How do I take care of problematic skin?

Many of us have skin problems such as acne, blackheads, clogged pores, oily skin, pigmentation and so on. All these skin imperfections often lead to uncomfortable sensations, lower self-confidence and sometimes a reluctance to dress up or go out with friends. Nobody wants to feel bad and we all deserve to be able to have confidence in our skin and feel good.

Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to improve the condition of your problem skin.

Getting rid of bad habits

This time we won't talk about giving up alcohol, nicotine, etc. when you have problematic skin. In fact, people have all sorts of habits in their daily routine that often worsen the condition of their skin.

One of them is touching the face with dirty hands. Try to keep your facial skin as little as possible during the day. It is also very important not to touch your phone screen too close to your face. This is one of the dirtiest things, so it is very important to keep it away from your face. The phone screen should also be cleaned regularly. If we have already talked about 'dirty things', it is worth mentioning make-up brushes. If brushes are not washed regularly, they start to accumulate a lot of bacteria that settle on the face with the make-up product and thus worsen the skin condition. It is also worth forgetting about wiping the face with a common towel. If you don't have a separate towel for your face, which is washed very often, then use disposable paper wipes to dry your face. Choosing the right products

Problematic skin requires special care. So depending on your skin problems, you need to choose the right products for you:

• If your skin is plagued by blackheads, look for skin products with salicylic acid. There is now a wide range of products with salicylic acid. You can use a salicylic acid serum. It is ideal for individual areas of the skin. You can also use a facial cleanser with salicylic acid. Acne on your skin? Choose hydrocolloid acne patches for initial reduction of inflammation. They will help prevent the spread of inflammation and speed up the healing of acne. Also look for products with acids.
• If you are thinking of exfoliating your face, choose only chemical or enzymatic scrubs. Forget scrubs with granules, which not only damage the skin and can cause micro-cracks, but can also lead to the spread of skin inflammation.
• Pay close attention to your choice of face cream. Look carefully at the ingredients of the product, as problematic skin tends to be more "plumped up". Look for a non-comedogenic face cream, which should be light, non-greasy and usually gel-like in texture. For problematic skin, creams containing inflammation-soothing agents such as Asian centella extract or aloe vera should be considered.
• Būtinai naudokite apsauginį kremą nuo saulės. Tai, kad saulė gali pagerinti odos būklę – mitas! Pavieniais atvejais taip gali būti, tačiau rezultatas yra trumpalaikis, o saulės daroma žala odai yra nepataisoma. Žalingi saulės spinduliai sukelia ne tik odos senėjimą, tačiau kartu padidina tikimybę pigmentinių dėmių atsiradimui. Saugokite savo odą. Šiltuoju metų laiku rinkitės apsauginius kremus, kurių apsauga ne mažesnė nei 50 SPF! Atminkite – žiemą taip pat būtina naudoti apsaugines priemones nuo saulės.
