A common condition affecting oily skin is acne vulgaris. Enlarged pores, blackheads (commonly called comedones), papules, pustules and inflammatory infiltrates are visible on the skin. Acne vulgaris occurs primarily in people going through puberty, but it also occurs in people over 30. Recently, the term “late-onset acne” has even appeared. The problem affects women in their 40s. Symptoms worsen particularly during the third phase of the menstrual cycle and when thyroid and pituitary diseases coexist.

The client’s skin is combination skin with a tendency to become oily. To keep the face looking natural and shine-free, apply a mattifying cream after thorough makeup removal. It will mattify oily areas and moisturize dry ones. For enlarged pores, a silicone makeup primer is effective, making pores and minor unevenness disappear and leaving the face satin-smooth.

To thicken the eyelashes and bring out the beauty of the eyes, we attach lash clusters—three or four of the appropriate length—to the skin at the lash roots. They last for one day and come off during eye makeup removal. They create a wonderful effect for makeup intended for a special occasion.

After assessing the skin and consulting a dermatologist, a cosmetician may recommend anti-acne treatments. Patience and consistency are essential for successful treatment. Anti-acne treatments use preparations that are easily absorbed by the skin, which have complementary and regenerating effects, inhibit the growth of bacteria, treat inflammation, and protect the skin.

After a series of treatments carried out in the salon, an improvement in the appearance of the skin is achieved. The secretion of the sebaceous glands is stabilised, while skin irritation and inflammation are alleviated. These treatments are intended to renew the skin, reconstruct deficiencies and restore the proper pH. They improve blood circulation and oxygenation, maintain the skin’s proper elasticity and moisture, and cleanse the skin.

Below are recommendations on what to eat to have beautiful skin.

  • Onion – contains selenium and quercetin, which prevent the action of free radicals and slow the formation of wrinkles.
  • Blueberries – strengthen capillaries, prevent them from rupturing and prevent varicose veins from forming on the legs.
  • Soy – contains unsaturated fatty acids, zinc and phytoestrogens, which alleviate inflammation and have antioxidant properties.
  • Carrot – contains a lot of beta-carotene, which protects the skin from aging and stimulates melanin production. The selenium contained in carrots shields skin cells from harmful radiation and environmental pollutants.
  • Red pepper – rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, it protects collagen and capillaries and nourishes the skin.
  • Beef liver – contains vitamin A, which supports skin regeneration. The B vitamins and selenium it contains prevent skin inflammation and accelerate epidermal renewal.
  • Fish and seafood – contain a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, helping to smooth and increase the elasticity of the skin.

Bon appétit, and we wish you beautiful, healthy skin.
