Beauties have you ever noticed that your skin gets oilier in winter?
From normal skin to oily skin, all skin types might get oilier and for good reason. The cold, dry winter air increases dryness and can actually be the cause of over-activity of the sebaceous glands, therefore oily skin. In response to drier ambient air, your skin kicks up production of its natural moisture-locking and protective oil.
As per Dr. Costi, “The thing to remember is that you can’t totally get rid of oily skin, but you should aim to keep your face shining with a healthy glow”. “Real, healthy skin doesn’t look like an Instagram filter. It needs to have enough sebum (oil) which performs an important function: to lubricate the skin, limit the growth of bacteria and prevent dryness and dehydration” adds Dr. Costi.
This Anti-bacterial face wash cleanses and balances oily, combination, acne-prone or teen skin without drying. Put your mind at ease and use it daily for fresh skin that glows with health.
This is true whether you have over-oily or over-dry skin.
Over-cleansing does not get rid of the oiliness, but it actually activates further oil production because when you cleanse so much, you remove the skin’s natural sebum reserves. Then your skin feels the need to rectify things by producing more.
Choose a gentle cleanser that will dissolve dirt and get rid of debris without disturbing your skin’s barrier function and natural moisture levels.
Extra tip: use a creamy cleanser with a soft, clean cloth, and dab with lukewarm water.
This purifying cleansing gel rids the skin of impurities and excess sebum. It’s a soap-free anti-imperfection formula to restore skin clarity and freshness.
“Something that can happen at the same time, is that skin can be oily and also dehydrated” explains Dr. Costi. That’s why it’s very essential to keep hydrating your skin, no matter your skin type.
What’s very important now when dealing with oily skin, is the choice of moisturizer when you’re worried about excess shine, blackheads and blemishes. So always choose a super light and hydrating gel or cream that will not clog your pores.
“This beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) plays an important role in controlling oil production and helps control excess oil” says Dr. Costi. This in turn reduces any appearance of blackheads and blemishes. “And it really works”.
Salicylic acid is also an anti-inflammatory which can clear-out excess oiliness deep from within the pores, preventing the congestion that comes with excess sebum.
