Oily skin

Definition: Skin typology with hypersecretion of sebum, giving a shiny, oily and shiny appearance. The skin appears thicker and duller, the skin texture is irregular and the pores are visible and dilated. Excess sebum clogs pores, which leads to the development of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), as well as various forms of acne.

Internal and external causes: Heredity, hormonal fluctuation, smoking, pollution, prolonged and repeated exposure to the sun, use of unsuitable products, taking certain medications.

How to reduce or eliminate them: Opt for treatments containing active ingredients with purifying, mattifying and astringent properties, such as azelaic acid, AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid, etc.), BHAs (salicylic acid, etc.), hazelnut oil, niacinamide, zinc-PCA, etc.

Preventive measures: Wash your skin morning and evening with a gentle cleanser that respects the skin's balance (alcohol-free, fragrance-free, etc.) to avoid damaging the skin. Otherwise, the skin will react by producing more sebum; remember to remove tinted care every evening. Contrary to popular belief, do not neglect to moisturize your skin with a light textured cream; once a week, perform a gentle exfoliation to loosen and unclog clogged pores; complete your exfoliation with a purifying face mask. During the day, protect your skin from the sun.
