Oily Skin

Oily skin is characterised by a shine across the entire face, resulting from an excessive production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. This accumulation of sebum enlarges the pores, making the skin more prone to blemishes such as blackheads and pimples. Learn more here about oily skin.

FAQ about oily skin

What are the mistakes to avoid in order not to exacerbate oily skin?

To avoid exacerbating the oily skin condition, refrain from excessive cleansing, use products suitable for your skin type, remember to remove your makeup and ensure your skin is well hydrated.

What are the main causes of oily skin?

The primary causes of oily skin include genetic factors, hormonal fluctuations, a diet high in fats and sugars, stress, and certain environmental factors.

What is the difference between oily and combination skin?

Oily skin exhibits a high sebum production across the entire face, leading to shininess and enlarged pores, whereas combination skin is primarily oily in the T-zone and normal to dry in other areas.

Should oily skin be moisturised?

It is essential to hydrate an oily skin with light, non-comedogenic products to maintain its balance and prevent an overproduction of sebum.

Is oily skin more prone to blemishes?

Oily skin is more prone to blemishes as the excess sebum can clog the pores, thereby promoting the emergence of spots and blackheads.

Is makeup discouraged for oily skin?

No, it is entirely possible for oily skin types to use makeup, provided that lighter formulas are favoured. Applying loose or mattifying powder at the end of the makeup routine can also be beneficial to achieve a matte finish.
