Masks for oily skin
Fat face skin type implies a special extra care, which is not complete without the use of store or home masks. Oily and problematic derma has an increased secretion of sebum - sebum, which leads to clogged pores, the formation of acne and inflammation, acne, uneven complexion and the formation of a greasy film on its surface. The only advantage of this type of skin is its slow aging and the fact that by a more mature age the skin often becomes normal - the oily shine disappears and the once enlarged pores are reduced.
Masks for the care of oily epidermis are based on cleansing - the most important stage in the care of this type, simultaneous regulation of the sebaceous glands and antiseptic effect.
Features
Oily skin has a number of problems not only of aesthetic nature in the form of enlarged pores or black dots, seemingly innocuous "features" are a breeding ground for microbes and infections, which will have to be dealt with more radically without additional weekly care. Masks for oily skin differ from each other and have features:
- They are cleansing, moisturizing, lifting, narrowing pores;
- Their main property is to cleanse the skin and normalize the work of the sebaceous glands, secondary - to moisturize the dermis;
- Only regular use of masks will get rid of oily skin with an unpleasant shine;
- It is recommended to use masks for oily skin 2-3 times a week, while you can use a similar scheme: 2 cleansing + 1 moisturizing, 1 cleansing + 1 moisturizing + 1 anti-aging;
- Often, kaolin acts as the base of the masks to reduce luster and narrow pores;
- It is not recommended to use alcohol as part of a home or store mask - this component stimulates the production of skin secretion. If the mask contains alcohol, it is recommended to use it no more than 1 time in 7-10 days or apply locally to the area of inflammation;
- For oily and combination skin, you can use a mask for applying to the entire face, as well as to the problem areas - the T-zone;
- A mask for oily skin is recommended to keep on the skin no more than 30 minutes, since each composition differs in its characteristics and the degree of "work".
Types
To narrow pores
Compounds and components that narrow pores are often based on natural ingredients like fruit acids, decoction of herbs and clay, which act as the main element of the mask. Enlarged pores not only look not attractive, but also are a repository of bacteria and microbes, street dust and excess sebum from the skin. The procedure of narrowing the pores due to the cosmetic mask does not allow germs and dirt to accumulate inside the skin and makes the surface of the face more uniform.
A white clay narrowing mask is the most popular and affordable. The composition allows you to simultaneously clean and narrow pores, besides white clay is simply used as a standalone product or in combination with tomato juice or aloe extract.
Cleansing
The main stage in the care of oily skin is its cleansing through not only the usual "umyvalok", but also the classic mask based on clay, or kaolin. The clay mask allows you to clear the pores, normalize the sebum secretion, eliminate the formed inflammations and prevent the appearance of new ones due to the drying effect.
For enlarged pores, the clay mask is especially relevant - it not only gently removes impurities, but also tightens them to prevent further contamination.
The mask for problem skin with kaolin absorbs excess sebum and enhances metabolic processes in the cells in order to reduce further sebum production.
Moisturizing
Oily skin requires moisture at any time of the year, and especially in the summer. Women often make the mistake of not giving proper care to their skin in the summer, when it especially needs a cream or an additional mask. High-quality hydration due to a mask for dehydrated skin or one that is especially active, helps reduce the formation of sebum - a secret that secretes the skin to protect against the evaporation of valuable moisture.
Moisturizing mask opposes fat content during sports - instead of a secret, the skin will be able to release water or sweat.
In addition, oily skin can be dehydrated - the case when the epidermis is characterized by increased fat and dryness at the same time, when there are light or noticeable peeling in some areas.
Anti-aging
Oily skin is not without alginate masks, or algae-based products. They have antioxidant properties and remove puffiness due to the removal of excess moisture, narrow pores and normalize complexion; in addition, the use of such products has a cumulative effect.
