Many dermatologists advise owners of oily, porous skin, prone to inflammation, rosacea and other imperfections, do not use to even out the tone of the face liquid products, but crumbly, as they reduce the possibility of spreading bacteria and clogging the sebaceous ducts.

But even for those girls who use a tonal foundation, powder for problematic skin will be useful. It makes makeup more resistant and mattifies the face, and this is really necessary if sebaceous glands are too active.

What to pay attention to?

Let's talk about powder in more detail. There are different types of it, differing in shape and texture:

• cream powder;
• pressed;
• crumbly.

Products with a creamy texture, pleasant to the touch, are well distributed over the skin. But, unfortunately, they are not suitable for problematic dermis. Firstly, they contain oils that just provide this pleasant glide of the product on the face. Secondly, in the presence of acne, enlarged pores and oily sheen, such a powder will emphasize the relief, clog the pores, and also completely disappear from the face by the middle of the day.

Pressed powders are a dry product, tightly compacted and placed in a compact package. It is convenient to use such a tool to correct makeup during the day, but as an independent product it will not be so practical. Pressed powder is often hard to pick up on the brush and has a medium grind. It can be used to fix makeup, but not as a substitute for foundation.

Loose powder is a fine powder placed in a jar, which is well collected, distributed over the skin with a weightless veil, smoothes pores without clogging them, evens out the tone of the face. This form is best for regular use. But she has one big drawback. The packaging does not allow you to carry the product with you in your purse. You can accidentally scatter the product and stain everything around.

The right powder for problematic dermis has a fine grinding, does not contain oil, talc, pronounced fragrances

When choosing a particular powder, be sure to carefully study the packaging. It should be marked "non-comedogenic", the composition should not contain oils and talc. But kaolin, in turn, on the contrary, is useful, as it is able to actively absorb sebum. These rules apply not only to powder, but also to other means.

Not so long ago everyone was talking about mineral cosmetics, which, according to others, has an amazing effect on the skin.

She has natural composition, which contains a large number of valuable trace elements. Among them there is zinc - a component that is necessary for oily problematic dermis.

It cleanses the face, reduces the number of acne, prevents their further spread.

In addition, it fits equally well on dry and oily dermis. It turns out that this option is ideal. But this cosmetics is worth it, especially High Quality, quite expensive.

Application rules

It would seem that it could be easier than applying powder on the face. But even here there are certain nuances.

The product is never distributed over completely bare skin. Even if it is not planned to use foundation, at least a moisturizer should still be present on the face. It will provide a more even coverage and no discomfort tightness.

If the powder is compact (pressed), then it can be applied in two ways: with a sponge and a brush. The first gives a denser, but also noticeable coverage. The brush should be chosen large, fluffy, made of natural or artificial pile. The product is distributed over the skin of the face in the direction from top to bottom.

Loose powders are applied exclusively with a brush. After the product has been collected, be sure to shake off the residue so that the product is easy on the skin without spots, evenly.

Important: if you have problem skin, then the brush and powder sponge must be thoroughly rinsed after each use. You can use simple soap, shower gel, express brush cleaners, which include alcohol, which kills all bacteria.

With the help of makeup, you can not only emphasize your advantages, but also hide visible flaws. Although owners of problem skin sometimes have a hard time, because cosmetics do not fit well on enlarged pores and acne. Here, mineral face powder comes into play - its composition, properties and recommendations in our article.

What is it and what are its benefits

Than mineral foundation powder for the face is different from the usual? First, composition. In such decorative cosmetics there are special components that not only do not clog pores, but help to cleanse them. These are triple-ground minerals (clay and others), zinc oxide, often there are also various extracts of silk, gold and other materials that are smooth.

Why you need mineral powder for problem skin:

• it does not clog pores;

• this is one of the best means For oily skin if you need to quickly align its color;
• powder with minerals perfectly mattifies imperfections, hides small pimples and blackheads.

In order for really high-quality products to be born, manufacturers use unique technologies that are kept in the strictest confidence. It has become known that most mineralized powders, which are characterized by a brightening effect, contain marble particles. They are literally ground to a microscopic size and treated with special substances that prevent stone contamination of pores. It is because of this process that the cost of such foundations is often above average.

From an economic point of view, the mineral loose powder- it's not the best available remedy, take at least Mary Kay ( mary-kay), divage velvet, Loreal, Max Factor or Yves Rocher. Agree, these are far from the cheapest brands of decorative cosmetics, although they consist of natural materials. But such a high price is a guarantee that there will be no surprises in the composition.

By the way, what should not be in the powder:

• talc (in modern production only funds without talc are allowed to be sold);
• titanium dioxide, this is the most hazardous component, which unfortunately is often present in such cosmetics like mineral or regular loose powder with reflective particles(in particular, pupa (navel), artdeco (artdeco), bourgeois, lumen, avon (avon) and oriflame (oriflame)), dry tonals and cheap blush. This chemical element is addictive to the skin;
• bismuth oxide is often found in brightening products, it is also addictive and can most often be found in isadora (isadora), alliance perfect or jane iredale mineral loose face powder.
