In the summer, when the temperature in the shade reaches 35 degrees, even dry skin may shine. Woman’s Day will tell you how to prevent its appearance and how to deal with this unpleasant phenomenon.
To prevent the appearance of shine on the face, it is necessary to pay due attention to cleansing the skin.
Gloss on the face can appear due to improper care. In hot weather, special attention should be paid to cleansing the skin. A sufficient amount of time should be set aside for this procedure in the morning and in the evening. For washing, use foams or gels, they will help remove not only dust and makeup residues from the face, but also excess sebum. Then use a cleanser. “In summer, not only decorative cosmetics, but also cleansers should have a light texture,” says Elena Eliseeva, dermatovenerologist, training manager at Vichy. “For example, the facial milk, which is so necessary in winter, should be replaced with a tonic or micellar solution.” Pay attention to the composition of the product. “Alcohol-containing tonics and lotions are not suitable for summer,” continues Elena Eliseeva, “they dehydrate the skin very much, which means they can provoke increased sebum secretion.”
During the hot period, once or twice a week, it is worth pampering the skin with cleansing masks. This is especially true for owners of oily and combination skin. And, according to Irina Podtesova, Givenchy makeup artist, the ideal time to apply a mask is evening. “Without overloading the skin with cosmetics at night, you will allow it to fully recover by the morning,” says Irina.
Matting wipes and thermal water will help remove shine on the face.
In the summer, it is worth giving up makeup. Moreover, there are many tools that can quite successfully replace tonal foundations. For example, try matting emulsions. “They have a light melting texture and are able to absorb excess sebum for an even complexion. Moreover, many of them regulate sebum production: for example, the Effaclar emulsion from LaRoche-Posay, ”says Ekaterina Dobrydneva, medical expert at La Roche-Posay, INNEOV, SkinCeuticals.
If you can’t do without thick makeup, pay attention to the selection of decorative cosmetics for the summer: give up heavy tonal foundations and products with a powdery texture. “Also always have matting wipes and thermal water on hand. The first will help remove sebum, and the second will refresh the skin, – says Elena Eliseeva. – And in any case, do not apply powder after this procedure! Not only will it clog the pores, but it will also make the complexion uneven. “
If you give up makeup and shine appears on your face, experts advise wiping your face with makeup remover wipes. “But under no circumstances use tonics and lotions throughout the day. Leave them for home care in the morning and evening, ”advises Elena Eliseeva. The fact is that frequent use of cleansers (more than twice a day) can have the opposite effect: the sebaceous glands will start working faster, and it will be much more difficult to cope with the shine on the face …
Means to help cope with shine on the face
Solar radiation provokes an increase in the oily skin, while dehydrating it. Therefore, when choosing products for the face, study their composition. In the formula of fluids and emulsions, moisturizing and UV-protective components must be present.
If none of the above tips helps, it may be due to the condition of your body. Increased sebum production can occur due to hormonal disruptions or other health problems. In this case, do not delay the visit to the doctor.
