- A peeling lotion and mask will still do the trick.
Attention, all cosmetics should be from the line for oily and problem skin.
The best cosmetic products for problem skin care
In the first place, as the best cosmetics, and not only for problem skin (Derma Clear line), I would like to put the Israeli brand "GIGI Cosmetic Labs" according to my experience. On the market since 1957, it is an international company with its own secrets of the ingredients of its products. It is very expensive, but it will be worth it. GIGI cosmetics must be prescribed personally by a cosmetologist! Independent use of "GG" is prohibited, since professional-grade cosmetics have a very rich and rich composition, if used improperly, you can harm yourself very much.
- The second place can be safely put also professional Israeli cosmetics Christina (Comodex line), ReNew (lines for problem skin are called Dermo Control, Propioguard), ONmacabim (DM line series) and Holy Land (A-NOX line). This cosmetics for oily and problem skin prone to acne should be prescribed only by a beautician, but not independently.
- The Normaderm line of media from Vichy. This cosmetics has proven itself very well. The presented funds help to fight many problems, namely, remove oily sheen, even out complexion, remove redness, fight inflammation, expand pores and reduce acne. The price of funds is satisfactory, much cheaper than the above brands.
- Cleanance line of products from Avene. This line of this cosmetics is aimed at sensitive problem skin. Contains a cleansing mask, mattifying lotion, tonal emulsion and a cleansing gel. The mask is especially attractive, it evens out the color and cleanses the pores.
- Clinique's Pore Refining Solutions line. This series fights against enlarged pores. This includes foundation, serum, day face cream and make-up concealer. Serum works especially well, which reduces the appearance of pimples and inflammation, normalizes sebum secretion, shrinks enlarged pores, and creates a mattifying effect.
- Garnier Pure Leather line. An excellent line of cosmetics for problem skin care. Facial scrubs and cleansing gels can help fight blackheads, cleanse the skin and create a matte effect.
