OILY SKIN CARE ROUTINE

WHAT IS OILY SKIN?

Oily skin is nothing but the excess secretion of the sebum. Sebum is sticky substance produced by the sebaceous gland which is responsible for the good health of the skin. But when this sebum increases too much it makes the skin oily, which often results in clogged pores ultimately breakouts, acne, and loss of skin glow.

REASONS FOR OILY SKIN

  • Stress
  • Dehydration
  • Hormonal Imbalance
  • Wrong choice of food (consuming excessive fried/ oily/ sugary food)
  • Genetics
  • Wrong choice of Skincare/Makeup

So, in order to protect the skin and maintain that healthy glow, one must understand the skincare game. So, lets discuss few things for the same.

Toner gives a soothing effect, minimizes pores, maintains Ph levels, and helps in hydration by allowing the moisturizer to penetrate deep into the skin. Choose the Toner with either of the ingredients: Lactic acid, or Glycolic acid, or Salicylic acid.

 

Never skip Moisturizer

Moisturizer is the key to healthy skin. No matter what your skin type is, moisturizer is a must.

Sunscreen Time

A SPF 50 sunscreen with gel-based formula can do wonders for oily skin types.

 

Mild Exfoliation

Mild exfoliation twice or thrice a week to remove all the dust and dirt from the skin.
