Blackheads, enlarged pores, dry skin, discoloration and the first wrinkles – these are the beauty problems that most often keep us awake at night. Find out what to do to make your skin look like a million dollars.
Skin problems – blemishes, blackheads, pimples
It is not only hormonal disorders (puberty, premenstrual syndrome, pregnancy) that determine the appearance of “uninvited guests” on your skin. If you smoke, eat poorly, live under constant stress, abuse the sun, or use inappropriate cosmetics, the skin’s sebaceous glands produce more sebum (an oily substance). This, in turn, leads to excessive keratinization of the sebaceous canals and results in the appearance of blackheads, microcysts, and inflammation. What can you do? First, try to touch your face as little as possible – millions of bacteria are feeding on your hands, phone and earbuds. Second, never, never, never squeeze any pimples.

Our advice: Proper cleansing is the most important step in your care. Instead of alcohol-based cosmetics, which intensely dry the skin and, paradoxically, contribute to the intensification of seborrhea, use gels, micellar waters and lotions containing antibacterial ingredients. When it comes to hydration, choose creams with a light texture that effectively remove imperfections and eliminate acne discoloration. At Medonet Market you can buy a serum with vitamin C, which helps to even out the skin tone. If you want to keep your skin looking young, you should also reach for a facial repair treatment and a strong moisturizing serum by Oio Lab. We also recommend the Natural Tonic soothing and brightening for sensitive and oily skin Bioherba.
Skin problems – shine and enlarged pores
The pores are hundreds of thousands of microscopic holes in the face that allow the sweat secreted by the sweat glands to be expelled to cool and protect the skin. They can enlarge and become more visible, especially if you are the wearer oily or combination skin. However, the complexion you complain about so much has advantages. Its hydro-lipid coat is stronger and works very well as a barrier for external aggressors. As a result, your skin ages more slowly and wrinkles are less visible.
At Medonet Market you can buy a kit for the daily care of oily skin, by Cannaderm. Cosmetics regulate the production of sebum, gently cleanse the skin and regenerate it. The set includes a cleansing mask, eye cream and make-up remover cream.
Our advice: Proper care will help you reduce the glow of your skin. First of all, avoid alcohol-based products, the content of which contributes to the increased work of the sebaceous glands and leads to overdrying. Replace oily and nourishing creams with matting ones, and use cleansing scrubs and masks based on green or red clay once a week. Try the Orientana clay mask – ginger and lemongrass, and the Orientana clay mask – almond and saffron.
We also recommend the natural Orientana face cream made of sandalwood and turmeric, and the gel with snail slime for problematic skin. Both products are available on Medonet Market at attractive prices.
When it comes to color cosmetics, mineral foundations and powders that work more gently than their traditional counterparts will work best for you. On the one hand, they will provide you with adequate coverage, on the other hand, they will not cause a “mask effect”. The new “must have” of your cosmetic bag is matting papers that effectively absorb excess sebum, and your “favorite drink” – an infusion of sage, which has an astringent and anti-inflammatory effect.
If you want to improve the appearance of the skin, you can reach for the dietary supplement with hyaluronic acid and collagen available on Medonet Market at an attractive price. Also try I’m beautiful – the Panaseus dietary supplement, which affects not only the condition of the skin, but also hair and nails.
Problems with the skin – problematic capillaries
Vascular skin is one of the most common skin types in perimenopausal women, but it also affects young women between the ages of 20 and 35. It is thin and delicate, and can be accompanied by: itching, tightening, burning and hypersensitivity to cosmetics. The blushes appearing on the face are favored by factors such as: sudden temperature changes, hot drinks and spicy spices, stimulants (alcohol and cigarettes), as well as stress and strong emotions.
Our advice: The most important element of skin care with dilated capillaries and a tendency to erythema is prophylaxis, i.e. strengthening the capillaries, as well as preventing the influence of negative factors that may worsen their condition. Use mild products for sensitive and vascular skin to cleanse the skin. Choose from face masks – moisturizing and soothing ones, and from peels – enzymatic ones. Every day, moisturize the skin with a delicate strengthening cream intended for couperose skin, which will soothe irritations and even out its color. And one more thing, remember that prolonged exposure to the sun accelerates the expansion of blood vessels – so always remember to sunscreen.

Problems with the complexion – the aftermath of the sun
Do you dream of radiant skin with an even color, but dark spots appear on your face, more visible after frequent sun exposure? Behind pigmentation discoloration corresponds to an excess of melanin – a brown pigment produced by melanocytes, located in the basal layer of the epidermis. In addition to UV radiation, factors that increase the risk of discoloration are: thyroid and liver diseases, inflammation, hormonal disorders, some medications (contraceptives, antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), and even some cosmetics or perfumes. The best protection against sunspots is to avoid long exposure to the sun and to use creams with protective filters containing a high factor.
Our advice: Vitamins are an ally in the fight against discoloration. Therefore, look for vitamins A and C in ointments and creams, which have lightening properties. Vitamin E and fruit acids also have a beneficial effect on the skin. It is best to start removing sun discolorations in the autumn and winter period. Microdermabrasion, peelings and laser treatments are used to treat spots on the skin.
You can also try the CC cream with SPF 20 filter by Embryolisse, which masks imperfections. It is in the form of a spray. It is available on Medonet Market.
Skin problems – first wrinkles
Is your problem crow’s feet, wrinkles on the forehead, around the mouth and between the eyebrows? Mimic wrinkles appear around the age of 25, in those areas of the face that we move most often. They are the first sign of the aging process, i.e. a slow process of cell renewal, reduced production of collagen and elastin fibers. If you want to reduce their visibility, you need to change your lifestyle accordingly and choose the right cosmetics.
An important step in care is thorough makeup removal. If you have dry or mature skin, pay attention to Orientana oil for dry and mature skin with Japanese rose and saffron.
Our advice: Fighting wrinkles is about prevention, not fighting. Therefore, sunbathe as little as possible and protect your skin from UV radiation all year round, even on cloudy days. An important step in the prevention of wrinkles is the selection of an appropriate eye cream. Your first cream does not necessarily have to be a strong, moisturizing product – a XNUMX-year-old cream will only need a gentle, light consistency. When applying face care products, do not forget about the neck and upper chest.
Do you want to counteract the skin aging processes? Go to Medonet Market and order Nutri-nano coenzyme Q10 in tablets that inhibit the development of free radicals. You should also choose the right cosmetics, such as an antioxidant and moisturizing cream with reishi mushrooms for daily use.
Skin problems – dry skin
If your skin is dull, rough and tense, and the day creams do not bring any relief, it means that you have dry skin. Unlike combination and oily skin, it shows a lipid imbalance. The hydro-lipid layer is not sufficient, the epidermis becomes permeable, and the skin ceases to act as a barrier against external factors such as cold, wind or solar radiation. The phenomenon of dry skin may also occur in the course of diseases such as atopic dermatitis, chronic renal failure or hypothyroidism.
Our advice: First of all, remember to stay hydrated – the recommended amount of water is at least 1,5 liters per day. In addition, include in your diet products containing vitamins C, B, A and E, which increase collagen production, protect against UV radiation and ensure skin hydration. When it comes to skincare, choose oiling products. Try the highly moisturizing Embryolisse Complex Serum in a glass bottle. A moisturizing cream with a filter will work during the day, while a moisturizing, regenerating and nourishing cream will be suitable for the night.
Proper care and a balanced diet should be supported by supplementation. At Medonet Market, you can now buy a Swanson supplement for a beautiful appearance. The preparation is rich in amino acids and natural extracts that take care of healthy hair, skin and nails from the inside.
