What causes oily face?

Physical fitness reasons

From the perspective of physical fitness, people with phlegm-dampness constitution have a damp-heat constitution. Most people whose faces are always shiny and oily have this kind of physique. Damp-heat constitution is a common type of physical constitution, which is mostly caused by poor diet or illness. When the body's internal organs, yin and yang are out of balance, the absorption of blood, gas and fluid is unbalanced, and damp phlegm is easily produced, this physical condition can be considered a damp-heat constitution.

Physiological reasons

During puberty, because the subcutaneous tissue has abundant vegetable oil, the secretion of vegetable oil is high, the skin texture is rough, the pores on the face are large, the skin type is thick and hard, it is easy to get acne and blackheads, and it is easy for powder to float after makeup, the vegetable oil will leak out, and the face will be oily.

Genetic causes

Some friends are born with oily skin, which is a genetic condition. The sebaceous glands of the skin are more likely to secrete oil, which leads to heavy oil secretion on the face. In addition, there will be enlarged pores on the face, acne and pimples.

"Oil-soluble seborrheic" condition

Due to endocrine imbalance, neuropsychiatric diseases and some other symptoms, sebaceous gland nerve dysfunction and excessive sebaceous gland metabolism, the hair and face will look like they are covered with oil. The scalp is thick, the sweat pores are enlarged, and there are often sebaceous gland deposits. This condition is called "oil-soluble seborrheic dermatitis"

Regional reasons

People living in tropical climates usually have more oily faces. The hot weather will expand the pores of the skin and secrete more oil.

High mental and physical stress

Another reason for the disruption of male hormone balance is stress, especially female hormones are easily affected by stress. If the metabolism is disordered, skin problems will occur first. Of course, people with oily or dry skin types all have this problem. Don't be too affected by work pressure. The best way is to deal with your own work pressure as soon as possible.

Bad diet

This is a very direct reason. After eating greasy and high-fat foods, it will naturally become easier to produce oil. Especially for people with good metabolism, because the effect of excreting body fat out of the body is very strong, the metabolism of sebaceous glands will be more abundant. People who are prone to greasy food should remind themselves to avoid fried foods, peanuts, chocolate and other oily foods in summer.

Irregular lifestyle

The pace of life in modern society has become faster and faster, and many people do not have a good sleep quality, which leads to endocrine imbalance and male hormone disorder, which will have an impact on the skin and cause excessive metabolism of plant oils.

Improper skin care techniques

If you don't remove makeup and clean your face properly, dirt will remain in the pores of your skin, which will then cause the sebaceous glands to appear, the pores of your skin to expand, and bacteria to breed here, resulting in acne. In addition, rubbing too hard when cleansing will wash the sebaceous glands too much, and the sebaceous glands will instead secrete a large amount of plant oil. Also, if you don't apply moisturizing lotion in summer, the skin will secrete more oil in order to maintain moisture. In addition, if you use oil-removing facial tissue too frequently, it will stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete a large amount of vegetable oil.

How to treat oily face

1. Edible salt controls oil and replenishes water

Apply fine salt to the T zone, massage gently and rest for 3 minutes. Use the middle finger to do squeezing massage from bottom to top on the open pores of the nose skin. After trying it, my skin feels a little dry and needs to be hydrated.

2. Water and wine control oil and replenish water

Add some sake to the water when cleansing your face to achieve the effect of oil control and moisturizing. Similar to alcohol-free pore astringent, it can remove the secreted plant oil on the face.

3. DIY cucumber mask

Wash the loofah, peel it, and use a machete to cut the cucumber diagonally into thin pieces, about 1mm thick. After cutting into slices, put the cucumber slices on your face one by one in front of a mirror and take them out after 15 minutes. The effect is very good and can remove facial oil.

4. Single essential oil method

Using grapefruit essential oil and sage essential oil, it has a rapid oil control and moisturizing effect. It can not only intelligently whiten the skin, but also tighten the T-zone skin.

5. White rice vinegar controls oil and replenishes water

Mix rice vinegar and mineral water in a ratio of 1:3, use a cotton pad dipped in the solution to gently scrub, 3 to 5 times, then rinse with warm water. This method is very effective. If you stick to it for less than half a month, the "excess oil" in the T zone will be reduced.

6. Hydrating spray

First add degreasing facial tissue to absorb unnecessary sebaceous glands and stains, and then use a small amount of spray. Then use your fingers to perform a "flash massage" on the skin like playing the piano. Spray the spray on the face again and pat the skin gently to allow the spray to be thoroughly absorbed. Use tissue paper to dry unnecessary moisture. Immediately apply a little moisturizing product, the moisturizing effect will be more obvious.
