TREATING OILY SKIN with GM Collin

Why Oily Skin Happens

People may have an overactive sebaceous gland, leading to excessive sebum production regardless of age or environmental factors.

To address oily skin, it’s important to adopt a proper skincare routine. This includes washing your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, avoiding harsh products that strip the skin of its natural oils, using oil-free and non-comedogenic moisturizers, and incorporating products containing ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to help control oil production and prevent breakouts.

Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, managing stress levels, and avoiding excessive sun exposure can also help in managing oily skin.

If oily skin persists and causes significant discomfort or self-esteem issues, it’s advisable to consult with a skincare specialist who can provide further guidance and recommend suitable treatments such professional procedures like chemical peels or other suitable treatments to address excessive oil production.

Best Skin Care Routine for Oily to acne prone Skin

Having a proper skincare routine is crucial for oily skin, which is prone to acne and acne scars. Here are some tips to maintain healthy skin:

  1. Cleanse: Wash your face twice a day using a gentle cleanser.

  2. Tone: Use a toner after cleansing to help balance the skin’s pH levels and remove excess oil.

  3. Sun protection: Apply sunscreen daily before going outdoors to prevent skin damage and protect against skin cancer.

  4. Moisturize: Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer after sunscreen to keep the skin hydrated throughout the day.

Remember, consistency is key when it comes to skincare. Stick to a routine that works for your oily skin and consult with a specialist for personalized advice and product recommendations.
