Oily skin can be difficult to deal with, but there are some common mistakes that many people make in their skincare routine that can make it worse. Here are the five most common skincare mistakes for oily skin that are worth avoiding.
-
Not hydrating enough : Even though oily skin has higher sebum production, it's important to hydrate regularly to keep skin balanced. Not moisturizing your skin can cause an increase in sebum production, making your skin even more oily. Choose a light, non-comedogenic moisturizer to avoid clogging pores.
-
Not treating pimples adequately : One of the symptoms of oily skin is certainly the appearance of pimples and blemishes due to excess sebum. It is well known that treating pimples properly prevents scarring. It is recommended to use suitable patches and creams.
-
Don't use a toner : Toner helps remove excess oil and impurities from the skin, but many people with oily skin overlook it. Be sure to use a non-comedogenic toner to keep skin balanced and prevent pores from clogging.
-
Don't use a sunscreen : Oily skin needs sunscreen like any other skin type, but many people avoid using a sunscreen for fear it will make them even more oily. Choose a light, non-comedogenic sunscreen to protect your skin without causing blockages.
-
Do not double cleanse : Cleansing is essential for oily skin. Many don't do oil-based cleansing for fear of further greasing the skin. But in reality it has a fat-melting-fat effect that can thoroughly cleanse the skin of impurities!
In summary, the key to an effective skincare routine for oily skin is balance. Moisturize regularly, exfoliate gently, use a toner and sunscreen, and choose non-harsh products to keep skin balanced and prevent pores from clogging.
