Foundation for problem skin

Due to environmental problems, poor heredity, malnutrition and an abundance of junk food, lack of sleep and other "charms" of modern life in a big city, many girls have problems with facial skin. Cosmetologists and doctors present statistics according to which only eight or ten out of a hundred women have skin that can really be proud of. The rest constantly have to deal with unpleasant and unaesthetic manifestations on it.

Pimples, acne and comedones require special care and treatment. Moreover, it should be carried out in a complex manner, from inside and outside at the same time. It is necessary to focus on a nutritious diet rich in vitamins and nutrients, consuming enough fluids throughout the day. There are special therapeutic and caring masks, tonics and creams that form a decent care for the problematic dermis in everyday conditions.

But the treatment can take quite a long time, and you want to be a beauty with perfect skin right now. In this case, concealers, powders and, of course, foundation creams come to the aid of the fair sex. A light and weightless BB product is unlikely to help hide especially pronounced problem areas.Manufacturers of foundations for dermis with existing flaws promise excellent coverage of painful areas and care that prevents further occurrence of new problems.

Ladies who are not happy owners of perfect skin need to approach the choice of foundation very scrupulously. After all, skin with severe problems will react painfully to irritants, have increased sensitivity to the components of the composition. At the same time, it should have sufficiently pronounced properties of matting and toning.

Let's look at the properties of a foundation product that are necessary when used for problem skin.

• One of the required properties this tone should be hypoallergenic. The special sensitivity of the problematic dermis requires a composition that does not provoke allergic manifestations, irritations, redness and inflammation.
• The texture should be light enoughto make the cream suitable for enlarged pores. A cream that does not clog pores is called non-comedogenic. If it does not have this property, the remains of the cream in the skin pores will attract impurities, prevent sebum and sweat from coming out. Because of this, inflammation, acne and black spots will become even more.

• Together with the lightness of the texture the tone should be quite dense. The composition that hides irregularities can be a salvation for a person with pronounced problem areas, inflammation, acne marks and black dots. Particularly good covering power can be provided by a professional product that provides a permanent coating.With a good overlap of irregularities and imperfections, the composition should not form a mask on the dermis and be impermeable to air.
• SPF factor as protection from the harmful effects of sunlight is welcome for such products. Foci of inflammation and sensitive epidermis should be especially protected from ultraviolet radiation. Also, this rule is suitable when applying the cream in the area around the eyes.
• Ingredients with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, are also a huge plus for creams of this type. They allow not only to hide problem areas, but also to treat inflammation.
• For oily and mixed epidermis the content of matting ingredients will be useful. They will not only remove oily sheen, but will also regulate the production of sebum by the dermis. To do this, you can perfectly use natural oils and plant extracts - such as chamomile, St. John's wort or tea tree.

It is necessary to select a remedy with a note of compliance with the type of epidermis. This will most accurately level out all the shortcomings. Of course, the sticker on the packaging is not a guarantee of quality. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the composition of the selected product.

Among the ingredients of the foundation, there will definitely be substances that make its texture easy to use and comfortable to wear. Pigments that provide dense coverage and natural skin tone are also a must for such cosmetic products.But besides this, products intended for the care of problem skin should be safe, and even better - useful for the epidermis.

Let us dwell in more detail on the safety of the product. It is best if it has a natural composition. But there are not so many such goods on store shelves. To find an organic foundation, you have to work hard. But even if cosmetics contain artificially created ingredients, it should not contain harmful substances, especially contraindicated for sensitive dermis.

• The most harmful substance, which can be found in the composition of the tone is aluminum. Less commonly, it can be found in mattifying cosmetics. Scientists have proven that getting on the skin, this element has an unpleasant property to accumulate in the cells. In the future, a high concentration of aluminum in body tissues can provoke the formation of cancerous tumors.
• Silicone - a very common substance in tonal products. And you can find it in both budget and premium products. Due to its presence in the composition, the cream forms an impermeable film on the surface of the epidermis. The skin ceases to receive oxygen, besides, it cannot get rid of excess moisture. Heat and humidity provoke the growth and reproduction of bacteria and microorganisms, which are one of the causes of inflammation and acne.
• Another substance with negative effects is propylene glycol. It is "famous" for its ability to cause allergic manifestations. It is also able to absorb water, depriving the skin of moisture. Its effect in combination with silicone is unpleasant.Due to its allergic activity, propylene glycol provokes the appearance of microtraumas on the skin surface, and bacteria that multiply due to the silicone film actively use this. Through microcracks and spots, they can penetrate into the depths of the epidermis, provoking deep inflammation and suppuration.
• Glycerol, derived not from plants, but synthetically, can act on the skin like propylene glycol. At the same time, the substance obtained from vegetable oils acts on the skin just fine.
• Talc should not be present in healthy organic cosmetics. It is able to absorb water and lipids, depriving the epidermis of moisture and protection. May be the cause of the first manifestations of dryness and withering of the skin.

For oily problematic skin, it is better to use a fat-free mineral cream. It may not contain fats, or it may contain volatile silicones. They evaporate from the surface of the skin, leaving pigment particles and useful elements.

For dry skin, non-volatile silicones can also be used, which will create a breathable coating on the dermis, allowing it to receive oxygen without giving up moisture.

Natural glycerin is very useful for the epidermis, it has a powerful moisturizing effect.

It is good if the foundation for the problematic dermis contains natural vegetable oils and extracts, vitamins and amino acids, antioxidants. These substances will nourish the epidermis, restore and fight the signs of aging.

Often added to such cosmetic products are grape seed extract and green tea, vitamin complexes. Licorice and quince extract help control the production of oil in the skin.And tea tree oil, extract from chamomile and St. John's wort have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.

Dry skin needs slightly different care products. These are moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, vitamins A and E.

Foundation products for problematic dermis may vary in texture.

• Base creams have a light liquid consistency. They do not clog pores and are non-comedogenic. They also do not interfere with the oxygen exchange of the epidermis with the environment. These products are most often based on silicone oils, which are easy to apply and rinse off, while having a sufficient masking effect. Due to these properties, such foundations are most popular with users for daily use.
• Dense means have a heavier texture. Due to this, they have a masking effect, which allows you to hide significant skin imperfections. Such products are best used to create an evening look. For application, you can use a sponge or a special brush.
• Camouflage or concealer cream has the most dense and dense structure. They are used to mask imperfections such as scars, scars, acne, postoperative marks. The composition most often have silicone or wax of various nature. They are quite difficult to apply because of the special texture, especially on flaky skin. You need to have a special skill, otherwise the cream will certainly create the effect of a mask. It is not recommended to use such products on a daily basis.

It is better if the composition of cosmetics intended for painful dermis is hypoallergenic. Natural beneficial ingredients will provide decent care for sensitive, redness-prone skin.
