Moisturizing Recommendations for Oily Skin

If you have oily skin, you need to make the right choices for your skin. Acne or acne-prone skin should be gently cleansed and products should be used to balance excessive sebum production. You can make the problem worse if you make rough movements on your skin or use excessive pressure and scrubbing. It may even become brighter and more oily. Go for the goal and follow the right care routine that will make your skin more beautiful, cleaner and more matte.

As you know from our previous articles, there are several skin types. They are divided into three as dry, oily and mixed. In general, we can say that for combination skin, dryness on the cheeks and temples is known as oiliness in the T-zone-forehead-nose and chin. Whatever your skin type is, it may change according to the seasons, climatic conditions or living conditions. In addition, smoking, alcohol, pollution, nervousness, stress, sun rays, use of harmful cosmetic products and hormonal changes are factors that affect the appearance and quality of your skin.

The formation of oily skin begins in adolescence in people (not seen in every person), this situation may increase with subsequent acne. In addition, pregnancy, pre-menopause or a hormonal imbalance can cause your skin type to evolve into oily skin. Every person may experience a long or short period of oily skin throughout his life, and this is very normal.

Oily skin is caused by excessive sebum production. Sebum is an oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands. Sebum is part of the hydrolipidic film that acts as a true barrier to water and sweat and the skin. This film covers the entire epidermis to preserve the integrity of the skin and protect the skin from external factors. It is very natural to have sebum in the skin normally and is necessary to maintain good hydration and keep the skin supple and youthful. The distress of the condition begins when the sebaceous glands begin to produce excessive sebum. Excess sebum makes the skin shine, the pores are easily clogged and this can cause acne, pimples and enlarged pores. To get rid of this situation, it is very important to apply the right treatment and balance sebum production.

   

It is necessary to adopt a healthy life for oily skin. In addition, fried foods, carbonated drinks, sugar and alcohol should be avoided. There is no such thing as you will never do these, but it will be in your best interest to limit them. Also, do not forget to drink water, at least 6-8 glasses of water should be consumed per day. Women who wear make-up on a daily basis, do not forget to clean their skin before applying make-up in the morning and before going to bed in the evening.

For all skin types, we should mention that all skin needs to be moisturized. It is wrong to say that moisturizing should not be done for oily skin. The epidermis loses water every day through perspiration. It is necessary to use a moisturizing cream that will nourish the skin, plump your face and restore the glow of your skin. You can also regain the moisture lost by the skin by drinking water. If you have oily skin, you need to know your skin's needs. For oily skin, the main task of a moisturizer is to nourish the skin, revitalize the skin and help regulate sebum production.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Consult a dermatologist. When choosing a moisturizer for your skin, be sure to use products that your dermatologist deems appropriate. The product or products used by someone else may cause different reactions on your skin. Oil-free and easily absorbed creams are recommended, especially for oily skin. Your doctor will tell you how many times a day it should be applied and how it should be applied.

We wish you healthy days…
