What are some tips for oil control?

No matter what skin type you have, the face is usually the most oily place. Excessive oil secretion on the face will easily lead to the growth of acne and annoying pimples. So in order to prevent the occurrence of pimples and pimples, you must effectively control the oil on your face to make your facial skin clean and refreshed. So, what are some tips for oil control? Let's take a detailed look at it below.

No.1 To control oil, you should wash your face frequently and use oil-absorbing paper in time. Washing your face and using absorbent paper can indeed solve the problem of oiliness "immediately". However, the skin's sebaceous gland cells are alive, and over-washing your face or over-using oil-absorbing papers are only temporary solutions. Not only does it not reduce sebum secretion, but the opposite is true. After washing your face or using oil-absorbing paper, the sebaceous glands will generate instructions for insufficient sebum secretion, speeding up the pace of sebum secretion, and thus secreting more sebum to replenish the part that has been washed away or absorbed. So, in a sense, the more you wash, the more comes out; the more frequently you suck, the more comes out. Generally speaking, as long as you continue to use suitable oil-control products for cleansing and maintenance twice a day in the morning and evening, you can improve the oiliness of your skin. If you have particularly oily skin, it’s okay to wash your face once more at noon.

No.2 Use a toner with astringent ingredients to shrink pores. Smaller pores will naturally produce less oil. Toners containing astringent ingredients such as alcohol and vitamin A acid can indeed temporarily shrink pores. After washing your face in the morning and evening, applying astringent toner can not only cleanse the skin again but also shrink the pores to a considerable extent. However, long-term use of certain lotions containing powerful astringent ingredients can easily clog pores! At this time, oil will still be secreted, but it will not reach the surface of the skin. Over time, toxins and bacteria will accumulate, forming endless acne, blackheads, and even fat particles. Therefore, products that contain plant ingredients and are mildly astringent are more trustworthy.

No.3 Oil control means reducing oil secretion. For women over 25 years old, it is far from enough to control only the amount of oil. While controlling oil, you should also pay attention to adjusting the quality of oil. A comparative experiment found that the facial oil secreted by adults is turbid yellow, while the facial oil secreted by babies is clear and transparent. The fundamental reason for this difference is that adults are exposed to more sunlight and polluted air than babies. The oil contains a large amount of peroxy free fatty acids, which can easily contain toxins, causing the skin to look greasy, pores to be clogged, and to have problems such as blackheads and acne.

No.4 As you age, your skin becomes drier and oil control is no longer necessary. Oil problems are often considered to be exclusive to oily skin. In fact, many women over 25 years old will have problems such as oily T-zone, excess oil during menstruation, and oily skin under stress. If these problems are not properly resolved, a series of problems such as acne, enlarged pores, rough skin, dull complexion, etc. will come uninvited. There are also statistics showing that more than 60% of skin problems among Asian women are related to imbalanced oil secretion and metabolism. Oil control is no longer simply about reducing the amount of oil secretion, improving the quality of oil is equally important.

No.5 The less skin care products you use, the less oily your skin will be. The hot summer is often the most careless season for skin care. Refusing to use moisturizing products because of fear of greasiness is a big misunderstanding in summer skin care. Simply absorbing and controlling oil will not improve the oily condition, but will make the skin drier and produce more wrinkles. Only a balance of water and oil can bring the skin into perfect condition.

The above five methods are detailed introductions to small methods for effective oil control on facial skin. I believe that now everyone should have a certain understanding and knowledge about what are the small methods for oil control. The above methods can effectively solve the problems for many friends with oily faces and make the facial skin more refreshed and clean.
