At high fat content faces are very useful professional beauty treatments. However, no less effective are home and folk remedies. You can make them yourself quickly and inexpensively.

How to reduce facial fat.

How to reduce oily skin

For increased activity of the sebaceous glands on the face, try using one of the following remedies:

• with oily face, a steam bath is very effective with medicinal herbs. After it, wipe your face with a cool decoction. Carry out this procedure three times a month;
• for washing, use pieces of ice, which are prepared from a decoction of herbs. Chamomile, St. John's wort or calendula will help you. This procedure will also narrow the pores and remove inflammation;
• effective against oiliness rubbing the face with apple cider vinegar. To do this, dilute it with water in equal proportions, and after 15 minutes. rinse with cool water;
• the face can be wiped with a slice of lemon, which also dries the skin;
• in the morning you can wash your face with cool mineral water.

Such rubbing and washing affect the skin in a complex way. They remove shine, narrow pores, even out complexion.

How to reduce oily face with face masks

If you have half an hour of free time left, make yourself a healing face mask:

• masks based on blue or white clay have a remarkable effect and mineral water. The mask is kept for 20 minutes. Natural ingredients gently adsorb excess fat;
• on the greasy skin of the face, you can put a mask of mashed banana. After a quarter of an hour, you need to wash it off with cool water;
• egg white whipped with a few drops of lemon also helps fight oily faces. Add 3 tbsp. l. oatmeal to make the mask easier to apply on the face.

It is enough to do such masks twice a week to notice a positive result.

Drink more clean throughout the day drinking water and reduce your intake of coffee and alcohol. The latter also cause increased production of sebum. Fatty, fried, smoked and sweet foods have a similar effect. Decoctions of herbs that can be drunk daily at bedtime also have a therapeutic effect. Brew mint, blackcurrant, chamomile leaves. For a glass of boiling water, it is enough to take 1 tbsp. l. herbs.

Oily skin causes a lot of problems: enlarged pores, blockages, unnecessary shine and often peeling - after all, the skin renews itself faster and tries to build up a new stratum corneum. Of course, this is not at all what we want. We want soft skin without pronounced pores, smooth and matte. And sometimes we resort to the so-called "express methods": hard matting, avoiding oily textures and almost no makeup, except for matting powders. Yes, it helps in the short term, and we even think that we are winning, but everything returns to normal again and sometimes even worse.

Because it doesn't really work!

But other products and procedures work, which at first glance seem paradoxical. Yes, pacifying oily skin will require time and patience from you, but the result will be long-lasting and guaranteed.

What do oily-skinned people need to reduce this very production of sebum, unclog pores, and keep skin soft and hydrated? Get ready to be surprised.

BB cream
Yes, you need a standard bb cream that will hydrate and heal your skin well. She will be protected, and believe me, she will not suffer and choke at all, as in a sauna. By retaining moisture, you give the skin a signal - there is protection, and there is much less need to produce your own fat.

Hydrophilic oil
Cleansing is one of the most important precepts for beautiful skin. Remember, "like cures like". In our case, fatty bb, a layer of dirt, dead skin particles, sebum dissolves perfectly
classic liquid hydrophilic oil, applied to a dry face. Or hard hydrophilic sherbet.

The main trick is that you very carefully and slowly apply it on your face and massage every part of your face with effort. Take your time to rinse off - leave it on the skin and massage the most problematic areas a little more (where you have the most clogged pores). The oil dissolves both sebaceous plugs and everything that has accumulated excess on your skin. It does this gradually and slowly.

Facial cosmetic oil

Determine where you have the most oily skin. Is it a T-zone? Or nose-chin? Apply a small amount of cosmetic oil there. No, not a fat-based cream, but just a drop of oil. It also tricks the skin into producing less of its own fat.

Gentle manual cleansing
Once a week, clean the pores with special discs. Surely you have all seen these wonderful videos with Ciracle discs - which soften the contents of the pores and literally pull it out. I hasten to please - this is the complete truth. Not a single mask-film, not a single clay mask can repeat this. On days of such cleansing, I advise you not to resort to cosmetic oil, but to arrange "fat-free therapy". You have cleansed your skin by hand, and then you can use a sheet mask based on moisturizing serum and a light gel or emulsion.

BHA acids
Include BHA products in your daily skin care routine. Let it be one product per day - either CosRX Natural BHA Skin Returning A-Sol toner, or Scinic Feel So Good Peeling Pad (BHA) peeling disc. All together is not necessary - it dries out.

Rolls and scrubs
Fat-skinned people urgently need to abandon scrubs. Scrubs for you are an evil that provokes even more fat content. Replace with peeling rolls and peeling discs.

Skin hydration
Constant, high-quality and consistent hydration is a guarantee that the skin will be less oily. But you also need to moisturize wisely: in this case, you should give up fat-based creams, thick,
saturated, and replace them with an arsenal of easy products: alcohol-free toner, "water" masks, facial emulsions and gels, as well as mists for use during the day. It is also worth giving up nightly cream masks that will interfere with normal skin renewal in your case.

Mattifying powders
No matter how shiny your skin is during the day, do not powder it - by doing this you draw moisture from the epidermis and at the same time clog pores (which are enlarged). To remove shine, use blotting papers, they do not
cause harm and apply a mist over makeup.

I’ll tell you about my own experience: when I first started using Korean cosmetics, it was this method that helped me get rid of not only peeling and oiliness, but even inflammation. I won’t say that it happened quickly - at least six months of regular care have passed,
to relieve the symptoms and the most obvious signs, and a year later I could already boast of completely normal skin.
Yes, my pores are still with me and they are wide, but narrowing them at any cost means harming the health of the entire skin. So good luck and be patient!

How to lose weight without harming the body, and with a guaranteed effect?

The low fat diet is by far the most effective and most easily tolerated weight management program.

She also has another advantage. A low-fat diet is not only easy to tolerate, but also easy to follow.

The list of fatty foods is not that long. There are many more products with a low fat content (see table)

And do not forbid yourself products from the "fat" list. There are many approaches that allow us to keep all these goodies in our diet and at the same time quite significantly reduce the fat content of the diet, and, as a result, lose weight.

These are the approaches:

How to lose weight: 1. Statistical approach

The easiest way to lose weight is to eat less fat, that is, eat more lean!

The fat content of the diet will be significantly lower if you eat more bread, pasta and cereals. These foods, due to their high satiety, very quickly cause satiety, and we reflexively reduce the consumption of other foods, including fatty ones. There are direct studies showing that complex carbohydrates protect us from weight gain, promote weight loss. Vegetables have the same effect. The more vegetables in the diet, the lower the fat content of the diet.

This also includes the desire to eat more fish and dairy products. With an increase in their share in human nutrition naturally reduces the consumption of meat, and hence fat. After all, meat on average contains more fat than milk or fish. Great opportunity to lose weight!

A gain in the form of a reduction in fat content can be obtained if more often you use soups without the so-called frying - onions and carrots overcooked in vegetable oil, as well as if there are dairy and vegetable soups more often than meat.

With an increase in boiled and stewed foods in food, we will observe a decrease in the proportion of fried foods, and, accordingly, the oils that we use in frying.

By the way, statistical methods are well perceived by those who lose weight, because instead of the usual “you can’t do this!”, Or “you should eat it as little as possible!”, On the contrary, they recommend eating more of this or that food.

How to lose weight: 2. Analog approach

We use less fatty products in a number of similar ones.

For example, cottage cheese can be fat and 0, and 5, and 7, and even 18%. It is clear that by using low-fat cottage cheese instead of full-fat cottage cheese, we avoid a fat load of 18-20 g per serving.

Standard mayonnaise has a fat content of about 72 - 80%, but there are also light varieties, the fat content of which is 25-30%. The use of such mayonnaise instead of the traditional one allows you to reduce the fat content of each serving of salad by an average of 5-6 g

How to choose dumplings if you want to lose weight? Dumplings with the addition of lard have a fat content of 35-40 g per serving. Poultry meat dumplings have a fat content of about 5-7 g. The gain is about 30 g of "not eaten" fat per serving.

Milk. Its fat content can also vary from 0.05% to 6%. Accordingly, a glass of milk can contain both 0.1 and 12 g of fat. It is clear that the first is much better for us than the second. This fully applies to fermented milk products - yogurt, curdled milk, and so on.

It is somewhat more difficult to find a replacement for cheeses and sour cream. But even here you can find something. For example, instead of sour cream, the so-called "sour cream" is ideal, which we actively recommend to our patients - soft, low-fat cottage cheese mixed in a 1: 1 ratio with fermented baked milk. By taste, consistency and properties, this mixture is very similar to ordinary sour cream. But the fat in it is 15 times less.

Instead of cheese, you can sometimes use dense sunflower curd. By the way, pay attention - according to GOST, the fat content in cheeses is indicated in terms of dry residue. Since cheeses always contain water, their actual fat content is usually one and a half to two times lower than stated. That is, if the label of Russian cheese says - 45% fat, then in fact there is unlikely to be more than 25%. The fat content is even lower in the so-called soft cheeses - Suluguni, Adygei, brynza, and so on. There, the actual fat content usually does not exceed 12%. Finally, homemade cheese is now on sale, which, by the way, is very tasty. So, its fat content is not higher than 5%.

Desserts and sweets. A serving of milk ice cream contains 10 g less fat than a serving of cream. The fat content of a standard 100 gram chocolate bar is 45-55 g, while in no case should you forbid yourself fatty foods. There are many ways we can eat them, have fun and still lose weight.

A 100 g portion of marshmallows, or marmalade, does not contain fat at all.

Let's repeat again. We are not talking about a complete replacement of fatty foods with less fatty counterparts. To lose weight, simply change the ratio. For example, earlier a person ate 4 servings of ordinary dumplings and one serving of dumplings with poultry meat per week, and in total received 145 g of fat per week with dumplings. Now, on the contrary, 4 servings of poultry meat dumplings and one serving of regular ones. In total - 60 g of fat. Gain of 85 grams per week, or 12 grams per day, or more than four kilograms per year.

Well, of course, do not forget about non-fat products specially developed at the Research Institute of Dietetics and Diet Therapy for losing weight, which, with a low calorie content, have a high saturating ability. Today it is cocktails, cereals and soups. All these fast food products, it is enough to have a kettle with hot water. Maximum pleasure for every calorie consumed!

How to lose weight: 3. The third approach is culinary

We reduce the fat content of the dish in the process of its preparation.

How to lose weight with food processing? For example, when cutting meat, visible fat can be partially removed, the fat content of poultry meat is reduced by 2.5-3 times if the skin is simply removed.

A very well-known technique - the meat broth is placed in the refrigerator overnight, and in the morning the fat that has risen to the top is removed. This operation allows you to reduce the fat content of a standard serving of soup by 10-12 grams.

We get quite a lot of fat from fried foods. Hence the common idea that for successful weight loss, in no case should you eat fried foods. Indeed, when frying in oil, foods absorb a lot of fat. For example, standard potato chips have a fat content of about 30 grams per 100 g of product, homemade fried potatoes contain about 15% fat, and there is practically no fat in the potato itself. All the fat gets there from the pan. But everything miraculously changes if non-stick cookware is used. Then, to prepare 3-4 servings of fried potatoes, it will take literally 1, maximum two spoons vegetable oil, and you will get a product with a fat content of no more than 3%. One tablespoon of oil is enough to fry 8-10 pieces of fish. This will increase the fat content of each serving by only 2 grams.

I managed to fry a whole dish of pancakes, spending only 5 g of vegetable oil on the whole thing. And the pancakes turned out really good. I took a pan with a non-stick coating, ignited it, and instead of pouring oil, I greased it, using half a raw potato as a shaving brush. As a result, from a glass of flour, a glass of milk with a fat content of 1.5%, one egg and 5 g of vegetable oil, I got 7 pancakes weighing 50 g each. The energy value of one pancake is 95 kcal, fat content is 2 g. By the way, a pear, or a standard slice of bread, has about the same calorie content. A glass of fermented baked milk with 4% fat content has a calorie content of 140 kcal.

Another interesting technique for goto is to lose weight without reducing the quality of nutrition. Quite a lot of fat is absorbed when frying circles of zucchini and eggplant. Their fat content can be reduced by drying the pieces with napkins. "Prize" from one serving can reach 15 grams of fat.

There are roasting methods that not only do not increase the fat content of the product, but, on the contrary, reduce it. First of all, this is grilling, barbecue, grilling and other forms of so-called infrared cooking. So, when baking on a skewer, the fat content of a standard serving of barbecue is reduced by 8-10 grams. A similar result will be obtained if the meat is baked in foil.

How to lose weight: 4. Gastronomic approach.

We reduce the fat content of food already directly on the plate, while eating.

How to lose weight at the table? Everything is simple here - we cut off pieces of fat and set them aside, remove pieces of skin from the bird, set aside and leave fatter pieces of cake, and so on.

How to lose weight: 5. Hedonic approach

Hardly the most important.

How to lose weight with treats? We divide food into everyday and tasty. The task of the first is to saturate us, fill us with energy, the task of the second is to give pleasure, pleasure.

Filling up on treats is like pouring French perfume into the gas tank of a car. The car can and will go, but at what cost!? And it is unlikely that such fuel will do her good! So, eat treats when you are already full, when your body is already filled with energy and nutrients. Then you will be satisfied with a very small amount.

A few more words about chocolate. Often my patients, in order to lose weight or maintain weight in order, refuse this delicacy. But they keep dairy products in their diet. But a glass of fermented baked milk with 4% fat contains about 10 g of fat. As much as a quarter of a regular bar of chocolate. And the fat here and there is the same, milk ...

Well, a very simple wish for those who want to lose weight. The slower you eat the treat, the better you capture all the subtle flavors.

The following table will help you navigate the fat content of familiar foods. Agree, it is much easier to use than a multi-page calorie table.

Fat content of the most commonly consumed foods (per 100 grams of product)

In order to visualize what gain this or that nutritional replacement gives in terms of a standard portion, pay attention to the table below.

How to Lose Weight: 6. The Pre-Meal Method

Quite often, the so-called pre-meal helps to streamline food, reduce appetite a little and eat more quickly.

10-15 minutes before the main meals, you can drink a glass of warm water or slightly sweet tea with milk, or a glass of milk in small sips. You can eat a small portion of low-fat cottage cheese or cottage cheese mixture with fermented baked milk and cereals or fruits, or drink a portion of a slimming cocktail. Typically, the calorie content of such a portion turns out to be two times less than the number of calories by which it is possible to painlessly reduce the main meal. For example, a person usually ate 600 calories of food for lunch. After having a 50-calorie snack before meals (a cocktail), he then eats 400 calories for lunch. And he gorges himself. Winning - 150 calories!

Reducing the sugar content in food is also quite simple. Of course, provided that you do not try to forbid them to yourself at all. A person very quickly gets used to using less sugar in drinks. More often uses soft drinks with sugar substitutes. From bread, he uses rye and bran bread more often, and somewhat less often - white. Of the cereals, it would be nice to have a little more buckwheat and a little less semolina.

It is advisable, when building a strategy for your nutrition, to use not one method of reducing fat content, but several at once, choosing those that are best suited to a given situation.

We have repeatedly investigated what is the caloric content of a person's diet if he reduces fat intake to 35-40 g per day and does not abuse sweets. It turned out that in this case, the calorie content of his diet does not exceed 2000-2100 kilocalories per day. This completely prevents weight gain even in people who lead a relatively calm lifestyle and are not engaged in physical labor.

Indeed, a diet high in fat can lead to weight gain. But at the same time, it is not enough to use fat-free products if you want to remove excess weight. It is necessary to monitor the diet in general.

Remember that your body stores excess calories as fat, even if they come from low-fat or low-fat foods. If you replace fatty foods with high-calorie ones, then you will also continue to gain weight.

You can do this by moving more and eating less fat and calories.

What is the amount of fat in the diet?

Most adults should get 20%-35% of their daily calories from fat. That's about 44 to 77 grams of fat per day if you eat 2,000 calories per day.

Pay attention to the fat content of foods and try to choose lower fat alternatives. This does not mean at all that it is necessary to buy dairy products with 0% fat content. After all, a minimum of fat should also enter the body. Try to eat a variety of low-fat foods so that your body can get the most of its nutrients.

Eat plenty of plant-based foods (such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables) and moderate amounts of low-fat meat to help control fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, and calories.

Here are a few options for lean protein sources: skinless poultry, veal, rabbit, lean fish, dried beans and peas, tofu, low-fat yogurt, low-fat or low-fat milk, low-fat cottage cheese, tuna in its own juice.

Choose foods rich in omega-3s fatty acids. For example, salmon flax-seed and oil walnuts for heart health. It is desirable that fatty fish (salmon, mackerel and others) be in your diet at least 2 times a week.
