How to mask inflammation with foundation?

Nothing spoils the mood like a pimple that has appeared out of place. Here you will need all possible knowledge on how to mask inflammation with foundation.

Mostly acne on the face appears as a result of improper skin care. But there are also a number of factors that influence their education. So, for example, with frequent touching of the face with unwashed hands, the cells of the epidermis are clogged with household dirt, dust, chemicals and just sebum. Therefore, in order to touch your face, you must first wash your hands or clean your skin often enough with tonics and lotions. Now, specifically for this, branded manufacturers produce micellar water.

If the skin is prone to inflammation, environmental influences can provoke a worsening of the situation: heat, rain, dust, and even ordinary cleaning with chemicals. Sensitive epidermis will instantly react to the pathogenic flora. Not uncommon - cases of hormonal fights, stress and lack of vitamins. Then the cause of inflammation comes from within.This can be easily corrected by medication, using the substances necessary for the body.

Bad habits such as alcohol and smoking should also not be ignored. By adversely affecting the body, nitrates and ethyl alcohol disrupt the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands, the activity of skin cells and contribute to the loss of elasticity. Together, the epidermis ceases to cope with the basic functions, struggling with the consequences of addictions. Therefore, before getting rid of acne, it is necessary to determine the cause of their appearance.

The most basic rule is proper cleansing. To do this, suitable gel, mousse or foam for washing, matched to the type of skin. But with severe skin lesions, it is possible to wash with laundry soap at a moderate frequency so as not to overdry the epidermis. Further, experts recommend wiping the face with tonic, lotion or micellar water. Not so much moisturizing will give the skin a remedy, but it will help to thoroughly cleanse it.

The easiest way to hide a pimple is to use concealer. But you can significantly reduce the scale of the tragedy and speed up its healing with the help of special products or folk remedies. Cosmetic products offered by manufacturers to eliminate inflammation are quite expensive, and some are completely ineffective. Although most of them do an excellent job.In the cosmetic market, almost every brand produces such products.

In emergency cases, you can use any vasoconstrictor, whether it be eye drops or a cold. In the shortest possible time, drops are able to minimize redness around inflammation by reducing blood flow in this place. But traditional medicine still gives significant results.

The use of tea tree oil has always been resorted to. A powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory natural ester is applied locally to the site of inflammation every 30 minutes. The procedure is carried out until the desired effect is achieved. To do this, it is enough to do ether applications for 5 hours. Natural tea tree essential oil not only relieves swelling and redness, but also deeply cleanses the pores, preventing the appearance of new acne in this place.

• For emergencies, regular ice will do. Due to the low temperature, such a lotion instantly constricts blood vessels and reduces inflammation. True, for the treatment of acne, it is better to use special cosmetic ice or frozen decoctions of herbs. An infusion of chamomile or calendula is perfect.
• A very powerful antiseptic - badyaga. For the procedure, it is enough to mix half a teaspoon with water or hydrogen peroxide and apply on redness for 5-10 minutes. The advantage of badyagi is that it is not only an antiseptic and relieves redness, but also accelerates the regeneration of damaged skin cells.

• Streptocide powder is no less effective (you can use a crushed tablet). The drug is applied to the affected area of ​​the skin for about 30 minutes, after which it must be washed off with water. For greater effect, remove the powder with hydrogen peroxide.
• Aspirin can also be used instead of streptocide. The drug has a slight exfoliating property. A crushed aspirin tablet should be applied to the pimple for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly with water.

• Calendula tincture is also very effective for inflammation. When using the product, it is enough to wet a cotton pad with it and apply it to the pimple for a while. Calendula disinfects and dries.
• For deep acne or purulent inflammation, aloe will save. You can use a fresh leaf of the plant, or you can purchase a pharmacy version of an alcohol tincture. A compress is made on the damaged area for about 3 hours. The plant has anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties.

Before masking the inflammation, it is necessary to cleanse the skin and locally apply a healing cream with an antibacterial effect. Next, you need to choose the right makeup base. It comes in several types:

1. liquid version. Outwardly similar to foundation, it is also suitable for dry epidermis.
2. Creamy base. A product in the form of a mousse or soufflé that hides pores, evens out the skin texture and has a matte effect. Perfect for oily or problem skin.
3. Spray the product effectively evens out skin tone, but is applied locally. Does not guarantee complete masking of the focus of inflammation.
4. solid base - This is a product that masks acne and severe inflammation well. Has a dense tone that provides maximum camouflage.
5. Dry the consistency is similar to powder. The tool is able to absorb excess sebum, which is important for the oily type of the epidermis.

So, the skin is cleansed and a moisturizer is applied.But what type of concealer to choose, a detailed review of each of them will help.

• Pencil (or stick). Perhaps this is the most convenient type of corrector due to its compactness and the possibility of using it locally. Brand brands have been producing two- and three-color pencils for a long time. If the two-tone ones have a palette of green (removes redness and has an anti-inflammatory effect) and flesh (directly foundation) colors, then in the latter case, pink is also added to eliminate strong skin pigmentation.
• Foundation (or BB and CC creams). The product is selected according to the type and shade of the epidermis. Only here the foundation should always be a tone lighter than necessary and not have a pink undertone. The most effective for masking inflammation are flesh and ivory. And for a more natural make-up, it is better to give preference to moisturizing tinting products. Too thick a layer can create a mask effect.
• Use of concealer will favorably affect not only the appearance of the face, but also the inflammation itself. Therefore, it is worth choosing a corrective remedy of a natural shade with aloe or tea tree oil extracts.
• Powder will be the easiest way to give a matte effect to the epidermis and hide imperfections. The product is easy to apply with a sponge or brush and spreads evenly over the skin of the face.

The only thing you should not use when creating makeup is a bronzer and blush with any hint of red or pink undertones, as this will only draw attention to problem areas. And with extensive foci of inflammation, it is better to completely abandon the use of such funds.

The first step, of course, will be a quality skin cleansing. The next step is to degrease the epidermis with the help of special tonics or micellar lotion. We moisturize the skin of the face and proceed to masking. Before you cover up acne, you need to apply a thin layer of makeup base with a sponge or brush (depending on the chosen product). Next, a green corrector is applied locally. The main thing is to observe a sense of proportion, otherwise the problem areas will have a characteristic shade.

The foundation is applied all over the face and gently blended with fingers or a brush. True, if there is one rash, you can limit yourself to masking only this area. If large areas of the face are affected, the cream should also be distributed on the neck and décolleté. Otherwise, the face will look unnatural. Loose powder is suitable as a mattifying agent and for fixing makeup. Application should be carried out with driving movements using a special brush.

In addition to the usual recommendations for masking inflammation, experts give some more useful tips when creating makeup:

• You can not squeeze acne, so as not to increase inflammation;
• It is preferable to use branded, natural-based cosmetics that do not cause allergies;
• Choose products with a minimum fat content, otherwise there is a high risk of clogging pores;
• To apply tinting agents, use clean hands or a brush. Or wash your cosmetic sponge as often as possible.
• When working with the face, actions should be performed with light movements so as not to provoke redness and irritation of the epidermis and already existing inflammation;
• Use tinting products only for their intended purpose and immediately before going out;
• With minor rashes, you can divert attention from it by focusing on the opposite part of the face. So, for example, if the problem arose in the forehead area, then it is worth highlighting the lips with bright lipstick. And if acne occurs on the lower part of the face, then we focus on the eyes. Inflammation in the middle zone of the face can be hidden only with natural light makeup.
