Will dry skin become oily?

For people with oily skin, the skin always produces more oil, while some people with dry skin always feel that their face is oily. We know that skin texture is greatly affected by endocrine system, so why does dry skin also produce oil?

Will dry skin become oily?

Dry skin will produce oil. Oily skin actually means that the skin's water and oil balance is unbalanced. There are many reasons for oily skin. Dry and oily skin may be caused by lack of water, endocrine disorders, unsuitable skin care products and weather factors. Depending on the different reasons for dry skin oiliness, corresponding adjustments should be made.

Why does dry skin also produce oil?

1. Rising temperature: The temperature rises in summer. Due to the characteristics of human skin, as the temperature rises, the amount of oil discharged by the skin will also increase. The skin can be compared to a piece of meat being fried in a pan. The higher the temperature, the more oil will come out. The same goes for the skin.

2. Endocrine disorders: Great stress and irregular eating and sleeping habits can lead to endocrine disorders and body function disorders, thereby stimulating the production of male hormones. And male hormone is one of the culprits that causes excessive oil secretion by sebaceous glands.

3. Dehydrated skin: This is the most important reason for dry skin. The skin itself lacks moisture, and staying in an air-conditioned room for 24 hours a day makes the loss of moisture in the skin unpredictable. This will cause more oil secretion to protect the dry skin from cracking due to dehydration. Therefore, any oily skin needs to be cared for with hydration, rather than just controlling oil, and hydrating products need to be selected according to different skin types.

The relationship between hydration and moisturizing

Hydration and moisturizing are like sisters and are often confused by people. In fact, they are two different skin care concepts. The former transports moisture into skin cells, while the latter prevents moisture loss from the skin surface and forms a moisturizing film on the outside. If you only replenish moisture without taking the step of "locking moisture", your skin will become dry and tight. Therefore, after using toner, hydrating essence or facial mask, be sure to apply lotion or cream with "water-grabbing" and "water-locking" functions to input nutrients and lock in moisture, so that the skin can truly achieve a hydrated effect. Usually, applying moisturizer on slightly damp skin can more effectively lock in facial moisture and make the skin softer.
