Problematic skin is not called that just for dramatic effect. It really does cause its owner a lot of trouble: it becomes oily quickly, looks dense, yet remains quite sensitive, requiring gentle care and regular exfoliation.
If care is insufficient or incorrect, comedones, blackheads, acne, and inflamed red spots may appear. In this article, we will explain how to properly care for oily and problematic skin, get rid of excess shine, clogged pores, and pimples, and also recommend the best products from our cosmetics store.
Basic Care Principles
Oily skin has both advantages and disadvantages. Sebum protects the skin from external factors, but excess oil can clog pores and cause inflammation.
The goals of caring for oily and problematic skin are:
- regular cleansing and protection
- inhibiting the growth of microorganisms
- reducing and controlling sebum production
- oil-free hydration
- removal of dead skin cells (keratolytic effect)
Skin Cleansing
Cleansing includes washing the face and using suitable cosmetic products. Microflora actively multiplies on problematic skin, so it is important to maintain a neutral or slightly acidic pH.
Basic cleansing rules:
- use lukewarm water (not hot and not cold);
- wash your face no more than twice a day;
- pat the skin dry with a towel, do not rub;
- avoid bar soap - it is too alkaline;
- do not use aggressive alcohol-based products;
- do not touch your face during the day unless necessary.
We recommend:
- contains blue-green algae extract, improves collagen synthesis, and helps normalize sebum production.
Exfoliation (Peeling)
Peeling (exfoliation) is an important skincare step that removes dead skin cells 2-3 times a week and helps prevent clogged pores.
Hydration
Oily skin does not always need heavy creams, but lightweight gel hydration helps maintain balance and prevent dehydration.
- effectively hydrates, is suitable for oily skin, use 2-3 times a week.
Shine Control
Shine can be reduced with mattifying products that do not clog pores and help the skin look more even.
- provides a matte effect for up to 12 hours and contains mandelic and lactic acids.
Sun Protection
Ultraviolet radiation can worsen oily skin conditions and increase the appearance of comedones, so high-SPF sun protection is essential.
- leaves a lightweight finish and contains zinc oxide and soothing oils.
