Oily skin happens when the sebaceous glands in the skin make too much sebum. Sebum is the waxy, oily substance that protects and hydrates the skin. 🔽
Sebum is vital for keeping the skin healthy. However, too much sebum can lead to oily skin, clogged pores, and acne. Managing oily skin often requires a person making regular skin care a habit.
✅ 1. Wash Regularly
Washing regularly can reduce the amount of oil on the skin. The following methods are recommended for washing oily skin:
• Wash with a gentle soap and warm water.
• Avoid soaps with fragrances, added moisturizers, or harsh chemicals, which can irritate or dry out the skin, making it respond by creating more sebum.
• Avoid loofahs and rough washcloths, as added friction may stimulate the skin to make more oil.
✔️ If this is not effective, some medicated acne care products may help.
✔️ These products contain acids that can tackle oily skin, such as:
• salicylic acid
• glycolic acid
• beta-hydroxy acid
• benzoyl peroxide
✅ 2. Use Toner
Astringent toners that contain alcohol tend to dry out the skin. However, natural astringents, such as witch hazel, can have skin soothing properties.
Witch hazel has a high tannin content that makes it a natural astringent and anti-inflammatory. Many people with oily skin use witch hazel as their only toner.
✅ 3. Use blotting papers and medicated pads
Blotting papers will not treat the sebum production in the skin, but they can be used to lift excess oil off the skin throughout the day to make it appear less shiny.
You can also try cloth pads that are medicated with familiar cleansing ingredients, such as salicylic acid or glycolic acid.
✅ 4. Use facial mask
Certain facial masks may be beneficial for treating oily skin. These may contain ingredients such as:
• Clay
• Honey
• Oatmeal
✅ 5. Apply Moisturizers
While many people with oily skin steer clear of moisturizers for fear that their skin will look greasier, using the right moisturizers can benefit this type of skin.
For people with very oily skin, an oil-free moisturizer containing aloe vera could help keep the skin moist and protected, without it feeling greasy.
