Among the wide variety of cosmetics for washing and removing make-up, oils favorably differ in their natural composition. But many women, especially owners of oily skin, have many questions about their use. Let's try to figure it out.
Features
Most skin cleansers work aggressively, which provokes even greater secretion of sebum (with oily skin type) or overdrying of an already sensitive dermis. therefore for the proper care of the epidermis, it is necessary to use products with a non-aggressive effect that cleanse perfectly, but do not make it too dry. Thus, the fat balance of the dermis is restored over time, and many problems disappear. Washing and make-up remover with oil can be attributed to similar care options.
When applied to the skin, the oil comes into contact with sebum and impurities, and then with them is easily removed from the surface of the dermis. In addition, the remnants of makeup products are dissolved, which are removed together with the oil. Oil cleansing, in addition to cleansing, additionally protects the skin without violating the water-lipid barrier.
Plus, the dermis also gets good hydration, which is necessary for any type of skin. This cleansing option is suitable for all types of skin, if only natural oil, without additives.
When choosing such products, you should carefully read the composition, since a variety of oils are on sale, for example, Korean hydrophilic oils, which contain polysorbates or other unnatural components in their composition.
