Masks for oily skin

The oily type of facial skin implies a special additional care, which is not complete without the use of store or homemade masks. Oily and problematic dermis has an increased secretion of sebum - sebum, which leads to clogging of pores, the formation of acne and inflammation, acne, uneven complexion and the formation of an oily film on its surface.. The only advantage of this type of skin can be called its delayed aging and the fact that by a more mature age the skin often becomes normal - the oily sheen disappears and the once enlarged pores are reduced.

Oily skin type has a number of problems not only of an aesthetic nature in the form of enlarged pores or black dots, seemingly harmless "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 the following features:

• They are cleansing, moisturizing, lifting, narrowing pores;
• Their main property is to cleanse the skin and normalize the work of the sebaceous glands, the secondary is to moisturize the dermis;
• Only regular use of masks will get rid of oily skin with an unpleasant sheen;
• It is recommended to use masks for oily facial 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 basis of masks to reduce shine 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 secretions. 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 the mask both for application to the entire face and to problem areas - the T-zone;
• It is recommended to keep the mask for oily skin on the skin for no more than 30 minutes, since each composition differs in its characteristics and degree of “work”.

Compositions and components that narrow the pores are often based on natural ingredients such as fruit acids, herbal decoctions and clay, which act as the main element of the mask. Enlarged pores not only look unattractive, but are also a repository of bacteria and germs, street dust and excess sebum. The procedure for narrowing the pores with a cosmetic mask does not allow germs and dirt to accumulate inside the skin and makes the surface of the face more uniform.

The main stage in the care of oily skin is its cleansing through not only the usual “washers”, but also a classic mask based on clay, or kaolin. The clay mask allows you to cleanse the pores, normalize the secretion of sebum, eliminate the resulting inflammation and prevent the appearance of new ones due to the drying effect.

A mask for problem skin with kaolin absorbs excess sebum and enhances metabolic processes in cells in order to reduce further sebum production.
