The minimum skin care program for problematic skin includes:
Cleansing.
Daily, morning and evening, cleanse the skin with fruit acids and anti-inflammatory agents. It can be a gel, mousse or milk.⠀
Lotion / tonic.
For the care of combination and oily porous skin, it is not recommended to use products containing a high percentage of alcohol. It is better to use alcohol-free tonics and lotions with beneficial acids that tighten pores, cleanse and mattify the skin, reduce porosity, normalize the sebaceous glands, and improve complexion.
Hydration.
Buy creams only those that have a light texture, contain a moisturizing complex, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, soothing and regenerating components.
Peelings.
It should be borne in mind that with purulent rashes it is absolutely impossible to use peelings with particles - they will worsen the skin condition. It is better to give preference to acid-based peels.⠀
Masks.
Do 1-2 times a week, select according to the needs of the skin. Apply with clean hands or brush (remember to wash the brush with soap and treat with chlorhexidine).
