Say no to shiny skin:6 easy solutions


When you have combination or oily skin, you often have shiny skin. Nothing dramatic in itself, but shiny skin can quickly cause aesthetic discomfort. So how not to have skin that shines? How to react when the skin is shiny? Veld's offers you solutions that are easy and quick to implement!

Stop shiny skin with face masks

Your weapon of choice when your skin goes into disco ball mode? The face mask! The mask is a treatment to be applied to the skin after cleansing it. It acts in depth and immediately on the skin tissue. If you can find it for dry or sensitive skin, or also find it for combination to oily skin.

Look for active ingredients like green clay, rhassoul, or vegetable charcoal. To mattify your shiny skin, apply your mask once or twice a week , preferably in the evening. Remember to moisturize the skin afterwards, so that it can regenerate.

Bet on anti-shiny skin active ingredients

For quick results on your glowing skin , we advise you to go all out on the mattifying active ingredients. In your day cream, night cream, facial cleanser or serum, give pride of place to active ingredients specific to combination to oily skin .

We are thinking in particular of Condurango, renowned for cleansing oily skin with imperfections, but also of Cecropia Obtusa which perfectly regulates sebum production. Active ingredients that you can find in our Pure Pulp Neo gel, and in our Eye Magic concealer and anti-puffiness.

Opt for a mattifying and water-rich cream

With shiny skin , we would tend to think that it is necessary to limit hydration. It's wrong ! It is necessary to moisturize the skin every day, but simply favor products rich in water, and low in lipids (it is the latter which give a greasy finish... and make the skin even more shiny).

So turn to so-called "light" formulas that will provide the skin with all the water it needs, without greasing it. Of course, to fight against shine throughout the day, choose a mattifying cream , with active ingredients that regulate sebum production. This type of cream will help you keep your makeup in place all day!

Quick retouching thanks to mattifying papers

When you leave in the morning, your skin looks very fresh, very clean, and starts to shine during the day, even downright, to shine? Don't worry, you're not the only one to have experienced this! To make a quick and easy touch-up , matting papers are ideal.

These are small papers that can be found in stores specializing in beauty or make-up. Just slip them into your bag, pat them on your face when you go for a makeover, and they absorb excess oil . A trick that allows the skin to breathe better, rather than covering it with tons of mattifying powder!

Makeup with a light and breathable texture

Makeup, let's talk about it! You have to choose your makeup carefully, if your skin is combination to oily. Avoid at all costs greasy and thick textures, which will make the skin shiny from the start of the day. Choose lightweight materials , which do not create a thick layer on the skin.

You can, for example, opt for a BB cream or a liquid foundation with low coverage. A veil of powder on the T-zone is ideal for further matifying the skin, but be careful not to overdo it! Three touch-ups maximum during the day, to prevent the “plastered” effect.

Limit fatty foods to prevent shiny skin

If you are a loyal reader of Veld's articles, you know that you are regularly talked about food. Why ? Because it has a considerable impact on the beauty of the skin. Indeed, excesses can quickly do damage to the skin.
When you eat too rich (read too fat or too sweet), this changes the production of sebum, and the skin produces more. The skin shines even more than usual, and imperfections appear. Avoid very fatty and very sweet dishes and snacks, and try to adopt the most balanced diet possible. If your body has all the water and all the nutrients it needs, your skin will appear fresher and brighter naturally!
