Oily skin produces excess sebum, which makes the skin look shiny and oily. Most of the time, this type of skin is prone to pimples, and acne-prone skin is generally oily skin as well. The pores are dilated and thus dirt and impurities are attracted inside these pores, resulting in blackheads.
The factors that determine skin fat can be countless, most often they are genetic in nature, but they can also be caused by a hormonal imbalance, gynecological conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, incorrect hygiene (excessive skin cleansing, use of inappropriate products, poor hygiene), frequent exfoliation, stress, high temperatures, environment, diet.
How do we take care of oily/acne-prone skin?
- Don't over-cleanse your skin, twice a day is enough. Specifically, cleanse your skin in the morning and evening.
- Use care products intended for oily/acne prone skin.
- To cleanse your skin, use a gentle product such as a gel or foam.
- Use a toner based on rose water, aloe vera, green tea, or tea tree.
- As for hydration, use creams designed for oily/acne-prone skin, which keep the skin hydrated and do not dry it out. Aloe vera gel hydrates the skin as much as it needs and gives it brightness.
- Sunscreen is extremely important and should not be missing from your daily routine, as it prevents photoaging, the appearance of hyperpigmentation spots, acne lesions and skin cancer. Due to solar radiation, the skin becomes very dry, resulting in increased sebum production.
- Skin exfoliation is done once or twice a week.
