How to choose oil-control lotion for oily skin and what steps to take to cleanse your face

I remember that every winter, everyone with oily skin would avoid the topic when it comes to oily skin. Oily skin has become one of the daily skin care tasks for women.

How to choose oil-control lotion for oily skin

Due to genetics and sex hormones, some people have more sebum secretion, large pores, and are prone to acne and blackheads. This type of skin is oily skin. Caring for oily skin is not an easy task, but oily skin also has advantages: it is not sensitive and can stay "young" for a long time. As we age, oil secretion gradually decreases, and some people may even develop normal skin.

Thoroughly cleansing the skin every morning and evening is the key to oily skin care. Although cosmetics cannot change the secretion of androgen that causes excessive oil secretion, the use of cosmetics can reduce oil, shrink pores, and thus reduce the chance of acne. Every morning, moisten your face with warm water at about 40 degrees, and then use water-soluble cleansing products, such as facial cleanser, soap, etc. to thoroughly remove grease and dirt on the skin surface. If necessary, you can use a face brush, then wash it again with cold water to constrict the facial blood vessels and reduce sebum secretion.

After washing your face, use astringent lotion to condition your skin to shrink the hair follicles that have expanded during the cleansing process. Finally, apply a day cream suitable for normal skin. In order to more thoroughly remove the oil, dead cells on the skin surface and dirt in the pores, you should use a neutral facial scrub to deep clean the skin 1 to 2 times a week. The scrub should be done in the morning. After scrubbing, be sure to apply a moisturizing day cream. If the sunlight is strong, also use sunscreen.

What steps should you take to clean your face?

At night, clean your face following the same steps as in the morning. You can also use a facial cleanser containing alcohol, which will make your skin feel refreshed. Finally, apply a night cream suitable for oily skin. Don't apply too much night cream, use it as little as possible. If you are under 25 years old, don't use penetrating skin care products. It is enough to use moisturizer around the eyes and neck.

Oily skin generally needs to wash the face three times a day, so in addition to morning and evening, the face should also be cleaned at noon. The method can refer to the morning care method, but do not rub the face. You can also use a facial mask suitable for oily skin 1 to 2 times a week. People with oily skin should use less cosmetics rather than more, especially oily cosmetics, which will make the skin more oily and clog the pores. It is best to choose cosmetics that contain more water and have a moisturizing effect. In terms of diet, avoid eating greasy and spicy foods, try to quit smoking and drinking, and eat more fruits and vegetables.

Generally, when people choose oil-control lotion, they will buy extremely expensive oil-control lotion, but the actual effect is not very good. The key is to see whether it is suitable for our skin. No matter what kind of skin care product it is, the most important thing is not to make a wrong choice. You should choose some relatively gentle and non-irritating ones. Natural herbal essences are best for oily skin.
