Care for oily and problem skin in summer: general recommendations and choice of products

In conditions of hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands, the skin acquires a greasy sheen, often a grayish tint, its relief becomes uneven, the pores expand, acne elements often appear on the face. At the same time, inflammatory processes, bacterial activity and follicular hyperkeratosis also play a role in the development of acne.

In order to properly care for oily and problematic facial skin, it is important to know the basic rules for using cosmetics and choose the most suitable products that will help regulate sebum production and at the same time will not aggressively affect the skin of the face.

The main principles of oily and problem skin care

Oily skin needs to be provided with constant and at the same time gentle care, since an aggressive effect on problem skin can provoke both hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands and the appearance of rashes. Taking into account the characteristics of oily and problematic skin, such as follicular hyperkeratosis, increased sebum production, P. acnes bacteria, enlarged pores, as well as active exposure to ultraviolet radiation in the summer, we can distinguish:

1. Key care tasks:

•    proper cleansing;

•    neutralization of bacterial impact;

•    regulation of the activity of the sebaceous glands;

•    elimination of hyperkeratosis;

•    UV protection;

•    moisture.
