The significance of prevention is far greater than that of treatment.

Is oily skin a sign of dehydration?

Oily skin is a skin problem that many people have, especially in the summer when people sweat a lot. The mixture of sweat and oil on the face will not only clog the pores and hinder the normal breathing of the skin, but also breed a lot of bacteria and cause acne. What to do if your skin becomes oily? Let’s learn a thing or two below.

As we all know, prevention is far more important than treatment. So instead of waiting until the skin becomes oily before treating it, it is better to develop good skin care habits in advance to avoid "oily face". The following methods can inhibit excessive sebum secretion. Friends with oily skin may wish to give it a try.

1. It is best to use a facial cleanser with Chinese herbal ingredients and wash your face with an egg, which can clean the pores and regulate sebum secretion.

2. Steam your face with water vapor for about 10 minutes at a time. The frequency depends on how oily your face is. If your face is oily, it is best to steam it every day. If your face is not too oily, steaming it every 3 to 5 days is also fine. This practice can help unclog pores and inhibit sebum secretion.

3. Cucumbers are rich in moisture, and it is very easy to make a cucumber mask. Cut the cucumber into thin slices and apply it on the face. It can not only moisturize the skin but also have a good oil control effect.

4. You can also try using Chinese herbal powder to regulate your skin, such as Yuhua astringent powder, pearl powder, etc., which can not only remove oil, but also make your skin delicate and smooth.

5. The above is external conditioning of the skin. If you want to make your skin better, internal conditioning is also essential.

(1) Appropriate use of VE, compound VB, royal jelly, and honey can improve intestinal function while their rich nutritional value can meet the needs of the skin.

(2) Eat less oil, less salt and less spicy food. A light diet helps keep the skin in a state of water and oil balance.

Causes of Oily Skin

Oily skin not only affects your appearance, but it can also be a sign of certain diseases in the body. When you inadvertently rub your face with your hands and find oil on your fingertips, you should pay attention. Next, let’s take a look at the reasons why your skin becomes oily.

1. Being too "willful" in diet can also cause oily skin, such as smoking, drinking, and eating spicy and oily food. Nowadays, whether you cook at home or in a restaurant, you will add MSG and chicken essence to enhance the flavor. These two condiments may lead to increased excretion of zinc, making your face more "oily".

2. Excessive secretion of sebaceous glands will directly lead to severe oiliness of the skin, while endocrine disorders and abnormal hormone secretion in the body may also lead to excessive secretion of sebaceous glands.

3. "Lazy cancer" is rampant. I believe there are always people like me who have had the experience of being too tired to wash their faces at night, and then staying in bed in the morning and still not wanting to wash their faces. In fact, this is absolutely not advisable. Wash your face frequently and your skin will be much better.

4. Walking on the street, there are very few girls who don’t wear makeup. Although the makeup is beautiful, heavy makeup is a "pain that makes it difficult for the skin to breathe". If your skin is not very good, it is better to use more skin care products and less cosmetics.

5. Finally, lack of vitamins can also cause oily skin. You must eat more fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. Otherwise, no matter how good your skin care habits are, your skin will not be truly healthy.

Does oily skin mean dehydration?

I believe many people want to know the answer to this question, because oily skin is a skin problem that many people have. Although there is no discomfort in the short term, if left untreated, the oiliness will definitely become more and more serious. Does oily skin mean dehydrated skin?

1. Dehydrated skin can cause oily skin. This is because when the skin is dehydrated, it will spontaneously secrete oil to protect dry skin. When you find that your skin starts to secrete oil, you must pay attention, because this is a sign that the skin is dehydrated. If you do not take measures to replenish water, your skin will become drier and drier, and you may even develop acne and spots.

2. In addition to dehydration causing oily skin, many factors such as irregular living habits, unreasonable diet, lack of necessary exercise, emotional instability, inadequate sun protection, etc. can also cause oily skin.
