Cream for oily skin
Despite the fact that any type of skin care is based on three main stages - cleansing, toning and moisturizing, for different types of dermis, different purposes are needed. For example, for washing gels or foams, for toning - tonics and lotions, and for moisturizing, as a rule, creams are used.
Features of the epidermis
Oily skin - this porous skin, the sebaceous glands of which are very active, highlighting the excess amount of sebum.
Skin type is usually transmitted through genes. It is quite possible to change it to a combined or even normal one through proper nutrition and care. It is not so easy to do this, because oily skin is also very sensitive to everything else. It is very important to properly cleanse such skin - stably twice a day, tone up, so that the pores close, and moisturize. Moisturizing is almost the most important stage, since if the skin becomes dehydrated or overdried, it will secrete twice as much skin sebum (fat).
Your skin is oily if:
- Two or three hours after washing or applying make-up, or even earlier, a greasy luster appears on it;
- The pores are enlarged, deep, and often black spots visit you;
- Due to the active work of the sebaceous glands, acne and inflammation are also frequent guests.
Types of funds
Matting creams regulate the sebaceous glands, thereby having the opportunity to delay the appearance of oily sheen for three to four hours. Also further subdivided into tone matting and matting bases / primers. With the first everything is clear - it masks the imperfections, evens out the skin tone by imposing pigment on it.
Matting primers are distinguished by the fact that they prepare the skin for make-up - they smooth out the relief, narrow and close the pores, prolong the persistence of the makeup. Can be used both alone and in tandem with powder or tonal basis.
Moisturizers. Oily skin needs active hydration, as if it lacks moisture, it will dry out and release several times more sebum. Features moisturizer lies in the fact that he should not clog pores and be composed of alcohol, as it dries the skin.
Apply a light moisturizer during the day, and at night choose a nourishing.
Nourishing creams are a more "strong" type of moisturizing. They are very similar in their properties - however, in addition to moisture they saturate the skin with various minerals and vitamins, eliminate flaking, itching and other unpleasant manifestations of problem skin.
For application under make-up, as a rule, too dense or heavy - they are recommended to be used at night, especially during the autumn-winter period.
Anti-inflammatory / antiseptic. Since this type of skin is often visited by acne, you should always have on hand a remedy that fights with them. As a rule, these are peculiar creams for point application. They are actively fighting bacteria that cause acne, and in a couple of days they can save you from uninvited guests.
SPF protective creams. In winter, it is very important not to expose the skin to frostbite, but in summer to protect from burns and the appearance of age spots.
Additionally, creams are divided into two categories: night and day.
- Night cream, as a rule, anti-aging, rejuvenating, is designed to deal with imperfections such as peeling, acne, wrinkles. It should nourish the skin and adjust to its sleep, work at night and restore the water-lipid balance.
- Many other things can be attributed to day creams - matting, protective, moisturizing. All of them protect the skin from the negative effects of the environment and make it more attractive, ready for makeup - and it is unlikely that you will need a matting cream in your sleep.
Ingredients in the composition
If the agent is anti-inflammatory and is intended for point use, it should contain substances such as essential oils (tea tree, rosemary, neroli, peppermint, eucalyptus, conifers and citrus), acids (ANA - fruit acids, for example, lactic, glycolic, grape, and BHA - salicylic), alcohol (against inflammation it fights just fine) antiseptics (green tea, herbal extracts).
Benzoyl peroxide and vitamin C also do an excellent job with various rashes.
In matting creams as the same matting component, talc, starch, zinc or sulfur can act, plant extracts, as well as caffeine and green tea can also hide pores and soothe inflammations.
Nutritious cream has a slightly more loaded, but balanced composition - it can include vitamins and minerals, completely different oils (the main thing is not mineral, which is derived from oil), medicinal plants and retinol.
Moisturizers should not be cluttered - it will be great if they include several plant extracts or thermal water, again, green tea, glycerin and a small amount of non-metodogenic oils.
How to choose for summer and winter
In the summer, this type of skin can bring a fair amount of problems to its owners. First, the shine due to the constant sunlight is noticeable much stronger, the skin is literally glowing unhealthy. Secondly, many even matting foundation creams or mousses tend to roll or drain from the face under the influence of heat - which not only looks completely unaesthetic, but also provokes the appearance of new inflammations and black spots, as the pores become clogged, causing the skin to start sweating, produce more fat. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right tool for the summer.
It should be a light natural matte cream with texture.
It should be easily absorbed and not leave the slightest trace on the face, visually align the skin tone and smooth the pores. It will be just fine if he has protection from the sun - SPF. You can use it solo, if you do not suffer from rashes, or under a matting tone or, preferably, powder.
As for the masking cream - it is best if it is also matting BB or SS. It is lighter, its coating is not so dense, so large clusters of red enemies will not hide - but it will not disappear from the face, will not drain, it is completely invisible.
For the winter, slightly thicker textures, such as mousse creams, are suitable for owners of fat-type skin. However, also marked "matting."
They need to be carefully shaded, but first - apply the base or primer. In the cold and with a not very bright shine, you can use weightless moisturizers. If your face shines at any time of the year and in any weather, then the matting cream should be your constant companion. However, this does not mean that you should refuse from nourishing and moisturizing creams - after a hard working day, be sure to use them at night.
Rules of application
The durability and coating of many tonal creams depend on their proper application. If everything is simple with bases or ordinary creams - they need to be spread with finger-nail movements on the face, then with tonal ones it is slightly more difficult. There are three ways to apply foundation:
- Fingers The situation is the same as with a regular cream - a couple of drops of cream are applied to the back side of the left palm, a quantity of fingers is taken with the fingers and applied with a beating motion onto the skin of the face. Remember that in this case, as in others, you should first pay attention to the T-zone - forehead, nose and nose bridge, and after that to the U-zone - chin and cheeks.
- Sponge or beauty blender. Both tools in this case should be slightly wet - one drop of plain water will be enough. It should just drip the cream on the cheek, without blending. This will sponge, instead of which you can use a beauty blender - an egg-shaped sponge. You should spread the cream over the surface of the face with the driving movements. This method is good because it allows you to apply the remedy as naturally as possible - the border between the skin with and without tone will be virtually imperceptible, just like the cream itself on your skin. According to cosmetologists, this option is suitable for owners of oily dermis much better than others.
- Brush. The required amount of tonal foundation is taken with a medium-sized flat brush and applied with spreading movements. The most difficult way is because the coating depends not only on the skill of the make-up artist, but also on the quality of the brush, how tightly it is full (and the denser than the better). Poor brush can unevenly distribute the tone of the skin - stripes, as well as leave a couple of hairs on the skin. It is also the most uneconomical way, but if you adapt and find a brush more tightly, the coating will turn out even and dense, hiding virtually any imperfection.

Reviews
Nevskaya cosmetics "Cucumber" stands out in its price range. According to the girls, he really mattes - literally up to 8 hours in normal weather, up to 4 - at 30 or more degrees of heat. Light in texture, almost weightless, this cream is an excellent base for makeup. It does not provoke the appearance of acne, however, does not cure them - with this, to antiseptic creams. Moisturizes.
The composition is not very good, however, it is quite advantageous - of the bad components it contains only silicones and a slightly higher content of glycerin.
Cream for the face and body "Aisida" - one of the few not only matting, but also regulating the work of the sebaceous glands of creams. At the same time, it does not dry non-greasy skin, as it also has moisturizing properties.
It is also used before bedtime as a cream for the area around the eyes, as it is hypoallergenic and has a very mild effect.
