What to do if your face is too oily

I believe that most girls with oily skin will face the dilemma of putting on makeup in the morning, but having oily face by noon which makes the makeup smudged, but they are at a loss as to what to do with oily skin. In fact, oily skin is mainly caused by lack of water in the skin, which leads to an imbalance of water and oil in the skin. Therefore, if you control oil during cleansing and do a good job of moisturizing the skin, the symptoms of oily skin can be improved. What to do if your face becomes oily?

Why does my face always get oily?

1. Not washing your face or washing your face too much

Some people really don't wash their faces, while some people are just lazy and usually get up too late and don't have time to wash their faces. But there are still some people who don’t wash their faces at all. I have seen such people and I have no idea what they are thinking. If you don't wash your face, your face will be exposed to wind and sun for a day, and all kinds of dust and bacteria will accumulate on your face. If you don't clean it, it would be strange if your face can be clean.

Another problem is washing your face too often. Some people love washing their face and may wash it five or six times a day, or even more than ten times. However, frequent face washing not only fails to replenish moisture, but also takes away moisture from the skin. Then, the skin on the face will secrete more oil to protect the skin when it lacks moisture, so it will appear greasy.

2. Bad work and rest habits

This is also a common problem. We all know that irregular work and rest schedules can lead to endocrine disorders, which will then cause our bodies to produce oil and finally reach the skin layer. In addition, covering your head when sleeping at night will also produce oil, because the skin cannot breathe freely, so it will also seep out oil.

3. Spicy and greasy food

It is hard to say whether eating spicy food will produce oil or not. Most people think it will be greasy. But if you eat greasy food, your face will definitely get oily, you don’t even have to think about it. Greasy foods contain a lot of fat and are high-calorie foods, which will increase the secretion of oil in our skin and make the face look oilier.

4. Staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time

We learned earlier that our skin will automatically adjust and will secrete oil if it lacks water. We usually feel very dry in an air-conditioned room and always want to drink water. This is because the air conditioner will take away the moisture in the air. Therefore, if you don’t have a humidifier in your home, your skin will definitely be dry and oily.

What to do?

1. Diet

As I said just now, eating spicy and greasy food can cause oily skin, so we should eat more light food in normal times and avoid eating high-fat and high-salt food often. In normal times, drink more water or freshly squeezed juice, and avoid bottled drinks because they contain too much sugar and various additives. Drinking too many bottled drinks can not only lead to obesity, but also cause oily face.

2. Do a good job of replenishing water

Hydration is not exclusive to women, men should also hydrate, although it may make them look a little feminine. When our face secretes too much oil, it is easy to become oily on the outside and dry on the inside, so we can choose a refreshing moisturizer. When we wake up in the morning, we often find that our face is very oily, so it is a good idea to moisturize it with a hydrating mask, moisturizing essence and other products before going to bed at night.

Three: hot water foot bath

Whether it is winter or summer, you should soak your feet in hot water more often. This can not only relieve fatigue, but also regulate our endocrine system. As mentioned before, endocrine disorders can cause oily secretions, so soaking your feet can effectively remove the oiliness on your face and it is also very effective in removing blackheads and pimples.

4. Don’t stay up late

There is no need to say more about this. Try not to stay up late. It is very harmful and has no benefits at all. Therefore, we should go to bed early and get up early, and regulate our work and rest habits, so as to reduce the oiliness on our face.

5. Always have spray lotion

Today's white-collar workers often work in air-conditioned rooms. They can bring a small spray to replenish moisture to their facial skin anytime and anywhere. After spraying the spray, you can gently press with a tissue to absorb the oil on your face. You can use ordinary paper towels, but never use oil-absorbing paper, because oil-absorbing paper is too effective and not only absorbs oil but also moisture.
