The correct oil control method for acne treatment How to control oil effectively for acne treatment

Today I will introduce to you the correct oil control method for acne removal. If you are still unclear about it, please take the time to learn the oil control method with me.

The correct oil control method for acne treatment

Oily skin is the skin type most prone to acne. Even in winter, oily skin will waver between moisturizing and oil control and acne removal.

In any case, although oil has a protective effect on the skin, if too much sebum has affected the health of the skin, then you should learn to control oil. However, people with acne skin rarely control oil correctly, and incorrect oil control will only aggravate the skin's acne sensitivity.

Teacher Qi Qi will teach you the correct method of oil control.

To properly control oil, you must start from the source of sebum secretion, the sebaceous glands.

Except for people who are born with particularly active sebaceous gland cells and whose oily skin is difficult to improve externally, the sebum secretion of other people can be improved to a certain extent.

1. Quit oily food

The more oily food you eat, the more pressure your body has to excrete the oil. The skin is also a channel for excreting oil, so oily skin appears.

To control oil, first quit eating oily foods, such as fried greasy foods, puffed snacks, hamburgers, fried chicken, etc., and instead eat more fresh green fruits and vegetables and whole grains.

2. Skin cleansing issues

Don’t think that facial cleanser can’t clean your face. Some people can’t stand a little bit of oil on their face and always wash their faces frequently and excessively. This will not only lead to the loss of skin moisture, but also stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil.

Therefore, in addition to washing the face in the morning and evening, people with oily skin can decide whether to wash their face at noon, depending on individual circumstances. Do not over-cleanse or use makeup remover products excessively at other times.

3. Oil control with skin care products

The oil in moisturizing products is used to lock in moisture, and oil-control products are used to reduce sebum secretion. The two are not in conflict. If oily skin does not like oil, you can apply less moisturizing products and try to choose refreshing and less oily moisturizing products, but you cannot do without moisturizing products.

As for oil-control products, you need to check the ingredient list to see if there are the following oil-control ingredients: salicylic acid, aloe vera, witch hazel, calendula, pyridoxine, purslane, totarol, chamomile extract, tea extract, PCA zinc, etc., all of which have oil-control and acne-removing effects.

4. Supplement B vitamins and zinc

Topical products are slow to take effect, so we still need to take a two-pronged approach and also work on internal adjustments. For people with particularly oily skin, if you have done all the above skin care steps but there is still not much improvement in oiliness, it may be that you are lacking some nutrients necessary for oil control.

For example, B vitamins and zinc. Therefore, oily skin can be supplemented through diet and preparations in daily life.

If your excessive sebaceous gland secretion is caused by excessive secretion of androgen, then you can appropriately supplement with estrogen or anti-androgen drugs. This should be checked in the hospital and taken under the guidance of a doctor.
