Oily skin: The skin is often "glossy and shiny", with large and obvious pores and blackheads/blocked pores. Some people have pimples and rashes. At the end of the day, even if you sit indoors, your face will shine.

Characteristics of oily skin: oily skin is not short of water.

It is very interesting that there is more oil than water. Because many people think that the fundamental problem of skin is "lack of water", while oily skin is "water-oil imbalance". This is of course very convenient. All skin types can be cared in one way, which is more convenient for the sale of moisturizing products. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The problems faced by oily skin and dry skin are very different.

Oily skin is often not short of water, and to what extent, they can't even use cream without feeling dry skin. Here's a concept. Cream is not a necessity. You should not make a skin care plan in the form of products, but should make it according to your personal experience and skin care demands. If someone tells you that everyone should moisturize and use face cream or eye cream, you can think about it silently in the future, which is not necessarily true.

Then let's analyze what are the demands of oily skin care. According to these demands, how should we care for the skin?

Basic requirements:

Sun protection: Everyone needs sun protection. Sunlight can lead to papules, spots, wrinkles, inflammation and enlarge pores. Oily skin is more suitable for water-soluble sunscreen.

Cleanliness addiction: In fact, many people recommend strong cleanser for oily skin, which I think is harmful. Oily skin will also be damaged by excessive cleaning, resulting in problems such as acne, closed mouth, dryness and irritation. This is not good for skin health. It is recommended to rub out foam or diluted cleanser within 30 seconds, then gently massage the face and rinse it off with water close to body temperature.

Moisturizing: As mentioned earlier, oily skin does not necessarily need moisturizing, because human oil itself is the safest "good product" to prevent water loss. If you don't feel tight after washing your face, you don't even have to wear cream. Because too much oil may burden the skin and make the skin problem more serious.

So what if you need to moisturize? For oily skin, it is recommended to use cream or emulsion without oily ingredients, or simply use essence containing moisturizing ingredients instead of cream.

Subdivided appeal:

Glossy and greasy feeling: the ability of oil secretion has a great relationship with hormones in the body. It is very dangerous to take the risk of hormones because of a little luster. External products have limited effect, mainly nicotinamide, vitamin A, salicylic acid (a little), and other ingredients are basically useless.

If you feel greasy, you can also use a natural mud mask to absorb it. Not only will the excess oil be removed, but the metabolic capacity of the skin will be slightly improved, and exfoliation will be more helpful.

Large pores: The size of pores actually has a great relationship with heredity, which means that under the same circumstances, some people's pores will be larger. If your skin is healthy and there is no problem, then you can only use makeup to relieve it. If the pores are large due to aging, the basic ingredients will not be effective for you, or VA and nicotinamide can make a difference. The other is to keep pores unobstructed, and the effect after keratin care is as follows. At the same time, do not excessively accumulate facial oil, refer to 1 and 3.

Prone to acne: keratin management and inflammation. Friends who know the mechanism of acne will know that pores are blocked by metabolized oil and keratin, which makes the interior an anoxic environment, making anaerobic acne bacilli multiply under the skin and stimulate acne. Therefore, if keratin does not block pores, acne will be easily controlled. Suitable for exfoliating oily skin with salicylic acid 1%, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, and cleaning pores. If it is mixed skin, salicylic acid toner/milk is only used in T area.

And acne has already formed, what should I do? First of all, it is recommended to keep 2.5% benzoyl peroxide ointment, which will break the anaerobic environment in the body, control acne well, take effect quickly, greatly reduce inflammation and effectively help acne recover. Secondly, don't squeeze by hand, it is very risky and will not heal well. You know, the "vitality" of acne scar is much stronger than that acne itself, and squeezing acne is not worth the candle.

According to this demand analysis, you can easily understand whether the products you are interested in can help you, and on this basis, you can slowly find the best combination!
