Is it okay to wash your face with soap if you have oily skin?

I believe that many friends with oily skin spend a lot of effort every day choosing from a wide variety of products suitable for their daily cleansing. There are various facial cleansers, facial cleansing gels, and even facial cleansing soaps on the market. Many friends also believe that soap is the best for removing oil, so they often choose to use soap to wash their faces. So is it good to wash your face with soap if you have oily skin? Let’s take a look together below.

It is best to use a facial cleanser designed for oily skin. Soap is too alkaline and long-term use will dry out the skin and enlarge the pores, causing great damage to the skin.

Oily Skin Care:

1. Because oily skin has a faster metabolism and is prone to keratin accumulation, it is necessary to exfoliate once or twice a week.

2. If you need to stay outdoors often, you need to make certain sun protection preparations. Oily skin cannot escape the harsh ultraviolet rays. Under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays, oily skin will secrete more oil, so you need to apply some sunscreen. If you feel it is oily, you can use facial tissue to absorb excess oil. This will effectively protect the delicate skin.

3. It is not advisable to face the computer for a long time. The static electricity from the computer screen will keep dust on the face for a long time, causing pores to be clogged. The oil secreted by the skin tissue will cause excretion obstruction and aggravate acne. Therefore, even if it is necessary for work, try to take a break after completing a certain amount of work.

4. Ensure adequate sleep. Frequent staying up late will cause the skin to secrete too much oil, making the skin rough and dull, and the pores enlarged. Staying up late will also accelerate the secretion of adrenaline, leading to increased pore obstruction in the cortex and easily causing acne. Therefore, makeup friends with oily skin must have good sleeping habits and insist on not staying up late.

After the above introduction, I believe friends have a deeper understanding of whether oily skin can wash face with soap. Of course, ordinary soap will not work. Not only is it of no benefit to the skin on your face, it will also cause the skin to become dry and the pores to become larger. Therefore, friends with oily skin should still choose cleansing products in a targeted manner.
