Oily skin occurs when sebum production is too high. It is then covered with a greasy, shiny film. It also tends to have dilated pores. The specific features of this type of skin are not just aesthetic. The overproduction of sebum also creates a favorable environment for the appearance of imperfections. When pores become clogged, blackheads appear. Under these conditions, propionibacterium acnes, a bacterium naturally present on the skin, proliferates. Oily skin is therefore more prone to blemishes and pimples. An oily skin care product will help your skin regain its balance.

Sun protection is essential for all skin types, including oily skin. Choose an oily skin sunscreen with a light texture (to limit excess shine) and above all non-comedogenic. This means the product has been formulated with non-occlusive ingredients: they won't clog pores. For optimum protection, apply your sunscreen for oily skin every two hours. In the evening, don't forget to remove make-up, followed by a thorough cleansing to remove all traces of protective filters.

A few simple gestures can be used to create an oily skin care routine to combat both excess sebum and imperfections.

Make-up removal: this first step is crucial for oily skin. Use a gentle water-based make-up remover to remove impurities, make-up and excess sebum without aggressing your skin. Micellar water may be just the thing.

Cleansing: regular cleansing is essential to free the skin of impurities. Purifying Cleanser is a must for oily skin. Use it in the evening, after cleansing. If you're particularly prone to blemishes, morning cleansing is also recommended. Select a gentle cleanser to avoid aggressing the skin. An aggressive gel cleanser could have the opposite effect to that intended.

The serum: thanks to the light formula of a serum, you can meet the specific needs of your skin. For example, it can provide antioxidants or a moisturizing action thanks to hyaluronic acid. And don't forget astringent lotions to tighten pores and refine skin texture.

Moisturizing cream: yes, moisturizing cream is essential for oily skin! Moisturizing is a fundamental need for all skin types. To moisturize the skin without reinforcing shine, choose a light formula such as a fluid or emulsion. A formula that includes matifying active ingredients is ideal for daytime use.
