Makeup base for oily skin

The main emphasis in caring for such skin should be on controlling sebum production and creating a smooth, matte surface for makeup. Let's consider the steps that will help achieve this.

Preparing problem skin before makeup

Skin cleansing
One of the first and most important steps in caring for oily skin is cleansing. Seracin Cleansing Gel is perfect for this, as it effectively removes excess sebum and impurities without drying out the skin. This is especially important for problematic skin prone to breakouts, as regularly removing impurities and oils prevents clogged pores and acne.

Care

Step 1. Toning
After cleansing, it is important to restore the skin's balance and prepare it for the next step. Using a toner not only helps remove any residue from cleansers but also tightens pores, which reduces their visibility and reduces the risk of sebum buildup throughout the day. Toners also help maintain the skin's optimal pH balance.

Step 2. Intensive Care - Moisturizing
Even oily skin needs hydration. This helps maintain moisture balance and prevent excessive sebum production. Serums are excellent for this task: they prepare the skin for the application of cream and prevent moisture loss.

Step 3. Basic care - mattifying
Seracin mattifying day cream is ideal for this step, as it not only moisturizes the skin but also controls sebum, leaving it matte without excess shine. This cream creates the perfect base for makeup, keeping the skin hydrated and fresh.

Makeup base for oily skin: what it should be

For oily skin, it is important to choose the right makeup base that will help control shine and even out texture so that your makeup looks fresh throughout the day. Let's consider the key points to pay attention to when choosing a makeup base.

Sebum control

The main task of a base for oily skin is to control sebum production. It should prevent shine, keeping your face matte all day long. Products with sebum-regulating ingredients like zinc and salicylic acid help reduce sebum production, keeping your skin looking fresh.

Even Tone

A good foundation for oily skin not only controls sebum but also evens out skin texture. Mattifying ingredients like sulfur and zinc smooth the skin, creating an ideal base for makeup and preventing shine. This is especially important for an oily T-zone.

Pore Reduction

People with oily skin often have enlarged pores that are visible under makeup. A foundation with pore-minimizing ingredients like glycolic acid helps reduce the appearance of pores, creating a smoother surface for makeup application.

The Ideal Composition

For oily skin, it's important to choose a foundation that contains active ingredients to combat imperfections. For example, salicylic acid helps unclog pores, while zinc and glycolic acid work to keep skin hydrated without creating excess shine. These ingredients not only prevent shine but also help fight breakouts.

Types of Products: Primer or Cream

Choosing a makeup base for oily skin can be tricky, as it's important to find a product that will control oiliness while helping makeup stay fresh all day. There are two main types of primers: primers and mattifying creams. Both play a vital role in creating the perfect makeup base for oily skin.

Primer
Primer is a key product for preparing the skin for makeup application. Its main function is to even out skin texture by filling pores and smoothing out imperfections. Primer is especially beneficial for oily skin, as it helps extend the wear of makeup and prevent shine throughout the day. Choose primers with mattifying and sebum-regulating ingredients, such as zinc or salicylic acid. They help control sebum production and create the perfect base for an even application of foundation.

Cream with a mattifying effect
Mattitting creams are ideal for oily skin when additional sebum control is required. An example of such a product is Seracin mattifying day cream, which helps not only moisturize the skin but also keep makeup in place, preventing oily shine. This cream contains ingredients that regulate the function of the sebaceous glands, such as zinc and sulfur, making it an excellent choice for oily and combination skin. It creates a matte base for makeup while hydrating and keeping skin healthy.

Both of these products - the primer and the mattifying cream - work to ensure that makeup looks flawless and the skin remains matte and well-groomed throughout the day.

How to Choose a Makeup Base for Large Pores

Enlarged pores can be one of the main concerns for those with oily skin. When choosing a makeup base, it is important to choose a product that will conceal pores and prevent them from clogging. It's important to consider the composition and texture of a product to avoid further breakouts. Here are some key points to consider.

Pore Minimization

Choose a base that helps visibly minimize pores and control sebum production. Zinc or glycolic acid are ideal for this, as they have pore-minimizing properties and maintain a matte finish. These ingredients help reduce the appearance of pores and prevent them from clogging, creating a more even and smooth surface.

Lightweight Textures

For skin with enlarged pores, it's recommended to avoid dense, heavy textures, as they can clog pores and create a "mask effect." Lightweight textures, such as gel or water-based bases, are better for oily skin, as they absorb quickly and create a breathable layer on the skin. These formulas won't weigh down the skin or aggravate pore problems.

Non-comedogenic Ingredients

Products for oily skin should contain non-comedogenic ingredients that help prevent acne. Look for ingredients like salicylic acid and niacinamide. Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores to unclog them, while niacinamide helps control sebum production and reduce inflammation. These ingredients work to keep pores clear and less noticeable.

By choosing the right makeup base for your enlarged pores, you can not only ensure long-lasting makeup but also visually improve your skin's texture, keeping it fresh and matte throughout the day.
