What skin care products should I use for oily skin?

1. Give up alkaline foaming cleansing cream and use cleansing milk instead

In order to deal with grease, people with oily skin often like to use strong cleansing soap or facial cleanser to wash their faces in summer. But in fact, too strong foaming cleansing liquid will take away moisture and sebum on the face, so it is best to use a milder cleanser without foam. The water temperature should be around 20℃. Too hot will cause sebum to lose moisture, and too cold will not clean.

2. Use moisturizing toner instead of astringent

Astringents containing alcohol can undoubtedly control oil secretion and shrink pores, but using them in winter may make the skin drier. If oil secretion is normal, you can use a toner with a cooling feeling, or use frozen distilled water instead.

3. Use summer night cream as winter day cream

You don’t necessarily need to throw away all the skin care products you use in the summer. For example, night creams used in the summer are usually more moisturizing than day creams, so you can switch to using them as day creams in the winter!

4. Replenish skin moisture and do not use oily creams

Many people think that people with oily skin do not need moisturizing, but in fact, if you don’t apply a protective film on your face, skin with large pores will be more susceptible to dust and will be prone to dehydration in winter. Therefore, people with oily skin should choose a water-based or gel-based moisturizer, which is enough to just replenish moisture. Cream-based skin care products contain a lot of oil. If you feel "sticky" after applying them on your face, don't continue using them.

5. Alternate between deep cleansing mask and moisture mask

Deep cleansing masks, such as hand-tear or mineral mud masks, have the functions of removing dirt and controlling oil, but in winter they cannot just control oil, so it is best to apply a pure moisture mask every other day to replenish moisture.

In fact, homemade masks can also cleanse and moisturize the skin. Here is a homemade oatmeal mask for you:

Ingredients: 1/2 bowl of oatmeal, 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/2 apple (mashed)

Method: Mix all the ingredients into a smooth paste, then apply it on your face for about 15 minutes and rinse it off. Egg whites can remove dead skin, lemons can whiten your skin, and oatmeal can moisturize your skin. It is definitely a multi-functional mask!

6. Oil-absorbing facial tissue and moisturizing lotion are essential when going out

In the summer, bringing oil-absorbing facial tissue when going out is a daily routine for people with oily skin, but in the winter, you must also bring lotion containing moisturizing ingredients when going out, and remember to replenish water every time after absorbing oil!

7. Choose water-based sunscreen

Sunscreen is necessary in summer and winter as well! However, oily skin should choose a sunscreen with strong water content and less oil content. After applying sunscreen, it is best to use oil-absorbing facial tissue to lightly wipe your face to reduce the oily texture.

Oily skin care methods

Makeup removal: When removing makeup, pay attention to separate the delicate parts and use the most skin-friendly makeup remover oil.

Cleansing: Use soaps with strong cleaning properties for open pores, and use mild lotions with good effects for closed pores; use soaps for moist environments and creams for dry environments. Of course, as beauty technology develops, it tends to be more integrated.

Hydrating and moisturizing: Use oil-in-water products and pay attention to the presence of moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, squalene, etc.

Nourishing: Nourishing is the last part of skin care, and its moisturizing, oil-controlling, nourishing, and repairing and soothing properties should be taken into consideration.

Sunscreen: It is a must for skin care, not just oily skin, but all skin types. Choose the right skin care products based on the intensity of ultraviolet rays (don’t ignore sunscreen even when facing the screen)

Firming mask: pear, yogurt mask. Use once a day. Suitable for oily and normal skin.

How to remove free radicals for oily skin

Free radicals are the culprit of skin darkening, pigmentation and aging. Excess free radicals in the human body will erode cell electrons, causing skin oxidation, and the lipofuscin produced will accumulate on the surface of the skin and gather into pigmentation. Especially for oily skin, the degree of oxidation is greater. The following is a detailed introduction:

①Sunscreen is the key point: The ultraviolet rays in the sun are permanently harmful to the skin and are the culprit of skin aging. Oily skin is more likely to absorb ultraviolet rays due to its abundant sebaceous glands and large pores, which leads to skin oxidation. Especially during the outbreak of acne on oily skin, you should be vigilant to stimulate the deposition of acne marks and melanin. Usually, you should rely on sunscreen to reduce the oxidation rate of the skin. For oily skin, choose chemical sunscreen with a refreshing and non-greasy texture, so as not to add burden to the already greasy skin. For sensitive skin, choose physical sunscreen, which forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to reflect ultraviolet rays without causing any impact on the skin. At the same time, try to choose a sunscreen value above SPF25 in summer, but the higher the sunscreen value, the better. The higher the coefficient, the greater the stimulation. You should choose according to the actual situation. For long-term outdoor work or vacation travel, it is recommended to prepare hard sunscreen items such as parasols, sun-proof clothing and sun hats to prevent the weakening of the sunscreen effect, and dark-colored sunscreen items often have better effects.

② Anti-oxidation: The deposition of melanin and skin aging are caused by the enhanced activity of free radical oxidase in the body. By using the essence of nature and artificial techniques, the process of free radical melanization can be effectively cut off, achieving cell regeneration to resist the production of free radicals.

a. Coenzyme Q10: Coenzyme Q10 is an excellent antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals and protect the skin. Long-term use of coenzyme Q10 can also effectively prevent skin aging, reduce facial wrinkles, reduce melanin deposition, and whiten the skin.

b. Grape seed extract: Grape seed extract is one of the most effective antioxidants found from plants so far. It can resist free radicals in the body and enhance human immunity. Because it contains a large amount of anthocyanins, it is the most useful ingredient found so far to resist free radicals. It keeps the skin young and white without oxidation.

How to deal with makeup removal on oily skin

1. Use oil-control primer

For oily skin, it is also very necessary to use a primer. Oily skin usually has large pores, and it is difficult to completely hide these pores with base makeup products. Base makeup products not only have a certain retouching effect, but the particles in them also have an instant filling effect, which can make the skin instantly delicate and reduce oil secretion to a certain extent, thus keeping the makeup clean and fresh for a long time.

2. Use loose powder to set makeup

In the summer, if it is not very hot and you go out to play, it is best to use a layer of loose powder to set the makeup. Because the particles of loose powder can also help control oil and keep dry. Before applying eye shadow, use a large brush to dip some pressed powder or loose powder and evenly apply it on the eyelids. This can prevent the eye shadow from coming off due to sweating and oil.

3. Mix sunscreen products and base makeup products

Often you will find that soon after applying makeup, patches of uneven makeup will appear on your skin. This is because some ingredients in sunscreen or other skin care products react physically with liquid foundation, making it difficult for both to be evenly distributed on the skin at the same time. In this case, you might as well try a different method, such as mixing sunscreen and liquid foundation to cover blemishes, even out skin tone, and prevent makeup from coming off due to rubbing.
