How to Take Care of Oily Skin – Top Creams and Tips for Shine-Free Skin

What Is the Best Oily Skin Care – Oily Skin Tips and Treatment Guide! How to select the best cream?

There are, in theory, four main skin types:

• Dry

• Normal

• Oily

• Combination

It is based on the activity of our sebaceous glands — which may work very intensely or barely work at all, in the rabbit warren of nodules and channels that is the skin.

There are also skin types:

• Vascular (prone to redness)

• Dehydrated

• Sensitive

These classification subtypes are typically brief and refer to details of the rash, such as overall spread, depressed tips or mites that cause the condition.

Back to Oily Skin…

It may not be so very intuitive, but oily skin produces the extra sebum because it would like to be hydrated. And that’s why overly drying it out or constantly mattifying it might be self-sabotaging. The trick in treating oily skin is maintaining an environment where your sebaceous glands aren’t multiplying sebum. Sebum is not in itself bad. Let's not forget it creates a healthy hydrolipidic film, necessary to maintain harmonious relationships between our body and the nightmarish outside world. It also gives a natural sheen.

There is truth to the idea that excess sebum is an issue, though the solution couldn’t be more counterintuitive: the secret to eliminating it is proper hydration.

So, when picking a cream, we should be searching for a list of ingredients that control for sebum production, and not merely cover up the oil. Things to look for:

• Salicylic acid

• Azelaic acid

• Niacinamide (at low strengths)

Products that boost it should be on the light side and not clog pores.

Cleansing is a Fundamental Part of Your Skincare Routine

Cleansing is the first and essential step of any skincare routine. It tells our skin what to do with such a bath. Products that are abrasive (such as soap because of its high pH) or highly acidic should give short-term relief, but the problem will return worse than it was.
