How to finish with the shining face?

the shining nose, the shining forehead and the shining chin? We prefer to warn you, it happens to everyone, and no one has ever been able to permanently eradicate the face that shines. At Fork & Bikini, however, there are plenty of tips to fight, prevent and matify the skin as much as possible!

Why does the skin shine?
Rather than accusing her of all evils, it would be better to understand what she is trying to tell us. A shining skin is none other than a skin that expresses itself, and that produces either fat or water: sebum in the first case, perspiration in the second. Sebum is the natural defense reaction of the skin.

Excessive production may be due to dry, unbalanced, damaged or simply overfed skin. As for perspiration, it is essential at the first stroke of heat, whether it is due to temperature, fear or emotion. We let you imagine what gives a skin attacked during a heat wave, when the perspiration mixes with sebum.

We cleans up scrupulously
Dirty skin = shiny skin. As advocated by our mothers and grandmothers, we remain faithful to the sacrosanct rule of daily make-up removal. Every night, makeup or not (outdoor pollution is often used as makeup), one removes delicately, without scrubbing, with an oil, a cleansing milk or a micellar water. Then we go to cleaning, then to hydration.

We clean the skin regularly
Do you repeat the principle of dirty pores? They produce sebum. Result, the shining face! And if there is no question of cleaning the face with a sponge, daily cleaning is necessary, scrupulously adapted to each type of skin: morning and evening in all cases, with micellar water with a mild pH for sensitive skin, cleansing lotion for normal skin, special oily skin for these. In any case, never clean with alcohol!

To clean, we use a choice of a konjac sponge, a microfiber cloth, a cleansing cotton or just the hands ... not the washcloth, too aggressive. It is massed in concentric circles, rinsed with warm water and dried by dabbing, without rubbing.

We moisturize properly
From the outside and inside, please! A skin that does not shine is a balanced skin, and therefore properly hydrated. A cream too fat or not enough, to us the effect ball facets! In case of doubt, we do not hesitate to be advised by his or her dermato to know his skin type.

We choose a moisturizer accordingly, and it is applied morning and evening, after each cleansing. For sensitive skin or exposed to particular aggression such as pollution or cold, we consider a relipidante cream, which reconstitutes the protective filter of the skin. And we drink water all day long to deeply hydrate!

We choose the right products
There are mattifying bases, mattifying lotions, mattifying powders, and so on. The good combo? A lotion to apply in the evening, after cleansing and before hydration, able to soothe and matify the skin; a matifying base to put under the makeup in the morning, to prevent him from escaping at the first shine; and a mattifying mineral powder, to apply in light veil on the T zone, at the end of makeup or in case of emergency. Beware of the foundation, however, which clogs the pores and usually aggravates the problem!

In plan B, keep in the purse a small reserve of matifying papers: these little magic leaves act like a blotting paper on glossy faces, absorb excess sebum and matify the skin in two steps, three movements.

We flee the aggressions
Makeup is not the only one to want to hurt our skin, far from it. In the family of enemies of the epidermis include alcohol or tobacco, fatty foods and sugary. Even topo for alcohol-based face care or basic soaps, too calcareous waters or air conditioning and heating: to avoid the shining skin, we boycotts!
