Essential kit for clean and fresh skin

Description

Created especially for oily skin, the kit is an essential kit for clean and fresh skin. The trio consists of a cleanser, an exfoliating lotion and a moisturising gel. The set contains: Liquid Facial Soap for Oily Skin (50ml) The first step in the skincare routine. The cleansing formula is perfect for combination or oily skin, as it contains all the benefits of face wash but in liquid form. The face wash gently cleanses the skin without stripping essential moisture and protective lipids, removing dirt and impurities and prepares the skin for the next step in the skincare regime. Clarifying Lotion 4 (100ml). The second step in the skin care routine. Developed by Clinique dermatologists, the gentle exfoliating lotion removes dead skin cells, removes flakiness and smoothes skin to reveal a clearer complexion. The lotion refreshes the skin and prepares it for the application of moisturiser and make-up, making it glide on easily and last longer. Moisturising Gel (30ml). The third step in the skincare routine. The oil-free moisturiser provides a veil of intense hydration while strengthening the natural barrier, locking in essential moisture throughout the day. After using the product, the skin will appear soft, hydrated and radiant with a healthy glow. Skin will look younger for longer.

Pharmaceutical Advice

Oily skin is characterised by excessive sebum production by the sebaceous glands, which are located close to the hair follicle and are responsible for producing this substance that provides the skin with protective lipids. Oily skin also may show an accelerated proliferation of keratinocytes, cells that contain keratin.

This abnormal growth leads to the hardening of the outer layer of the skin and a thickened skin appearance. If the pores become clogged, lesions in the form of blackheads, pimples or microcomedones will appear. This can lead to other skin conditions such as acne. But why does this imbalance occur and what can we do about it? It can happen due to hormonal variations, the action of external agents, the use of unsuitable cosmetics or a genetic condition.

Whatever the case, this type of skin can be sensitive when it becomes unbalanced and requires specific cosmetic products with sebum-regulating and antiseptic ingredients to prevent the overgrowth of microorganisms that can worsen the condition. Ingredients that are also antioxidants, such as niacinamide, provide an anti-inflammatory effect. Ultra-light, fast-absorbing or mattifying textures are good options for this skin type.

Sunscreen is also essential and even more so for oily skin. The effects of the sun can cause greater skin dehydration and a rebound pro-oxidant effect, which will stimulate the activity of the sebaceous glands and, consequently, cause more obstructions. In case you are following a specific medical treatment for acne, the importance of sunscreen increases.
