How do I recognize oily skin?

Oily skin is characterized by an excessive production of sebum, which leads to a shiny complexion, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin). The pores are often enlarged and there is a tendency towards blackheads and spots. Oily skin can feel oily and make-up often does not last long. The skin may still need moisturizing and should not be treated with harsh products that could dry it out.

Causes of oily skin

The main cause of oily skin is an overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands. This can be genetic, but can also be exacerbated by hormonal changes, stress, an unbalanced diet or incorrect skin care. Hormonal fluctuations, especially during puberty, can stimulate sebum production. An unbalanced diet with high fat and sugar consumption can also contribute to oily skin.

Thorough cleansing is the most important step in the care of oily skin. It is important to remove excess sebum, dirt and make-up without drying out the skin. To do this, use a mild cleansing water such as Witch Hazel Water, which refines the pores and soothes the skin.

Tips against oily skin

To get oily skin under control, it is important to choose the right skincare and adjust some lifestyle habits:

• Gentle cleansing: Use mild cleansing products that do not dry out the skin.
• Regular exfoliation: Gentle exfoliation 1-2 times a week can help remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.
• Oil-free products: Choose non-comedogenic, lightweight skincare products that won't clog pores.
• Balanced diet: Reduce your intake of fatty and sugary foods and drink plenty of water.
• Don't wash too often: Washing too often can dry out the skin and stimulate sebum production.

With the right care and a few lifestyle adjustments, oily skin can be significantly improved.
