- 3 min reading time
Do you think you have oily skin? Here are the signs:
- Your skin shines and also feels (very) greasy
- You regularly suffer from impurities
- You suffer from large andvisible pores
- Your makeup doesn't adhere well to your skin
Every day your skin produces sebum. Sebum ensures that your skin remains supple and is protected from drying out. Oily skin produces too much sebum. If you suffer from oily skin, other annoying impurities often appear, such as pimples and blackheads. These are caused by so much sebum being produced that your skin cannot process it.
These are all very annoying characteristics. Which nobody really likes. Fortunately, we explain in this blog what the causes can be and how you can best care for your skin. In addition, at Boozyshop we sell the perfect products that help reduce, care for and protect oily skin .
Major Causes of Oily Skin
- Your age and your gender
- Your diet, too much unhealthy food
- Hormonal fluctuations, for example during puberty
- Heredity, oily skin can be hereditary
Care always starts with a good cleaning
It is important to cleanse oily skin well. Cleanse your skin well in the morning and evening with a mild cleanser .
Often a too aggressive cleansing product is used, this causes your skin to dry out extremely, which ultimately only produces more sebum. That is why we always recommend going for a mild product with purifying but also hydrating properties.
Choose a suitable serum for your skin
A serum gives your skin an extra boost. Especially for oily skin with many impurities, a serum can provide a lot of relief. There are many serums especially for skin with impurities, spots or acne. Curious? Then click here for all serums for oily skin.
Always end your routine with a good cream
Use a mattifying day cream . A good day cream for oily skin retains moisture and absorbs excess sebum. It also reduces shine, which makes your skin look healthier and helps your makeup stay on better. Make sure you also hydrate your skin sufficiently. For this, you can also choose a rich night cream that soothes your skin.
Add a mask to your routine every now and then
A suitable mask gives good results for oily skin. Depending on the mask, you can use it once or several times a week. A clay mask is recommended for oily skin with impurities. These masks ensure that excess sebum is removed, but do not affect the skin. This gives you a smooth and soothed skin. Click here for all masks for impure/oily skin.
Additional tips
- When cleaning oily skin, it is wise not to use wet washcloths. This activates friction with the sebum.
- Sleep is very important so make sure you get enough hours of rest. You can also take care of your skin during the night, for example by using a Beauty P illow . This pillowcase ensures that your skin stays calm and clean during the night.
- Also pay close attention to your diet; unhealthy food can have a very bad effect on your skin.
- And of course stress is also a culprit. Try to avoid or reduce stress as much as possible.
