The Skincare Duo That Keeps You Matte All Day (Yes, Even in 90°)
Tired of how sweaty and greasy your skin seems to look after just a couple of hours in the heat, let alone all day? You’re not alone. With the heat causing an increase in both oil and sweat production, it doesn’t take long before shine overwhelms the skin…and this is a problem that so many people face.
While there are plenty of skincare products out there that promise to miraculously mattify your skin and keep it looking that way, it’s rare for them to actually deliver on those claims. If you want to keep the shine at bay, you’ll need to approach the issue from a few different angles, and it’s very difficult for a single product to do that.
The solution? Add the 24K Termica Activation Serum and the 24K Termica HD Solution to your skincare routine, and you’ll finally be able to take back some control over your skin. Apply this OROGOLD duo to your skin in the morning, and you’ll be able to maintain a smooth and matte complexion until the evening, even when temperatures soar to 90° and beyond.
A Beautiful Summer Romance: The 24K Termica Activation Serum & the 24K Termica HD Solution
The OROGOLD 24K Termica Collection was created specifically for people who struggle with shiny-looking skin in the summer months. Use any of these products individually, and you’ll notice that your skin already starts to take on a more matte finish. However, combine them together, especially the 24K Termica Activation Serum and the 24K Termica HD Solution, and that’s when the magic really starts to happen!
A Closer Look at the 24K Termica Activation Serum
The 24K Termica Activation Serum is the perfect addition to a summer skincare routine. This serum, which has a gel-like consistency, immediately feels cooling and refreshing when applied to the skin, setting your skin up beautifully for the hot day ahead.
What’s in it?
Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial at all times, but especially so in hot weather. With the sun rapidly pulling moisture out of the skin, failing to adequately replenish those stores will trigger an increase in sebum production. This, combined with the extra sweat that your skin will be producing in the heat, will leave your skin looking shinier than ever. Thanks to the several hydrating compounds in this serum, however, you won’t need to worry about that. With sodium hyaluronate, collagen, peptides, seaweed extract, and more, all binding moisture to the skin, it will immediately give your face a fuller and plumper finish.
Meanwhile, there are several ingredients in this serum that will work to regulate how oily your skin feels. The catechins and tannins in green tea extract, for example, will cut back on how greasy your skin looks. Meanwhile, witch hazel extract leaves the pore openings feeling tighter, which restricts how much sebum they can release. Vitamin C is also known for having a balancing effect on the complexion.
Licorice root extract is another notable ingredient in this serum. It contains a compound called Licochalcone A, which controls how shiny the skin looks. Licorice root extract is also revered for how it lightens the look of hyperpigmentation. It evens out the skin tone in a way that will enhance your matte finish.
A Closer Look at the 24K Termica HD Solution
It’s not easy to find a summer-friendly moisturizer. Layer a cream that’s even just slightly too thick onto your skin, and not only will you end up increasing sebum production, but you’ll also be more likely to experience clogged pores and acne breakouts. With the 24K Termica HD Solution, however, this will no longer be an issue. This lightweight moisturizer was formulated to give the skin a radiant yet matte appearance.
What’s in it?
Just like the 24K Termica Activation Serum, the 24K Termica HD Solution also features plenty of hydrating ingredients. It’s always a good idea to layer moisture onto your skin, and this skincare duo makes that easy. Follow the serum up with this blend of sodium hyaluronate, coral seaweed extract, and other moisture-binding ingredients, and keeping your skin hydrated for hours will suddenly seem so much easier.
Retinol is another powerful ingredient that has been used in this cream. While many prefer to save their retinol usage for the evenings, using this antioxidant during the day can be very beneficial. Not only will it help to maintain skin hydration levels, but it will also leave your pores looking smaller and your skin feeling less oily. Yes, it can make unprotected skin more sensitive to the sun, but keeping your skin covered with SPF will keep your skin safe while also preventing the retinol from degrading once sunlight hits it.
Of course, antioxidants are key in hot weather, and this moisturizer contains a number of them. In addition to the ingredients we’ve already mentioned, it also boasts resveratrol, green tea extract, sea buckthorn extract, and a selection of other antioxidant-rich botanicals.
Adding This Skincare Duo to Your Routine
No matter how good a skincare product may be, you’re only going to be able to reap its full range of benefits if you apply it correctly.
This means starting with clean skin. Applying any products to your skin before cleansing it will only leave you with clogged pores that make your skin look discolored and shinier than usual. While we have a few cleansers available at OROGOLD, the 24K Vitamin C Facial Cleanser would likely be your best bet. Not only will it quickly sweep away dirt, excess sebum, and other impurities, but it’s also infused with several ingredients that will leave your skin feeling better balanced and less greasy in the long run.
Once your skin has been cleansed, you can then move on to applying our skincare duo. Start with the 24K Termica Activation Serum. Apply a small amount to your skin and then gently pat it in to enhance absorption. Then, while your skin is still slightly damp from the serum, apply a layer of the 24K Termica HD Solution.
Once you’re done, finish with a layer of your favorite sunscreen to keep your skin protected for the next couple of hours. Don’t forget to keep reapplying your sunscreen every two hours or so.
Other Ways to Beat the Shine in the Summer
The skincare duo that we’ve featured above will go a long way in keeping your complexion shine-free all day. However, here are a few extra tips to keep in mind:
Exfoliate Regularly
While exfoliation isn’t going to have much influence over how much oil your skin produces, it’s essential for removing excess oil, preventing that sebum from clogging pores. Without exfoliating, all of that oil will be trapped on your skin, leaving you looking greasier.
At the same time, you don’t want to go overboard with your exfoliation efforts. Over-exfoliating will trigger sebum production due to how it damages the skin barrier. Keep things gentle yet consistent by exfoliating with OROGOLD’s 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid.
Use a Clay Mask Weekly
Clay is excellent at tackling a greasy complexion. It binds itself to sebum, making it much easier for that extra oil to be removed.
The 24K Termica Collection, where our superstar skincare duo comes from, contains a clay mask: the 24K Termica Energizing Mask. It makes use of kaolin clay, known for being gentle yet very effective! It also brings together several antioxidant-rich ingredients, including vitamins A, C, and E, aloe vera, and coffee seed extract.
The 24K Advanced Facial Mask is another clay mask worth checking out. This one combines kaolin with bentonite, while also bringing in a few plant oils to ensure that the skin doesn’t end up feeling dehydrated. Those same ingredients also soothe the feeling of inflammation while providing an array of powerful antioxidants.
Don’t Expose Your Skin to Hot Water
Your skin barrier is intricately linked with sebum production. It regulates how oily your skin is by telling your sebaceous glands whether they should be producing more or less oil.
If your skin barrier is compromised in any way, sebum production usually increases. This is your skin’s attempt to compensate for the gaps in its barrier. If you want to keep that shine under control, it’s vital that you keep your skin barrier healthy.
While there’s so much out there that damages the skin barrier, hot water is a big culprit. If you use hot water while cleansing your face or showering, you’re only going to be adding to how shiny your skin looks. Turn the temperature down to lukewarm, and you should start to notice that your skin naturally looks more matte.
Keep Your Belongings Clean
Think about how many times a day you touch your phone, along with how many other surfaces your phone touches. Not only does that phone end up cluttered with bacteria from all of those surfaces, but the oils from your skin transfer over to it, too. The next time you press that phone against your face, the oil and bacteria move on over, leaving your skin looking shiny and your pores feeling clogged.
To prevent this from happening, keep any belongings of yours that touch your face as clean as possible. In addition to your phone, pay attention to things like your pillowcases and sunglasses. The more often you use an item, the more often you should clean it.
Turn to OROGOLD for a Matte Complexion All Summer Long
When it comes to dealing with shiny skin, especially in the summer, it can take a while to stumble upon the perfect combination of products. There’s a huge element of trial and error to it, which can be frustrating and expensive! To get around this, we created the 24K Termica Collection. Each product is designed to mattify the complexion, both immediately and in the long term. Whether you opt for the whole set or treat yourself to the summer-loving duo that is the 24K Termica Activation Serum and the 24K Termica HD Solution, your skin will soon be thanking you!
