What is oily skin?
Oily or seborrheic skin is characterized by the production of excess sebum. This excess oil leads to excess shine on the skin, especially in the central areas of the face (T-zone), such as the forehead, nose and cheeks. This type of skin also tends to have enlarged pores, blackheads, acne and comedones.
Factors that contribute to oily skin are: hormonal changes, diets high in carbohydrates, sugars and dairy products, genetics, stress and pollution, among others.
To keep excess sebum at bay, eliminate shine, minimize pores and remove impurities from your skin, you should be consistent and follow a skincare routine for oily skin both in the morning and at night. Your skin will look more even, healthy and beautiful!
How to care for oily skin
Now that you know the characteristics of oily skin, it's important that you understand how to take care of it.
Here are some recommendations to take care of oily skin:
- Cleanse your face daily. It's essential to cleanse your face in the morning and evening, and also before and after exercise, as excess oil tends to trap dirt and bacteria in the pores. A good routine for oily skin will help you achieve even, clean, shine-free skin. Discover our facial cleansers!
- Watch your diet. For optimal skin health, it's advisable to follow a healthy and balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and high-fiber foods.
- Protect your skin from the sun. Sun exposure can stimulate the activity of the sebaceous glands, so we recommend using a sunscreen for oily skin and avoiding sun exposure during the hottest hours of the day.
- Choose the right makeup and skincare products. It's essential that you choose makeup specifically created for oily skin and include treatments formulated for this skin type in your routine. Look for products labeled "oil-free" or "non-comedogenic".
