Hello Girls,

Indeed, oily skin is very difficult to take care of it. It’s hard to decide whether to moisturise it, exfoliate or clean it deeply? Or maybe we should carry out these three procedures at once? Ok, slow down! Let me tell you how to take care of oily skin properly to look pretty all day long.

What are the characteristic features of oily skin?

In general, oily skin is mostly owned by the young who enter their adolescence, when their hormones haven’t levelled out yet. Sebaceous glands produce sebum in galore, and, as a consequence, T-zone is clear to notice due to the uncontrolled shine. Of course, acne follows as skin pores become clogged with sebum, sweat and dead epidermis cells; in other words, blackheads form. Clogged skin pores are hard to camouflage with the finest concealer of powder. Therefore, before you do make-up, take care of your skin.

How to treat oily skin?

Unfortunately, most of us don’t know how to do it the right way. If you keep popping up the acne or if you use strongly cleansing cosmetics, then I have to tell you that you cause harm to your skin, and the harm is serious. It might sounds weird, but you can start treating your skin with cosmetics designed for sensitive skin. Also, you can give a go to products containing antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and soothing substances. However, the most important and the most beneficial might be the cosmetics that deliver moisturising action. Thanks to them, you’ll regulate the work of sebaceous glands and take the control over shining areas of your skin. Moreover, owning to moisturising creams, you’ll reinforce your protective lipid barrier of skin.

How to take care of skin affected by adolescent acne and acne rosacea?

The most important here is the close ‘co-operation’ with a dermatologist and taking the medications s/he prescribed. Furthermore, you must settle how to apply the cosmetics since the products bought in a drugstore mustn’t have the slightest impact on the preparations prescribed by the dermatologist. Another issue to mention, unfortunately, in most cases, when you manage to cure the adolescent acne, your face remains blemished with the red discolorations and minor scars. If you want to remove them, I’d recommend undergoing laser treatments. When it comes to acne rosacea, it leaves skin with broken capillaries and reddened skin. In this case, you should reach for cosmetics that reinforce walls of blood vessels. In general, such products contain vitamin K, rutin (rutoside) and buckeye extract.
