How to take care of oily skin?

In the hot summer, the skin always loves to produce oil. That is because the endocrine system in the skin is out of balance, the oil is excreted quickly, the greasy skin is mostly on the face and nose, the reflective skin is rough and the pores are swollen. Long-term exposure to the skin will cause the pores to become clogged, which can easily cause skin wrinkles. The face is oily, and the whole body is oily. This is a manifestation of oily skin. So how should we care for the oily skin on our body!

Oily skin:

Oily skin has abundant sebum secretion, and the face is greasy, shiny, and rough, somewhat like orange peel. Especially in the T-zone of the forehead, nose and chin, more oil is secreted, which makes acne and blackheads very likely to occur. Oily skin is less prone to wrinkles, has a stronger tolerance to external stimuli, and appears transparent when tested with a tissue.

Maintenance points:

(1) The water temperature for cleansing can be higher, preferably around 40 degrees. Use a strong soap or cucumber cleanser to remove dirt stuck in the pores, and scrub repeatedly with a facial sponge.

(2) Use lotion to regulate sebum secretion to care for the skin, and use skin care products suitable for oily skin to nourish the skin.

(3) Avoid eating greasy foods and eat more vegetables and fruits.

(4) Perform deep skin care regularly: face washing, steam bath, massage, and facial mask. Use cosmetics that are suitable for your skin characteristics. Oily skin and dry skin can withstand various external stimuli, are not afraid of wind and sun, are not easy to age, and wrinkles later. This type of skin should be washed with a neutral or slightly alkaline soap and hot water, and the face should be washed three or four times a day. To remove dandruff, sebum and dust, make the skin smooth and beautiful and reduce pore blockage. This type of skin should not use too much cosmetics, especially oily cosmetics, so as not to aggravate oiliness and blockage of pores. It is best to choose vanishing cream with higher moisture content.

Oil Control:

1. Cleaning: Choose a mild and refreshing facial cleanser, which can not only wash away skin oil but also remove cosmetic residue and dust. The order of washing your face is to clean the forehead and nose first, then the chin and cheeks. Follow the order from bottom to top and from outside to inside to thoroughly clean the skin.

Note: Do not use cold water to wash your face, because we often sweat profusely in the summer. The skin temperature on a sweaty face is relatively high. The sudden stimulation of cold water will cause the pores of the facial skin to shrink, making it impossible for the oil and sweat in the pores to be cleaned out in time. The consequence of this is that the pores of the skin will expand, and sensitive skin may even become acutely inflamed! Oily skin is more prone to acne and pimples. The correct way is to use warm water. This ensures that the pores are fully opened without causing excessive loss of the skin's natural moisturizing oil.

2. Skin tightening: You can choose a toner containing some alcohol ingredients. It will evaporate quickly on the skin surface, taking away heat to cause the pores to shrink, and expel dirt and sebum from the hair follicles, deeply clean the pores, and make the skin fresh and clean. Using a toner containing trace amounts of alcohol can not only shrink pores and inhibit oil secretion, but also regulate the acid-base balance of the skin and help replenish moisture. When using, pour the toner onto a cotton pad. If you have sensitive skin, it is best not to use toner containing alcohol.

Many people like to use toner in summer. Although toner is effective, it is not ideal in terms of oil control and protection. First of all, it keeps the skin smooth and dry, but it does not think about helping hair follicles remove stains. For oily skin on the body, we should choose shower gel with strong oil control and take a bath frequently with toner every day to prevent greasy pores from being clogged.
