How to control oily skin

The pores of oily skin are more obvious, and the skin always looks oily. If it is not cleaned thoroughly, it will easily get acne. The sebaceous glands always secrete too much oil, making people look very unclean. So how to control the oil secretion of oily skin? The most basic approach is to clean the skin, then regulate your endocrine system properly and avoid the habit of staying up late.

First, let’s understand the elements that make up oily skin

1. Innate factors

Oily skin is also hereditary. If your parents have oily skin, then there is no doubt that your skin will appear oilier.

2. Endocrine disorders

Once oily skin occurs, we always wonder if our skin care methods are not in place. The root cause of oily skin is endocrine disorder. Human hormones are divided into androgens and estrogens. Androgens affect the secretion of oil. Once the sebaceous glands are overexcited, excessive oil will be secreted.

It is caused by the imbalance of water and oil secretion, which can easily cause pores to be clogged and form acne. Next, the editor will teach you how to care for oily skin.

3. Staying up late and being under too much pressure

Nowadays, the pace of life is accelerating and our stress is increasing, especially staying up late and working overtime can also cause oily skin. If we stay up late for several days in a row, we will find that our skin becomes oilier.

4. Impact of temperature

Changes in temperature can also affect the secretion of oil in the skin. As the temperature rises, oil secretion will also increase, thereby increasing the oiliness of the skin. Especially in the summer when the temperature is high, oily skin should be more carefully protected.

2. Daily steps for oily skin care

1. Cleaning

In the morning, use strong soaps to clean open pores, and use mild and effective lotions to clean closed pores; use soap in a humid environment and cream in a dry environment. Of course, as beauty technology develops, it tends to be more and more integrated.

2. Office degreasing

Oil-absorbing facial tissue, oil-absorbing powder, etc. to remove surface grease

A greasy face is not only unsightly, but also easily leads to clogged pores and acne. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the oil that has been secreted to the skin surface as much as possible. The editor recommends using skin care products containing alcohol and aluminum, oil-absorbing facial tissue, oil-absorbing powder, etc., or skin care products that promote the sliding of oil. However, these methods only move or remove the oil that has already leaked, so the effect is not long-lasting.

3. Makeup removal

When removing makeup, pay attention to removing makeup separately on delicate parts, and it is best to use the most skin-friendly makeup remover oil.

4. Wash your face with warm water

Friends with oily skin must keep in mind the doctor's advice and wash their faces with warm water, but not hot water, no matter what season it is. Hot water will reduce the moisture needed by the skin. If the skin loses moisture, it will be more difficult to control whitening.

Care method: You should choose some facial cleansers with rich foam and wash your face with warm water 2-3 times a day.

If you don't have acne or blackheads, you can choose to use toner instead of facial cream. Foundation with the words "non-comedogenic" can also be of some help.
