Care for problem skin
Separately, problematic skin can be distinguished, it can be oily in places where acne and redness occur. It can be dry and, damaged by external influences, become inflamed and covered with tubercles and cracks. It may be initially normal, but with improper care, the skin “gets sick” and requires special care.



It is important! You should not squeeze pimples or pierce them with a needle, such manipulations will not help get rid of skin problems, because the main cause most often starts from the inside. The best result will be a new pimple that has grown in the same place, but there are also more sad results, up to infections.
Regardless of the degree of damage and the volume of problems, a specially trained person, a cosmetologist, should decide on cosmetic or hardware procedures.

A less expensive, but also less accurate method is to do everything yourself. The main tool is the eyes, auxiliary materials are a paper napkin, water and a mirror. We choose good lighting and carefully examine all parts of the face, note the main markers of each skin type:

Enlarged pores, areas of inflammation, oily sheen at any time of the day, black dots on the nose or chin, the density and friability of the surface indicate oily skin;
If you apply a paper napkin to your forehead, nose and cheeks, oily skin leaves traces;
Excessive tightness, premature wrinkles, a bright venous pattern, a feeling of tightness, a tendency to peel, unpleasant sensations in the street and under the sun speak of dry skin;
Dryness can be detected with water - when washing, insufficiently moisturized skin will experience discomfort;
If you did not find any of the listed signs on the face, and the skin color is healthy with a blush, the skin is soft to the touch, but elastic, we can talk about the normal type.
You can determine the type of each area of the skin of the face and take into account the features in the selection of cosmetics and a set of manipulations.

The most common option is a combination of skin types in different areas: dry under the eyes, excessively oily in the “T” zone, normal on the cheekbones, or problematic in the cheek area and normal in other places. It is this fact that often makes it difficult to independently determine the type of skin.
How to determine your skin type?
Knowledge about the features of the skin of the face is necessary for a girl and a woman in order to choose the right cosmetics. There are 2 fundamentally different methods: independent or with the help of a specialist. The second option is clear and simple - you go to a beautician, he tests the skin with devices and gives a laboratory-confirmed result.

The process of the appearance of such defects begins in adolescence and continues throughout life. Therefore, proper skin care is as important as brushing your teeth daily, taking a shower and keeping your body healthy. The sooner you start preventive and restorative measures, the less unpleasant consequences you will get "at the end".

Basic steps in facial care
The quality of cosmetics undoubtedly plays a huge role in the effectiveness of procedures. But another important point is the consistency and regularity of care. It is not enough to clean the skin only after applying makeup once a week, you need to do it daily. You need to moisturize your face not at the moment of feeling discomfort and dryness, but every morning and evening with appropriate creams. The intensity and frequency of additional procedures is determined by each woman for herself, but the basic set should be unchanged:

Cleansing the skin from dirt and make-up residues;
Applying a tonic that matches your skin type;
Moisturizing creams, selected taking into account all individual characteristics.

The Olympic champion advises, first of all, to listen to your body, not to rush to blindly imitate the regimen of athletes, girlfriends, loved ones. First, evaluate your capabilities: for example, if you are new to sports, then you should not torture yourself in the gym with liters of water between sets, “more” does not mean “better”.
Proper cleansing and moisturizing should begin as early as possible, then the skin on the face will remain young and supple much longer. Unpleasant manifestations that appear without proper care:

Small mimic wrinkles can still be corrected with cosmetics, and deep ones can only be corrected with plastic;
Redness, inflammation appear when pores are clogged or pathogens get on the surface of the skin;
Pimples, blackheads, rashes, acne - to varying degrees, is inherent in any type of skin and worries almost 90% of people;
Dryness, peeling can appear even on oily skin with improper care;
Black dots on the wings of the nose and the “T” zone are the result of blockage of pores by sebum, dust and bacteria;
Flabbiness and inelasticity of the skin in the initial stages can be stopped by cosmetics;
The pits and irregularities of the skin resulting from the violation of the inner layer, with proper daily care, can be significantly smoothed out.
