How to care for oily skin? What are the misunderstandings about oily skin care?

How to use cleansing

Wash your face twice a day with a gentle, water-soluble cleanser. It is best if cleansing products can be rinsed thoroughly without leaving any residue, and do not contain cleansers that dry out the skin such as sodium lauryl sulfate (which does not benefit the skin by overdrying it out) or fragrances (fragrances can be irritating to the skin).

How to exfoliate

The dead skin cells accumulated on the surface of oily skin are thicker than those of normal people, and the inner walls of the pores are also thicker. Exfoliation can remove this layer of dead skin cells, unclog pores, remove whiteheads, and smooth the skin. The best exfoliant for oily skin is salicylic acid (BHA). Salicylic acid can not only remove dead skin accumulation on the surface of the skin, but also go deep into the pores to clean the cuticle, thus improving the function of pores, helping oil to be discharged smoothly, and solving the problem of clogged pores.

Avoid using strong, fat-removing cleansing products or cleansing your skin frequently. Oily skin does feel refreshed, even a little "dry", after intensive cleansing. However, what is "washed" away in this way is not only the floating oil on the face, but also the natural protection of the skin. Skin experts believe that the correct way to cleanse is not to wash away all the oil, but to choose a gentle and appropriate oil-control cleansing product to remove excess oil.
