Skin care routine for oily skin
What is the skin care routine for oily skin? from morning to evening.
As we enter the summer months, it is highly likely that you will complain about the increase in oiliness on your skin. However, if you have oily skin, we can guess that you want to use products that will keep your skin bright and vibrant and prevent unwanted shine at the same time. What you need to do to meet all these demands is to find the care routine that suits your skin.
So, what kind of day and night care routine should be created for oily skin?
Day care routine
Of course, the first step in your routine should always be cleansing, to remove dirt and oil accumulated on the surface of your skin. When you wake up in the morning, your skin may feel more oily. Even if you are not prone to acne or have active acne, you may still have oily skin. The important thing is to find the cleanser that meets your skin's needs. After the cleansing gel, experts recommend using tonic to balance the pH level of the skin and tighten the skin, and serum to brighten the skin by protecting it from environmental factors.
One of the most important steps in your routine is moisturizing. Oily skin can sometimes skip this stage compared to dry or combination skin. However, every skin needs water and using a moisturizer in a non-comedogenic formula is important for oily skin.
The last step is to not forget to apply sunscreen on your face. Sunscreen protects the skin from harmful UV rays, preventing premature aging and sun damage. Whether it's cloudy and overcast or sunny, as we always say, SPF is your best friend.
Night care routine
After a long day, especially if you put on make-up and left the house, you should start your night care by cleansing your face to remove the dirt and oil accumulated throughout the day, just like your day routine. Afterwards, it would be appropriate to exfoliate two or three days a week to cleanse the skin from dead cells, keep sebum oil away from the pores and ensure better absorption of skin care products. Although we repeat that you do not have to do this step every day, you can consult your dermatologist to determine the most accurate frequency.
Experts recommend continuing your routine with retinol to rejuvenate your skin overnight. Retinol, which combats the signs of aging and prevents them, will help minimize the appearance of pores and make the sebaceous glands less productive with regular use. Additionally, it is important to moisturize the skin after retinol. We recommend that you use a humidifier that locks in moisture and prevents water loss at night, as well as in the morning.
In addition, you can also add eye and lip care to your night routine, depending on your preference. It will be useful to use eye cream to protect the thin skin layer around the eyes and help eliminate dark circles and puffiness in the eye area. Even if you have oily skin, your skin can often tolerate a heavier product in this area. Finally, you can use a lip balm before going to bed to protect the moisture on your lips.
