Oily skin: symptoms and solutions
If oily, acne-prone skin is the problem of many teenagers, you should know that it is entirely possible to suffer from it as an adult. In fact, many women over 25 still say they suffer from skin problems today... It's hard to feel good about your skin when it does whatever it wants! When shine and impurities spread across our face, it becomes very difficult to have self-confidence. However, getting beautiful skin back is not very complicated.
While it is difficult to take care of oily acne-prone skin, its specificities are simple: oily skin is a sign of excess sebum. Of course, sebum is essential for the good health of your skin, since it gives it suppleness and protection and delays the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, but when it is overproduced, it clogs the pores and it is your epidermis that has difficulty breathing.
Because even if oily skin is lucky enough to suffer less from skin aging, clogged pores can cause imperfections that are just as unpleasant. The cherry on the cake: when your sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, your skin ends up shiny by the middle of the day... enough to make your makeup fade from your meticulously worked complexion in a few hours! And when imperfections develop, it is because the overproduction of sebum creates inflammation: then red spots, white spots, microcysts, blackheads, dilated pores appear... enough to delight all women! Acne-prone skin can be a real nightmare.
However, if you keep the same skin type all your life (oily skin will – unfortunately – remain oily skin indefinitely), it is possible that it will experience different states. Indeed, it is not uncommon to see oily skin sometimes dehydrated by a sudden climate change or even oily skin sensitized and reactive, especially when your beauty routine is unsuitable. In addition, hormones can also play a role in the appearance of pimples and blackheads.
The solution to effectively maintain combination or oily skin? Regardless of its condition, oily skin needs gentle gestures and care... and gentleness means no more stripping products, grainy exfoliants and abrasive cleansing sponges. Opt for non-occlusive cleansers (which do not clog pores or suffocate the skin), capable of regulating sebum production while softening the epidermis. We also recommend that you rely on natural products to cleanse acne-prone skin, such as vegetable oils for example.
Oily skin routine: how to purify your skin
Remove make-up and gently cleanse your skin with Collosol Milk Water : its velvety texture makes your skin supple and prevents it from being damaged by hard water. In fact, it is a gentle cleansing treatment that will allow you to cleanse acne-prone skin deeply and gently.
In the form of a lotion, it is specially designed to minimize allergic reactions and irritations, two factors that can aggravate skin imperfections. While regulating sebum production, Eau de Lait also preserves its hydrolipidic barrier to ensure your skin is optimally hydrated, without overloading it. You will therefore benefit from a treatment that is both cleansing and moisturizing.
For daily use, apply Eau de Lait to a cotton pad before gently wiping it over your face. Use morning and evening. No rinsing. We also recommend completing your skin cleansing with a cleansing foam such as Collosol Chantilly Makeup Remover Emulsion. Double cleansing will give you smoother, clearer skin. You can then apply your daily skincare, preferably non-comedogenic.
Oily acne-prone skin: tips to get rid of it permanently
To begin with, it is important to remove makeup and dirt from the face every night. At night, it is the time when our skin takes advantage of inactivity to repair and oxygenate itself. If we have not properly removed dirt and makeup residue, this activity will not be carried out correctly.
Do not try to dry out the skin
It is a mistake to look for products that completely dry the skin to prevent the appearance of imperfections. Cleaning acne-prone skin with very aggressive products is not good at all. In fact, this removes the skin's hydrolipidic mantle and can cause a rebound effect, because the skin will produce even more fat to compensate for the loss.
Do not exfoliate the skin excessively
Excessive cleansing of the skin is counterproductive. It is better to use cleansing milks, such as Collosol Eau de Lait , which gently regulate excess sebum in oily, acne-prone skin.
Don't underestimate the importance of hydration
Another of the most common mistakes is to avoid deep hydration under the false belief that this is precisely what can cause the overproduction of fat. In this sense, we recommend the use of facial oils. In fact, by using vegetable oils instead of aggressive or comedogenic products, you will overcome your skin problems.
Oily skin is characterized by an excess of oleic acid (omega 3), which is why oils rich in linoleic (omega 6) help balance it. And although it seems that oily acne-prone skin will not have problems with hydration, the opposite can happen.
Moisturizing the skin with specific products, which help maintain balance, while absorbing excess sebum or regulating its production, is essential to maintain healthy, radiant and luminous skin.
