Except, as you say, when you want to enhance the beauty of skin. It is called silky, shiny, gentle. But to boast of such a skin is not: it is affected and the state of the environment, and the nature of power, and the choice of caregivers. We will talk about what is the right treatment for the skin and what features it has.
How to develop an individual treatment program for the face
We all dream about how to care for the skin was the most effective. So take into account all its individual characteristics. Only cosmetics are four skin types — normal, oily, dry and combination. Determine what type of skin, we list their main features:
- Oily skin. The main feature — the increased separation of fat and Shine. The skin looks bad, then expanded. Oily skin prone to comedones and acne. But fine facial wrinkles appear on it relatively late.
- Dry skin is the opposite of fat. The separation of the fat reduced, skin is not shiny and matte paint may peel off. Dry skin is thin and delicate, but and wrinkles appear faster, sometimes up to 30 years. The pores on the skin of this type is almost invisible.
- Normal skin — the Golden mean, which is relatively rare. Separation of fat in case of normal skin medium skin can Shine, but only the T-zone, pores are usually small and also extended only in the Central part of the face. Usually the skin of this type is resistant to external and internal factors, its status is "smooth" this year.
- Combination skin combines the features of the above-listed three types. Owners of combination skin may have enlarged pores with T-zone, the increased separation of fat in certain areas of the face, sometimes there are comedones and acne. Generally, combination skin is not prone to early aging.
All of these features should be taken into account when choosing the means to care for the skin. After all, if you use the creams and lotions that are "not satisfied" with your skin type, you can get the opposite effect: not only no effect, but may worsen the appearance. For example, if the owners of dry skin is to use exfoliating scrubs with rough particles that could easily hurt him. But the owners of oily skin, the use of special tools, it is necessary to find a balance, otherwise you can dry out the surface layers of the skin, this global problem is still unresolved.
Thus, the main principle of proper skin care products at home — choose its type. If you have normal skin type, then you can make a program, self care, focusing on general recommendations. Owners of dry, oily and especially for combination skin we recommend you contact the experts — cosmetologists or dermatologists. So it is possible to select those skin care products that will solve problems, not exacerbate them.
It is crucial!
Everyone knows that it is not recommended to choose skin care products if your skin belongs to normal type. But how to explain this? It is the ultimate reason. Dry skin can be the consequence of reducing the activity of sebaceous glands, and may be the result of violation of the integrity of the epidermis. So, dry skin is often solve the moisture at home, introducing a thick layer of nourishing cream. If dry skin is not related to the sebaceous glands, and the condition of the skin, such a choice can aggravate the situation: a rich cream forms a skin on the surface of the film, without interfering with skin respiration and normal metabolism
In any case — you can choose funds on their own or resort to the professional assistance program of skin care face includes three steps: cleansing, toning and nutrition. However, the list of caregivers and the recommended procedures is different in each case.
Care for normal skin
May seem very simple, but it has its own peculiarities. In particular, the cleanser should be used that do not contain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory components. Peeling should not be used more than once a week. Means on the basis of alcohol, which dries the skin, it is better not to choose, and instead use in cosmetics herbal ingredients: extracts of chamomile, aloe, calendula, tea tree. It smoothes skin texture and improve its appearance.
Day creams for normal skin should include sunscreen to prevent overdrying. Moisturize the skin at home it is better to use special tools, that is, those who do not form a film on the surface. This is not usually the creams and gels include proteins, polysaccharides, and other substances.
Rules for the care of oily skin
Oily skin requires special care, which does not cause increased activity of sebaceous glands and thus drains the superficial layer of the epidermis. It is also necessary to remember, that oily skin lower concentration of linoleic acid. This leads to the fact that the worse the epidermis protects the skin from various pathogens irritation and inflammation. Therefore, oily skin often suffer from redness.
The main directions for the care of oily skin:
- quality cleaning;
- bactericidal treatment of the skin;
- the decrease in activity of the sebaceous glands;
- hydration;
- the removal of areas of increased density (which accumulates in the sebum and bugs).
Washing is recommended to choose funds with a neutral (7) or acidic pH (4,5–5,2): changes the acidity in the opposite direction increases the risk of bacterial growth. It is better to take the so-called soap without soap, which does not contain alkali. These are products that contain ammonium lactate. Lactate of zinc will help to adjust the separation of the fat, "dry" skin gently and delicately. After washing 2-3 times a week can also be to clean the skin scrub. It helps to remove skin cells that are shed by itself. You can use exfoliating creams or gels of synthetic particles in the composition.
Toning it is better to use products that do not contain alcohol. It can be, tonics and lotions with plant extracts, in particular — chamomile, calendula, aloe.
Sometimes the owners of oily skin, believe that it is not necessary to moisturize. Of course, it is not, however, moisturizers should not be a heavy, dense texture and do the breathing and the flow of sebum. Moisturizes the skin, it is better to use a cream, gel, serum or cream. If the skin is prone to inflammation, nutritional remedies should include anti-inflammatory components, for example, bisabolol. But we must remember that the gel is not recommended for use in the cold winter, they are only suitable for night cream.
Treatment for dry skin
Dry skin can be congenital, genetic, but sometimes happen throughout life. In particular, the level of production of sebum associated with hormonal — when you get closer to menopause, dryness of the skin increases. It can also be the result of improper care, such as the number of shells.
Treatment for dry skin is very sensitive. When cleaning, it is not recommended to use cleaning products, which gives a rich foam: they "wash out" the fat from the skin. It is desirable that cleaning agents containing oils or other parts of the body. It is not necessary to wash with hot water: it should be a comfortable temperature.
Dry skin is recommended to use products that contain ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids. These substances contribute to the normalization of external skin barrier. If the skin is broken, use the tools that create the thin membrane, which keeps water. This feature is in possession of the paraffin and glycerine, which can act as a means of rapid assistance during their use of the water balance of the skin is quickly restored. Take care of masks is recommended for those who have gel or creamy texture. Masks containing clay are especially popular today, it is necessary to keep the face until it is dry, because after the skin becomes too dry. Clay masks can close the top with foil.
Often, if you have dry skin is to seal, hyperkeratosis. In this case, when the treatment using the treatment of emulsions and creams with acids — salicylic, citric, glycolic, malic.
In addition, it is recommended to monitor the level of moisture in the air (preferably in household humidifiers) and diet. Dry skin has a positive effect on the consumption of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids. They promote the production of lipids, to improve the state of the epidermal barrier.
The correct treatment of the skin of the combined type
Special care for combination skin to explain the nuances of its structure. Increased activity of the sebaceous glands in the T-zone requires special attention. When cleansing combination skin peels are recommended twice a week. This will make cleaning more efficiently and accelerate the absorption of the active components of the creams. However, if the T-zone is the inflammation, peeling should be done.
The second is the phase of power to different sites should use different tools. For example, in the area of increased activity of the sebaceous glands is necessary to apply to the carpet and drying creams. But creams that have a strong moisturizing action is recommended, the cheeks and the forehead.
Anti-aging treatment
With age, the body as a whole and, therefore, the epidermis in particular is a series of changes, slowed metabolism, tissue regeneration, reduce water content, which eventually leads to the loss of tone. Changes in the hormonal balance also affects the condition of the skin: less moisture is delayed, the easier small wrinkles are formed. Therefore, the program for anti-aging skin care should be comprehensive, preferably anti-age treatment for the entire body. And directly to the person in the picture:
- biorevitalization — injection of hyaluronic acid;
- ozone the effect of ozone on the skin;
- photorejuvenation — laser irradiation;
- facial massage;
- the use of retinoic acid, a synthetic analogue of vitamin a, which is responsible for the skin's regeneration cells.
The aim of these activities is to improve the tone, replenish water, protect against free radicals — molecules that can damage proteins and activate the aging process of cells. However, the procedure of anti-aging treatment contains so many nuances, that is a topic for another great article.
