Oily Facial Skin Care, Avoid Doing These 7 Things So It Doesn't Get Glitter
JAKARTA – Excessive sebum production on facial skin is often troubling. Especially when the sun is hot, the face will be more oily than usual. Looks shiny due to excess oil production on the skin, can be reduced if you do not make a number of mistakes in the treatment.
Mistakes can make skin conditions worse. It can even cause acne to grow easily. So, avoid doing the following seven mistakes.
1. Washing your face too oftenWashing your face is often misunderstood. When you wash your face too often, the attached oil will decrease but the sebum production will increase because sebum is useful for keeping the skin healthy and firm. This means that it is enough to wash your face once or twice every day even if your face is shiny.
2. Do not use moisturizerYou might think that applying moisturizer will make oily skin worse. In certain conditions this is true, but in dry conditions, the skin still needs moisturizer.
This means that you still need to use a moisturizer, but choose a moisturizer that is specially formulated for oily skin. This will help combat dry skin as well as fight shine.
3. The wrong way to exfoliateExperts or dermatologists still recommend exfoliating, but not too often because it will not solve the problem of oily skin. Exfoliating the wrong way and done frequently can dry out the skin and increase sebum production. Instead of exfoliating every day, try to do it a maximum of twice a week.
4. Using pore stripsPore strips are used for the purpose of catching blackheads on the nose. However, for those of you who have oily skin, it is not recommended to use it too often. Why? Because sebum production will not decrease even though it reduces blackheads and cleans pores.
Change your perspective, that pore strips are not used to treat oily skin but don't assume that oily skin requires a lot of use of pore strips. For maximum results without causing oily skin problems, follow the package directions on how often to use the pore strips.
5. Washing faceLike washing your face, washing your face frequently will not treat oily skin. Precisely when the oil is lifted from the skin, it will naturally produce more sebum. So resist the urge to wash your face with water.
6. Change productsBeauty product trends are evolving all the time, but this is not the reason you can change your beauty products as often as new products are released. If you have a product that is optimally useful, stick with it. Avoid changing products too often because it will not be good for your oily skin.
7. Cover oily face with powderAfter the morning put on foundation and cover it with powder, avoid piling powder when the face starts to glow. This will not actually work to reduce oil but make the face sticky and potentially trigger acne. So it is advisable to look for products that are suitable for oily skin so that you don't have to accumulate powder to cover the luster of your facial appearance.
