How to deal with oily skin How to deal with oily skin

Oily skin is mainly caused by excessive secretion of sebaceous glands. Factors that affect the function of sebaceous glands include staying up late, endocrine disorders, excessive hormone secretion during adolescence, high mental stress, high temperature, and improper use of skin care products.

What to do if your skin becomes oily?

1. Solution:

(1) Reduce the frequency of face washing

Wash your face no more than three times a day, using a mild cleanser. If you have oily skin, you can add a little salt to the basin before washing your face. It not only has a bactericidal effect, but also can remove the grease on our face.

(2) Use alternating hot and cold water

Cleverly utilize the principle of "thermal expansion and contraction". After cleaning the facial skin, use warm water to expand the skin's pores to achieve a deeper cleansing of the pores, and then use ice water to shrink the pores. Soak the prepared cotton pad in ice water and stick it on the large pores on the face to shrink the pores.

(3) Hydration is also key

Girls with oily skin not only have large pores, but also have uneven skin tone. Moisturizing is also the key. Because facial skin cells secrete too much oil, it leads to an imbalance of water and oil. Don't just control oil. You should learn to start with moisturizing. Moisturizing is the basic skin care to keep your skin young. Use astringent toner that shrinks pores. Moisturizing, oil control, and pore shrinking are perfectly combined.

(4) Preparation before using the computer

Some people use computers for several hours or even more than ten hours. After using the computer, they look in the mirror and find that their faces are greasy. Before turning on the machine every day, you should wipe the fluorescent products with a clean flannel to reduce dust adhesion; you should learn to use a primer to isolate the skin from dust damage; you must do a good job of daily skin cleaning to allow the pores to breathe freely and let the skin rest and relax;

(5) Arrange your time appropriately

Try to develop a regular sleep schedule. If you really have to stay up late, make sure you clean yourself before going to bed and don’t sleep with makeup on. Also, apply a hydrating mask before going to bed.

(6) Choose the right cosmetics

First understand what skin type you have, and then choose the right skin care products accordingly. People with oily skin should try to choose cosmetics with a refreshing texture and oil-control and moisturizing effects.

2. Reasons for oily skin:

(1) The face has a lot of sebum secretion. In order to control oil, the face is washed too often, which stimulates the secretion of sebum on the face, causing the amount of oil to increase and the skin to become drier and drier;

(2) Washing your face with facial cleanser in the morning and evening can remove facial oil but cannot control the secretion of facial oil. This is because oily skin produces a lot of oil on the surface, but in fact the skin is seriously lacking in water. After removing the oil, only by replenishing the skin with water can the effect of oil control be achieved;

(3) The static electricity from computers dehydrates our skin, creating a vicious cycle where dry skin becomes drier and oily skin becomes oilier.

(4) Staying up late frequently will affect endocrine metabolism, causing skin moisture loss, leading to dull skin, excessive oil secretion, acne, etc.;

(5) Many skin care products contain oily ingredients. If you have oily skin and frequently use greasy cosmetics, it will increase the burden on your skin and cause it to secrete more oil.
