Yes, it is possible to limit or even eliminate shiny areas on combination to oily skin. Regulating sebum secretion, tightening pores , evening out the complexion : these are the missions of mattifying cream . Our advice for adopting the right beauty habits and getting rid of shine.

Why is my skin shiny?

Combination to oily skin produces more sebum than it should. Sebum is a natural fatty lipid film designed to protect the skin, but when it is produced in excess, it becomes visible, the skin becomes shiny and the pores are clogged, promoting blemishes .

What is a mattifying cream?

Mattifying cream is a specific facial treatment for combination to oily skin that helps regulate sebum production and limit unsightly shine. Its composition and light texture are adapted to the needs of oily skin that still needs hydration. Its generally absorbent and sebum-regulating active ingredients help to mattify the complexion, tighten dilated pores and refine skin texture.

How do I use my mattifying cream?

Before applying any day or night cream, it is essential to cleanse your skin. Use a gentle makeup remover and finish cleansing with a treatment water or tonic treatment adapted to the needs of your skin. Apply your mattifying cream to clean skin, preferably in the morning, all over your face. Depending on your skin's needs and to avoid drying out, you can use the mattifying cream occasionally. The mattifying cream turns out to be an excellent makeup base, combined with the application of a mattifying powder.

Mistakes to avoid

If your skin has imperfections such as blackheads or pimples, you might be tempted to use aggressive scrubs or, worse, remove them by hand! When the skin is attacked, especially with stripping treatments, it overreacts and produces even more sebum. To take care of your skin and prolong the effectiveness of your mattifying treatment, use a gentle exfoliant and a purifying mask adapted to your skin type once a week.
