S.O.S. Oily Skin! The routine your skin needs

Oily skin is the result of excessive sebum production by the sebaceous glands located in the deeper layers of the skin. Its appearance can be worsened by poor or excessive cleansing, hormonal imbalances, certain medications, not using the right products for this type of skin and even a poor diet.

Visible pores, pimples, blackheads or blackheads, excess shine and pigmentation spots are some of the most common characteristics of oily skin. If you have this type of complexion, you need to take specific care to avoid the appearance of imperfections and keep oil under control. Fortunately, the experts at GEODERM have some tips on how to properly care for oily skin.

TIPS FOR TAKING THE RIGHT CARE OF OILY SKIN

Preventing excessive facial oiliness involves a combination of specific care, the use of adapted routines and the use of products suitable for this skin type.

1. Attention to facial cleansing: It is essential and the most advisable thing to do is twice a day, once in the morning to remove the impurities that are generated during the night while we sleep and once before going to bed to remove make-up and all the dirt that has been created during the day. 

2. Use non-comedogenic and oil free products: Oil free products will not be greasy. Texture is also important. They should be fluid textures such as serums, emulsions, gels or light creams, as they are non-greasy.

3. Yes to hydration: We often make the mistake of not moisturising our skin properly for fear of making our face oilier, but in reality we can end up with something worse: dehydration. The difference is that moisturised skin has a high water content, while oily skin is full of oils or lipids. Include a quality moisturiser in your daily routine.

4. Eat right: Eating a balanced diet rich in healthy fats such as those found in fish, fruits, vegetables and high fibre foods and avoiding foods with a high glycaemic index such as refined flours or products with sugars, is beneficial to avoid acne breakouts and skin imbalances that contribute to oily skin.

5. Do not exfoliate excessively: It is recommended to exfoliate once or twice a week at most. Exfoliation is very helpful in reducing the amount of sebum produced. However, the choice of exfoliator should be gentle.

6. Always use sunscreen:  Oily skins have a disadvantage compared to the rest, they are more prone to develop spots or hyperpigmentation after acne outbreaks. Sunscreen is therefore essential and will help reduce the likelihood of facial blemishes. The good news is that it is the slowest ageing skin type and is also the most resistant against.
