Oily skin, like any other, needs cleansing, toning, moisturizing and nourishment. But there are nuances.
Cosmetologists explained what oily skin really wants.
What are the characteristics of oily skin?
The active production of sebum, which distinguishes this type of skin from others, brings a whole range of troubles: clogging of pores and, as a result, a constant (or frequent) inflammatory process.
What to avoid if you have oily skin
Acne reducers and pore cleansers often contain alcohol, retinol, salicylic acid, and other ingredients that are very drying to the skin, can make it very sensitive, and lead to early signs of aging. Therefore, special care rules are important here.
Cleansing of oily skin can be soft: foam or hydrophilic oil. Toning may contain sebostatics (substances that fight the active work of sebaceous glands): zinc salts, acids, niacinamide. Oily and heavy textures of creams for this skin type are better to avoid, but light textures, devoid of fatty oils, are something that is really worth considering.
Having an oily skin type has a great plus that clearly overshadows other minuses. This type of skin ages (with proper care) in a slightly delayed perspective.
Does nutrition affect the condition of oily skin?
The list of restrictions from dermatologists is well known: these are dairy products, sweet, fatty, floury, fried, spicy. With the only caveat: the above is not so critical for simply oily skin, but it can be really critical for oily skin with acne (especially against the background of problems with the gastrointestinal tract).
