What is oily skin?

Oily skin has an overproduction of sebum, the skin’s natural oil. Sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin and helps to moisturize and protect. Excessive sebum production can lead to oily skin, which often appears shiny, greasy and may be prone to acne and large pores. Oily skin can be a result of genetics, hormone fluctuations, diet and skincare habits.

How do we care for oily skin?

1. Avoid over-cleansing. It may be tempting to cleanse frequently to reduce oiliness but over-cleansing can actually stimulate the skin to produce more oil. Keep cleansing to twice daily unless you’ve been sweating heavily

2. Moisturize. Even oily skin needs hydration. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula that is hydrating without feeling heavy on the skin.

3. Exfoliate regularly. Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, preventing the buildup of oil and debris that can lead to breakouts. Use a gentle exfoliator containing BHA (salicylic acid) or AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) 2-3 times per week.

4. Use mattifying products. Incorporate mattifving products such as oil-absorbing sheets, powders, or primers into your skincare and makeup routine to control shine throughout the day.

5. Healthy lifestyle. Maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, manage stress levels, and get enough sleep. All these factors can influence skin health and oil production.
