Today our readers from Kaliningrad Natalia VORINA share their recipes for oily skin care.

How I regret that I was not born somewhere in Monaco or Italy, where oily skin is considered a luxury and associated with beauty.

My skin always shone, delivering indescribable torments to me. And the first sunny spring rays caused such skin problems as pimples and inflammations. Ten long years I suffered, ran to cosmetologists, "grabbed" for different advice. And, finally, I realized that it is not difficult to maintain a fat skin in a decent state, if you do this daily.

Oily skin has three major aesthetic defects: glistening, has a coarse porous structure and a pale appearance, that is, an erased, earthy color. With all these problems cope with the mask. Each of the proposed masks should be done once a week.

Gelatine moisturizing mask removes shine, the effect lasts 2-3 days. Pour a teaspoon of gelatin with water and leave for half an hour. Add 50 grams of glycerin and melted honey and 1 gram of salicylic acid, dissolved in a teaspoon of boiling water. Mix the resulting mixture whisk, cool and apply on face for 15 minutes. Remove the mask with warm water.

Yeast and protein tightening masks make the pores less visible. Half a pack of ordinary yeast, one yolk, a few drops of lemon juice, yogurt or kefir. The protein mask has the same effect, but it does not cost more than once a month. Beat up to a thick foam of a single egg's egg and add a few drops of lemon. Apply on face for 7 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Nourishing mask of vegetables and fruits replaces unhealthy pallor on a delicate peach color. Excellent mask - from the gruel of fresh pear. Tannins of a pear beautifully narrow pores, bleach, moisturize and cleanse the face. Pear is replaced by a tomato, grated carrot and red currant. In juicy fruits and vegetables, it is good to add talc or starch. These masks can be kept longer - about 20 minutes.

As for masks, their composition can be changed, adding the liked ingredients, not forgetting that:.

For oily skin are irreplaceable lemon juice or sour-milk products;.

Masks for oily skin should be thick, as with hardening they must absorb fat.

Oily skin quickly absorbs dust. Therefore irresistible desire to wash more often. Tap water, it seems to me, further provokes the fatness of the skin. And hot and warm water also contributes to salo. So I stopped washing with tap water. Boiled water for washing "I acidify", adding apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. I store such acidic water in a bottle of dark glass in the bathroom.

In spring, solely help to degrease the skin daily reusable washing lotion from aloe. This procedure also protects the skin from the appearance of acne. A large cut sheet of aloe should be packed in two cellophane bags and put in a refrigerator for 10 days. Then grind the sheet, squeeze out the juice from it. To 100 grams of juice add 50 grams of boiled water and 10 grams of alcohol.

This lotion can be alternated with cucumber: slice cucumber, put it in a bottle, pour vodka or diluted alcohol. Put for two weeks in a warm, better sunny place.

Perfectly copes with inflammation and acne of garlic. Freshly cut the garlic for a few seconds gently massage the area of ??inflammation. It is important not to overdo it - to finish the rub at the first appearance of tingling, so as not to get a skin burn. After that, it's good to rub your face with ice from a sequential broth or celandine.

I noticed that harmless for oily skin, medical powder or baby powder, which added a little toned powder. Powder will last longer and do not roll off if you apply a thin paper towel before applying.

In the evening I remove the powder with a cotton swab dipped in kefir or yogurt, and only then I rub the face with lotion.

On oily skin, the results of efforts are not immediately visible - at least a month later. Such a long and inconclusive withdrawal earlier I could not stand, therefore I did not believe in the help of home remedies. But the effect lasts for a long time - grateful for attention and patience oily skin ceases to shine, acne disappears without a trace, pores contract.
