Moisturizer for different skin types

One of the main points of skin care is to moisturize it, regardless of the type. After all, oily skin needs additional nutrition to avoid flaking and premature aging.

The normal type is inherent in young people. This epidermis has a fairly flat relief, moderately moist, has no visible flaws. Vessels and pores are barely noticeable. The skin does not require special care.

Dry skin is accompanied by peeling, irritation and pronounced blood vessels.. Haze and dullness of the epidermis are manifested due to insufficient moisture. Such skin is usually not prone to the appearance of acne and comedones, as the pores are always narrowed. The feeling of tightness can be observed throughout the day, and mimic wrinkles are more noticeable than other types.

Oily skin is characterized by oily sheen and the appearance of black spots and blackheads. After all, the epidermis does not cope naturally with increased secretion of sebum. Because there is a blockage then. This type is not prone to early wilt and obvetrivaniyu.

Perhaps the most common type is the combo.. The epidermis creates the appearance of healthy skin, but during the day there is a fat content in the T-zones (forehead, nose, chin). It is these parts of the face that are prone to comedones. But here the cheeks and the skin around the eyes can flake off, especially in the cold season. This type is moderately moist and has no pronounced vessels and pores.

Fading epidermis is characterized by a partial loss of elasticity. Inadequate hydration contributes to the appearance of wrinkles and the so-called “floated” facial contours. Vessels begin to shine through the skin and pigment spots from sunlight appear.

Special attention requires sensitive type. Hypersensitivity and allergies can suffer any type of epidermis. Defects occur as a result of improper care or exposure to the environment. This skin is the most problematic, as it is more prone to the appearance of comedones and other skin diseases.

So let's start with the forehead. After touching it with a napkin or glass, a trace may remain. A moderate print is normal skin, an overly greasy skin is a fat type. If there are no prints left, then the skin is dry. The combined type will distinguish from fatty the absence of marks on the glass as a result of an experiment on the cheeks.

In addition, the skin itself lets know about its shortcomings:

• Dry type will peel off, there is a feeling of tightness, has a dull color.
• Fat type attracts the attention of enlarged pores and bold luster of the epidermis.
• Combined type looks uneven, acne and oily luster appear in the T-zones, and the cheeks are prone to flaking and redness.
• Sensitive type shows flaws depending on the situation.

The natural glow disappears. Oily skin is hardest of all, as it begins to release more sebum. Contrary to beliefs, it should not be dried, so as not to aggravate the situation.

• So, glycerin in the composition contributes to maintaining the moisture content of the epidermis throughout the day. It retains moisture in the layers of the epidermis. This creates a protective barrier against drying out.
• The presence of hyaluronic acid also has a beneficial effect on maintaining water balance. This component compensates for the loss of moisture in the cells and helps to smooth wrinkles. Additionally, hyaluronic acid evens out skin texture and improves skin turgor. It should be used mainly for the fading type.
• The content of collagen and elastin is simply indispensable for aging skin. They improve the relief of the epidermis and compensate for the lack of natural components of the skin. However, young girls to get involved in such means is not recommended due to habituation of the skin and the violation of its natural processes.
• Panthenol has a revitalizing, moisturizing, soothing and healing action.
• Vegetable extracts and components contribute to the normal functioning of biological processes in the layers of the epidermis. It softens and gets the necessary moisture. The protective functions of the skin are enhanced, which affects its relief and healthy radiance.
• Problem types require additional components. meeting the requirements and features of the skin.

Bold type requires special care. The cream should be light, non-comedogenic, regulating the production of sebum, but nourishing at the same time. Because manufacturers often use extracts of medicinal plants:

• Aloe. Normalizes water balance, promotes increased regeneration of the deep layers of the epidermis, eliminates irritation and inflammation, is an antioxidant, slows the aging process, improves elasticity, and also intensively nourishes the skin.
• Chamomile. Eliminates inflammation and has soothing properties, enhances the regenerating ability of the skin layers, normalizes natural processes, levels the relief and natural color of the epidermis, has a beneficial effect on the sebaceous glands, slows down aging and removes edema.
• The succession. It is a strong antiseptic, promotes healing of microcracks and acne, normalizes the sebaceous glands and slows down the aging process of the skin. In addition, the series has powerful cleansing qualities.
• Calendula. It has healing and antiseptic properties, tightens pores and softens the epidermis. It has a good anti-aging effect.

Perhaps the most difficult to ensure the proper care of mixed skin. After all, a moisturizer must meet the requirements of all types. The product must have nutritional qualities, remove excess sebum, not clog pores, and also have hypoallergenic properties.

For the normal type of enough fortified composition and antioxidants. Salicylic acid and aloe vera / chamomile may be the only supplement for sensitive skin and allergy.

But you should not bypass the universal creams that are suitable for all skin types. After all, the composition may be suitable for both dry and for the combined type of the epidermis. However, before buying, you should use a tester in the store to check the skin's reaction to the cream.

In summer, the skin still needs to be moisturized, only to a lesser extent than in winter. If the normal type is light enough moisturizing fluid, the dry type must be more intensively nourished.

The fat type needs moderate nutrition with a matting effect, since the scorching rays contribute to the revitalization of the sebaceous glands. In addition, the moisturizer should not clog the pores, and is also obliged to provide protection from UV light and bacteria in the skin cells.

The combined type needs both nutrition and matting at the same time. Dry areas should receive maximum moisture and nutrition, so as not to provoke peeling and sunburn. T-zones require protection from excess sebum and bacteria from entering the enlarged pores. UV protection will also not be superfluous.

In winter, things are much easier. For different types of epidermis, strong moisturizing is needed to protect the delicate cover from weathering. The only thing that apply the cream is no less than an hour before going out.

Purchased ready-made products are convenient and easy to use, only now often the manufacturer is silent about the content of preservatives and other not very useful substances. And if the skin is very sensitive or prone to allergies, it is best to make a moisturizer with your own hands. Moreover, the ingredients will be 100% natural, and the recipe can be chosen the way you want.

• A tablespoon of chamomile flowers in 100 ml of boiling water should be kept in a water bath for about 15 minutes.

Also in a water bath, melt a tablespoon of olive and butter, cool. Then add the beaten egg yolk and a tablespoon of camphor oil.
