Balancing oily skin is one of those tough beauty tasks. You want your skin moisturized to prevent premature wrinkles and keep it smooth and hydrated, but if you over moisturize skin will be feed up and unable to soak up any foundation (not to mention super shiny). In the last couple of years we all heard the story of ''moisturizing more so your skin will produce less oil''. I've been trying this for four years until I decided enough is enough.
Moisturizing more didn't ''reprograme'' my skin and make it non oily. Oily skin is simply the result of your genes, excluding the cases in which it's caused by extreme dehydration, but those are rare. When I had my makeup done at Inglot before New Year's my skin was unable to soak up any foundation. I didn't notice this before because I rarely wear liquid foundations.That's when I finally realized overly moisturized skin is not the answer. So I tried some new products, started moisturizing less and now I have quite a nice routine that makes my skin smoother and less oily.
Murad Oil-control mattifier
My all time favourite moisturizer and one that stayed with me after all of my beauty cabinet cleanses. It is THE best daily moisturizer for oily skin. This moisturizer mattifies like magic and leaves your skin super smooth and ready for makeup. Although you can wear it without makeup as well.
Alpha H Liquid Gold
In the past I tried some other glycolic acid treatments, but I always go back to Alpha H. If you ever researched skincare ingredients for oily and acne prone skin, you know that glycolic acid is perfect for both. It helps in reducing excess oil, but it also exfoliates and unclogs pores. Like I said, Alpha H Liquid gold is one of the best glycolic acid treatments I've used.
Avene Clenance Cleansing gel
This is the first time I'm using a soap free cleanser that is specifically targeting oily skin. I've used some seriously stripping oily skin cleansers in the past and this one is definitely not like those. It cleanses well and I feel like it really mattifies my skin a lot! Now I can go out even without mattifying moisturizer and my skin will look matte. It's maybe not the best idea to skip moisturizer, but it's nice to know I can. :D
Bioderma Sebium Serum
Another great product with glycolic acid and a specially designed patent that improves sebum quality (so goodbye clogged pores and thick sebum). I did really notice my skin is much less shiny during the day after I apply it at night. I didn't notice any long term results, but I probably need to use it longer to see them.
L'Oreal Pure Clay Glow mask
Literally any clay mask will work, there's no better ingredient for oily skin than clay. Lately I've been using this mask and I like it a lot. It doesn't completely dry the skin out, like some other clay masks. And I can see my complexion is a more radiant when I wash it off.
Balansiranje maske kože je jedan od težih poduhvata što se nege tiče. Želite da vam koža bude hidrirana da biste sprečili preran nastanak bora i da bi bila glatka i nahranjena, ali ako je previše hidrirate koža će biti zasićena i neće moći da upije puder (a pored toga i presjajna). Tokom poslednjih nekoliko godina svi smo čuli onu priču o tome da treba više hidrirati kožu da bi ona proizvodila manje sebuma. Ovo sam isprobavala oko četiri godine dok mi nije dojadilo.
Hidriranje nije ''reprogramiralo'' moju kožu i učinilo je normalnom. Jednostavno, masna koža je stvar genetike, osim u slučajevima kada je izazvana ekstremnom dehidracijom kože, ali to su već retki slučajevi. Kada sam otišla na šminkanje u Inglotu, malo pre Nove godine, koža nije mogla ni da mi upije puder kako treba! Ranije to nisam primetila jer jako retko nosim tečni puder. Tada sam konačno shvatila da previše hidriranja nije odgovor. Nekako sam spontano odlučila da probam nove proizvode, manje hidriram kožu i sada imam prillično dobru rutinu za negu sa kojom mi je koža glatka i manje se masti.
Murad Oil-control mattifier
Moja omiljena dnevna krema koja je ostala posle mnogobrojnih rundi izbacivanja određenih proizvoda. Ako mene pitate, najbolja dnevna krema za masnu kožu. Matira kao magijom i ostavlja kožu jako glatkom i spremnom za šminkanje. Mada možete slobodno da je nosite i bez šminke.
Alpha H Liquid Gold
U prošlosti sam probala i neke druge proizvode sa glikolnom kiselinom, ali uvek se vraćam Alpha H-u. Ko god da je istraživao sastojke pogodne za masnu i kožu sklonu aknama, zna da je glikolna kiselina savršena za njihovu negu. Pomaže u sprečavanju suvišnog sebuma, ali takođe vrši blagi piling i otpušava pore. Kao što sam rekla, Alpha H Liquid Gold je jedan od najboljih tretmana sa glikolnom kiselinom koji sam koristila.
Avene Clenance Cleansing gel
Ovo je prvi put da koristim gel za čišćenje bez sapuna posebno namenjen masnoj koši. Koristila sam neke jako agresivne čistače za masnu kožu ranije i ovaj definitivno nije od tih. Jako dobro čisti i zasita imam utisak da mi odlično matira lice! Sada mogu da izađem napolje i bez matirajuće kreme a da mi koža bude mat. Možda nije najbolja ideja da se preskače krema za lice, ali lepo je znati da mogu ako želim. :D
Bioderma Sebium Serum
Još jedan sjajan proizvod sa glikolnom kiselinom i posebno dizajniranim patentom koji popravlja kvalitet sebuma (što znači nema više zapušenih pora i gustog sebuma). Stvarno jesam primetila da mi je koža mnogo manje sjajna u toku dana ako noću koristim ovaj serum. Nisam primetila neke dugoročnije rezultate, ali verovatno moram još da ga koristim da bih ih videla.
L'Oreal Pure Clay Glow mask
Bukvalno bilo koja maska sa glinom je odlična, ne postoji bolji sastojak za masnu kožu od gline. U poslednje vreme koristim ovu masku i dosta mi se sviđa. Ne isuši vam lice potpuno, kao što neke maske sa glinom umeju. I mogu da vidim da mi je lice blistavije kada je skinem.

ReplyDeleteMislim da hoće, stvarno je odličan. :) Nisam probala LRP pa ne mogu da ih uporedim, ali ovaj svakako neće razočarati. :)
