In adolescence and young adulthood, oily skin causes a lot of problems. This skin type is characterized by enlarged pores, black sebaceous plugs, oily shine on the face and many other cosmetic troubles. The interesting thing is that at a more mature age it retains its freshness and youth much longer. Signs of aging and wrinkles appear much later than in people with other skin types.
If you choose the right methods of care, then there will be no problems with it. An excellent solution would be creams, tonics and masks against oily facial skin. It’s another matter if the skin has increased oil content. This is a pathology. The sebaceous glands intensively produce sebum (sebum), which reduces the protective functions and leads to the development of bacterial rashes (seborrhea, acne, etc.). In this case, in addition to cosmetic care, treatment will be required.
Oily type - principles of daily care
The most common type is a mixed type, when the skin is oily on the forehead, nose, and chin; this is the so-called T-zone. Truly oily skin has clearly noticeable wide pores, is shiny and its color is yellowish, even a little earthy. It peels off, if you wash with tap water and soap, rashes and irritation appear. In summer, makeup does not stay on the face: it simply runs off due to the abundance of secreted fat. People with this type of epidermis are forced to constantly struggle with acne, comedones, and pimples, but it is precisely due to increased oiliness that the face ages much more slowly than those with dry and normal skin.
But masks for oily skin, which can be made at home, can significantly reduce all negative manifestations, and numerous positive reviews confirm this. I know this firsthand - my son has a mixed skin type, and during his teenage years he had problems familiar to many: pimples, blackheads, but proper systematic care did its good work.
The basis of proper facial care is cleansing. This way we remove excess sebum, makeup residues and dirt that has settled on the face throughout the day. If your sebaceous glands work excessively, then you need to cleanse your face more often. In the morning and before going to bed, you need to wash your face with water at a comfortable temperature, or mineral water, using a suitable non-aggressive product - gel, foam, milk. To cleanse the pores, I recommend washing your face using a face brush, which should be soft and always clean.
You have almost everything for proper skin care at home
There is an opinion that this type of epidermis should be cleansed more often with scrubs, supposedly this will make it fresher and cleaner. Should not be doing that. Several times a week you can use oatmeal or rolled oats ground into flour - pour a small amount onto a saucer, take it with wet fingers and do a light facial massage, and then rinse with water. After washing your face this way, it becomes softer and less shiny.
After washing, the skin needs to be toned; for this, use lotion or tonic. Choose products with AHA acids (fruit, glycolic, lactic, malic, salicylic), which affect the functioning of the sebaceous glands, moisturize, and help exfoliate dead cells. You can wipe your face with herbal decoctions or ice cubes from the same decoctions or juice of berries and fruits mixed with water. Remember that all tonics, creams, masks should be applied along massage lines - from the center to the ears. Contrary to advertising, you should not use products containing alcohol, as they, if used constantly, excessively dry out even oily skin.
We complete our daily care by applying a light, moisturizing cream. In the morning it is better to use a product with a sun filter, and an evening cream can be nourishing. If the skin is very problematic, then you should apply the healing cream both in the morning and in the evening. It’s good if the gel or cream contains zinc, sulfur, the same AHA acids, vitamins A and B.
For oily skin, choose products with fruit acids
Advice: limit yourself to flour and sweets, as this provokes excessive secretion of sebum. In addition, it will have a good effect on your figure.

Zinc extract has an antibacterial effect and relieves inflammation. The mask returns dullness, softness and healthy color to the skin.
