The best creams for oily and problem skin of the face from the pharmacy. Reviews

Care for oily and problem skin should be tailored to its needs. Special creams, means for washing, peels should reduce the secretion of sebum, moisturize the integument. With the right cosmetics, the pores on the face will not expand, the oily sheen and inflammation will disappear.

Causes of oily skin

It is a mistake to believe that the sebaceous sheen and inflammation on the skin are caused only by its insufficient cleansing. As a rule, the problem is associated with the work of the whole organism.

Increased secretion of the sebaceous glands may be due to:

1. Genetic predisposition. That is how the sebaceous glands respond to hormonal changes individually. 8% of people in the world have their increased sensitivity, which causes oily skin type.
2. Malnutrition. A large amount of flour, sweet, spicy, oily, leads to skin problems. Also, the abuse of carbonated drinks, instant coffee, and a disturbed diet cause severe fat content.
3. Endocrine diseases. Hormonal imbalance associated with the synthesis of sex hormones or impaired functioning of the thyroid gland is manifested by increased fat content of the integument. A prolonged stay in stressful situations leads to an increased level of adrenaline, which also affects the face.
4. Gastrointestinal diseases. Gastritis, colitis, dysbiosis lead to increased synthesis of subcutaneous fat.
5. Diseases of the liver, nervous system, pancreas.
6. Incorrect facial treatment. The use of alcohol-containing cosmetics, overdries the skin and thereby provokes increased secretion of glands. Frequent peels with large fractional scrubs injure the skin and contribute to the spread of pathogenic microflora on the face. It is better to use peeling rolls no more than 2 times a week. Too oily cream or poor-quality tonal products lead to clogging of pores, the formation of comedies, acne.

To solve problems with the skin of the face, it is necessary to choose the right cosmetics, and eliminate their “internal” causes.
