Is “Oily Skin” such a bad thing? Not if you know how to take proper care of it… Did you know that oily skin can be classified into two subcategories: oily (without water deficiency) and oily dehydrated (with water deficiency). In the first case, the skin has proper hydration; while it feels and looks oily, it does not have the sensation of “dryness”. In the second subcategory, the skin lacks moisture yet the skin has all the characteristics of oily skin present but the individual tends to complain of “dry skin”. People with oily skin tend go two ways in their skincare routines. One is to use drying, dehydrating ingredients in an effort to feel “less oily”. The end result is skin that feels flaky, rough, and scaly. Then we self-diagnose ourselves as a dry skin type and purchase products rich in oils. As the skin already has enough oil, these products only aggravate the oily condition and result in blemishes, blackheads, etc. The second routine is to they conclude that they do not need a moisturizer because they have oily skin. However, it is important to remember that oiliness comes from the oil glands, and moisture from the intercellular channels. How to care of oily skin? We suggest taking care of oily skin by gently cleansing morning and evening, and using oil-free moisturizing gels or lotions to help the skin maintain its suppleness and moisture. It is essential to keep oily skin clean and hydrated with appropriate cleansing and moisturizing. Using exfoliators that also provide moisture to the skin, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or the weekly use of enzyme peels designed for oily skin are highly recommended. These products help improve the look and texture of oily skin by reducing oiliness, and pore size, and by normalizing exfoliation rates. When properly cared for, this is the preferred skin type since the wrinkle process appears to be delayed. . . . #teispabeauty #skinaddict #skincare #skincaretips #oilyskin #smallbusinessowner #womanownedbusinesses https://www.instagram.com/p/CMdGtoyjTBj/?igshid=bmec2prh9bpv
