There are numerous misconceptions about oily skin, which frequently result in detrimental skincare mistakes. You may feel tempted to skip the moisturizer because your skin “doesn’t feel dry,” but in reality, it may be continuously losing moisture to the air. The one thing you must understand about oily skin is that constant attempts to remove excess oil from your face will fail in the long run. You need a skincare routine that adapts to your sebaceous glands’ hyperactivity and assists in maintaining it for clear, blemish-free skin. Here are some pointers.
Select the appropriate ingredients for your skin type:
When it comes to oily skin, the right ingredients are critical for controlling excessive greasiness and maintaining blemish-free skin. Among these skin-friendly ingredients are the following:
- Thyme, which assists in inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
- Witch hazel, natural astringent, helps mattify the skin without dehydrating it
- Zinc, which aids in the regulation of sebum production in the skin; and
- B3, also known as niacinamide, which minimizes the appearance of pores, soothes inflammation, and maintains the integrity of the skin’s barrier, preventing moisture loss.
Every day, double cleanse
Double cleansing is a technique that entails a two-step face cleansing routine that results in a more thorough, purifying cleanse. Begin with the Micellar Water, which aids in the breakdown of dirt, SPF, and excess sebum on the face. Purifying Facial Wash to remove any remaining sweat, bacteria, or impurities lodged deep within your pores. This daily double cleansing method will assist in achieving a clearer, more youthful, and visibly shine-free complexion.
Choose a light moisturizer:
Moisturizing oily skin properly is necessary to prevent the sebaceous glands from overproducing oil to compensate for moisture loss.
Avoid skipping exfoliation:
Oily skin has a difficult time naturally shedding dead skin cells. Exfoliation is required to penetrate the sebum barrier and slough off dead skin cells. Exfoliating 2-3 times a week will aid in the deep cleaning of your pores, removing excess oil, dirt, and dead skin cells, and preventing blemishes.
