Oily skin care methods/steps

Remove shine by cleaning

For girls with oily skin, you can choose cleansing products containing ingredients such as fruit acid, salicylic acid, and enzymes to gently unclog pores. In addition, using cleansing oil to remove dirt deep in the pores in an "oil-dissolving-oil" manner is also a good method.

Soap-based cleansing products produce richer foam and are more suitable for girls with oily skin in summer.

It should be noted that washing your face frequently will not prevent your face from becoming oily. On the contrary, since your face will be dry after washing, it will stimulate the skin to produce more oil. Therefore, it is best to wash your face 2 to 3 times a day. After washing your face, you can repeatedly apply a hot towel (50 to 60 degrees) to your face to open the pores and effectively remove oil.

Toner enhances moisturizing and oil control

After cleansing, you must remember to provide moisture to your skin in time. Toner is the key to this step. Toner can neutralize the alkaline nature of cleansing or oily skin, and at the same time remove dead skin cells on the skin surface to help absorb skin care products. Pour an appropriate amount of lotion onto a cotton pad and gently pat it on your face to replenish moisture to your skin. For beauties who are worried about excessive oiliness of their skin, it is a good idea to use oil-control toner to pat the skin.

The so-called oil-control toner is a toner that is mostly added with oil-absorbing powder or oil-control ingredients. In addition to deeply removing the grease and dirt in the pores, it can also effectively inhibit the problem of oiliness in the T-zone.

Refreshing lotion locks in moisture and helps control oil

If toner has a strong ability to replenish water, then lotion plays a role in locking in moisture. Many girls think that lotion contains oil, which makes it sticky and uncomfortable to use, and will cause the skin on the face to secrete more oil, so it is better not to use it.

In fact, this view is wrong. Although we have given our skin enough water through the previous skin care steps, if there is no lotion to lock in the moisture, the moisture in the skin will soon be lost, causing the oil control and moisturizing work to be abandoned halfway, and the oily face will return again. The lotion used in summer should be light in texture but moisturizing. In toner, let the skin lock in moisture and moisturize.

Summarizing the above introduction, we understand that for oily skin, it is better to use oil control or moisturizing. No matter it is oil control or moisturizing, oily and dry skin is caused by lack of moisture in the skin. Only when the skin is full of water, and then use oil control method to let the skin lock in water, the skin will be moisturized and smooth, and there is no need to worry about oil production.
