How to recognize oily skin
Oily skin is one of the most common skin types and is characterized by skin that is shiny all over, while its surface is uneven. This is due to an overproduction of sebum, which leads to open and clogged pores, creating an environment conducive to the spread of bacteria. Hence why it’s not uncommon to have oily skin that is also prone to blemishes.
How should you cleanse oily skin?
Cleansing the skin is essential, and if you have oily skin, you need to be extra careful about how you do this. To avoid stimulating sebum production, it’s recommended that you deeply cleanse once a day (in the evening), using a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser. To deep-cleanse pores, it’s also highly recommended that you use a face scrub suitable for oily skin once a week. Just make sure you choose a scrub for oily skin that’s gentle! It it’s too harsh, it will irritate or strip the skin, and this will simply encourage it to produce more sebum…
