In the previous article in our series, which focuses on different skin types, we looked at caring for dry skin. In today’s article, we’ll look atoily skin.
If you struggle every day with unwanted shine on your face and blocked pores, today’s article is for you. Discover with ESSENS what your skin type needs, so that every time you look in the mirror, you’ll be pleased with what you see.
There are several different causesbehind excessive skin oil production, usually occurring in various combinations:
genetics,
hormones,
the use of unsuitable cosmetics,
the time of year and the environment,
lack of hydration,
a poor diet over the long term.
However, it’s worth noting that oily skin can also have certain advantages. This skin type ages more slowly, has natural elasticity, and current trends favour the “glow look” and “glass skin”/strong>- looks that those with oily skin are much closer to achieving than others.
Oil-free hydration and a natural elixir for skin renewal. Aloe vera and Colostrum.
Aloe vera is a natural wonder and willingly helps even oily skin by providing pure hydration. But it can do much more.
Colostrum works as a biological elixir, overflowing with valuable and beneficial substances that aren’t just good for the immune system. It also offers plenty of other benefits for oily skin.
Try this simple home test using a paper tissue. Ideally, carry it out at room temperature, and not immediately after exercising or showering, so that the results aren’t affected.
Wash your face with clean, slightly warm water.
Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel - do not rub.
Do not use any cosmetics - creams or serums - for 30-60 minutes.
Check the result.
Can you see a noticeable shine on your face? Place a single thin layer of tissue paper on your face. Press it gently against all areas of your face. Then hold the tissue up to the light. If you can see oily patches not only in the T-zone but also on your cheeks, you have oily skin.
UEnjoy the moments when you touch your beautiful skin and devote your time to it. Before you get started, don’t forget a few rules.
make-up remover,
gentle cleansing gel,
toner,
light moisturiser/sorbet/gel,
light SPF cream.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) – regulates sebum production.
Hyaluronic acid - moisturises without clogging pores.
Salicylic acid (BHA) – cleanses pores from the inside.
Zinc - helps mattify the skin.
AHA acids - remove dead skin cells.
Retinol – smooths the skin’s texture.
Your morning skincare routine refreshes the skin, provides hydration and generally prepares it for the day without excessive shine.
At night, the skin renews, regenerates and cleanses itself. Support this process with the right skincare routine.
For oily skin, light, mattifying make-up is best, as it won’t block your pores.
Use a plain paper tissue during the day and simply press it (DO NOT rub, DO NOT wipe) against your face to absorb excess oil. This will remove shine without disturbing your make-up.
What will you try? A home test, or will you top up your supplies of the most powerful ESSENS products, kto pamper your skin in luxury? You’ll be glowing with joy the next time you walk past a mirror. It’s up to you!
