After a while, blackheads, redness, and pimples suddenly appear on the face. The same problems haunt the owners of oily and combination skin.
It is possible to avoid similar troubles only under one condition - using cleansers. The procedure is ideally carried out in the morning and evening hours. Deep cleansing for the skin is shown at least 2 times a week. What exactly to use for guidance of beauty depends on individual preferences. These can be ready-made store or home remedies. Costskeep in mind that for the latter you need to use natural ingredients.

Cosmetologists recommend doing this procedure 2 times a week at home, especially if the skin is prone to oiliness. The most successful facial cleansers in this case are scrubs and masks. Just keep in mind that they need to be applied to prepared skin. To do this, make a steam bath based on medicinal herbs. The scrub is rubbed into the skin with light movements for 2-3 minutes, after which it is washed off and a mask is applied. The final step is a nourishing cream (according to skin type).

Therefore, a positive effect will be after using milk based on egg yolks and infusion of chamomile or string.
Skin Cleansing Soap
There is an opinion that in the old fashioned way, with the help of soap, it is impossible to clean the skin on the face. The substances contained in it damage the lipid layer and disrupt the epidermis. From here, various problems begin in the form of peeling, redness, comedones. But still, cosmetics manufacturers have been able to create suitable soap products that gently remove dirt from the surface of the most sensitive skin.

How to choose a cosmetic product?
Properly selected skin cleansers should fully cope with their direct duties, remove dirt from the surface and not cause allergies. Of course, it is better to entrust such a choice to a specialist (not a seller in a store) - a cosmetologist or dermatologist. If this is not possible, reviews recommend that when buying, pay attention not to the popularity of the manufacturer, but to the components that make up the product and the type of skin for which it is intended.
For oily skin, the cleanser should be gel-like, with fine abrasive particles(scrubs). The composition should not contain cream or glycerin. This type of skin is not friendly with these components, which can be determined by the deterioration of its condition. Lotions, tonics and foams are also suitable for daily use.

If after use there is no feeling of the presence of a film on the skin, then the product can be safely used for cosmetic procedures.
