What is oily skin? Your skin makes sebum every day.Sebum keeps your skin supple and protects your skin from dehydration.Oily skin produces too much sebum.This creates a greasy feeling and shiny skin.If you have oily skin, then you often suffer from impurities such as pimples and blackheads.That impurities occur because your skin cannot handle the large amount of sebum. What are the features of oily skin? - Your skin shines and feels greasy - You suffer from impurities on a regular basis - You have visibly coarse pores - Makeup doesn't adhere to your skin How do I clean oily skin? Find a cleanser that is mild and preferably does not or hardly foam.A foaming cleanser often contains more cleansers.This can feel good right after washing, but in the longer term you prefer not to this.Not only the dirt and excess grease is removed, but also remove the dirt and excess grease. skin fat that your skin needs. As a result, your skin will create extra sebum, which makes your skin more oily. A cleanser with too much oil is not fine for oily skin. Do not use washcloths when cleaning your skin.

For oily skin, a toner with soothing substances is very important! 2.For oily skin, an exfoliant is a must. Use of an exfoliant prevents clogging of the sebaceous glands.Dead skin cells and sebum are gently removed: fresh, radiant skin becomes visible.It also has an anti-inflammatory effect. 3.Also, if you have oily skin, it is important to use day cream.If you have oily skin, your sebum production turns overtime.The use of day cream helps regulate sebum production.Therefore, choose a water-based moisturizing and matting day cream that helps prevent shiny.Avoid oil-based day cream if you have oily skin. 4.Use a clay mask weekly to remove excess sebum. Try the Dr. Van der Hoog Lava Clay Mask.This I personally like very much! The Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Mask from The Ordinary is also recommended. It contains salicylic acid, which penetrates deep into your pores and keeps them clean. Ingredients for oily skin Look for ingredients that are good for oily skin.These are substances such as licorice root extract (glycyrrhizia glabra) and green tea, as well as papaya, quercitin and beta glucan.Vitamin C is also a very suitable ingredient, just like niacinamide, which works, among other things, sebular regulating.
