CARING FOR OILY SKIN

CARING FOR OILY SKIN

 

CONTROL EXCESS OIL

Caring for oily skin is often misunderstood. There’s a misconception that oil skin is  “tough” and “thick”, so it’s commonly the most abused skin type.  Unfortunately, over-cleansing and over-treating can lead to irritation, dehydration, and breakouts.  The truth is oily skin can be just as sensitive as any other skin type and requires hydrating and moisturizing to maintain a healthy complexion.


 




CHOOSING THE RIGHT PRODUCT MIX

Choosing products and treatments that are appropriate for OIL CONTROL  and avoiding those that may be too harsh or drying IS THE KEY  to maintaining skin health and appearance. Afterwards, proper HYDRATION must take place.
 

THE PROPER ROUTINE FOR OILY SKIN

Oily skin can be prone to breakouts or not because acne is not necessarily a problem associated with the overproduction of oil.

A balanced skincare routine for oily skin includes gentle cleansing, regular exfoliation, and hydrators. Non-comedogenic, oil-free moisturization can help regulate oil production and keep skin healthy and clear.

 


THE MUST-HAVES FOR OILY SKIN

For extremely oily skin, we recommend washing with the ACNE WASH. With this cleanser, the caution is to replenish hydration and lipids immediately after cleansing with our non-comedogenic DAILY MOISTURIZER. 

THE ZINC MASK with Goji Berry Prebiotic is a perfect solution for oil absorption, pore cleansing, and skin texture balancing. This mask could be used as often as once a day.
