Oily and greasy skin

what is oily or greasy skin?

Enlarged pores and increased shine are typical characteristics of oily or greasy skin, also known as seborrhea. Sebum production is stronger here than in normal skin , often in combination with more sweating.

Oily skin usually has genetic or hormonal causes. This is also the reason why around 20 to 30 percent of young people tend to have oily skin, at least for a while: puberty and hormones activate the sebaceous glands - and they first have to find their way.

Unfortunately, due to excessive sebum and the potential for inflammation, greasy, oily skin is often impure and prone to blackheads, pimples and acne. One consolation for people with oily skin is that their skin forms wrinkles a little more slowly.

WHAT CARE FOR OILY AND OILY SKIN?

The principle of caring for greasy and oily skin is balance. The aim is to bring oily skin back to normal skin condition. You can do this by influencing sebum production through your care and combating the potential for inflammation.

To get greasy, oily skin under control, you should use care products that slightly degrease your skin but do not dry it out. Otherwise the skin would immediately become greasy - and that would be counterproductive.

Mild cleaners with a slightly acidic pH value are helpful here. You should also complete the cleansing with a gentle moisturizer to prevent skin dryness and thus greasiness.

TIPS FOR OILY SKIN

Tip 1: Gentle peelings

In order to clear the skin pores and remove excess sebum, it is worth occasionally peeling for oily skin. It is important that it does not dry out the skin, otherwise the skin condition will worsen. For an effective peeling, four drops of lemon juice mixed with a tablespoon of sugar or a natural Konjac sponge will help.

Tip 2: Gentle cleaning

The aim of facial cleansing is to remove excess oils and sebum as well as impurities from the skin without damaging it or drying it out. Your facial cleansing must be intensive, mild and pH-neutral. So it depends on the recipe: Kaolin mud and activated carbon have proven themselves as they have a deep effect and are gentle on the skin.

Tip 3: Moisture

Dryness leads to an undesirable counter-effect in greasy and oily skin: it becomes even greasier. After cleansing your face, it is even more important that you provide your skin with valuable moisture. This shows her that she doesn't need to re-grease her skin to keep it in good condition. A well-formulated moisturizer hydrates your skin with urea and hyaluronic acid.

Tip 4: Less inflammation

Greasy and oily skin is prone to inflammation - and is therefore more prone to breakouts than normal skin. Your care products should therefore definitely be antibacterial and inhibit inflammation. Vitamin C, E and trace elements such as zinc help you keep pimples at bay if you have oily skin.

Received, unpacked and tested immediately; Just a dream. I love The concept. Great quality, a cream that is tailored exactly to my needs and very effective. I noticed the first improvements after just one week: softer, smooth skin, fewer wrinkles in the morning and fewer pimples in the forehead area. Thanks, will definitely order again.

My dermatologist advised me to do more for my mature skin. I came across Sober on the internet. I have been using the Hydra Defense face cream for 2 months. With success! I'm very satisfied. Thanks!

Timeshift Anti-Aging Serum - A great product for daily skin care. The serum has a pleasant smell, perhaps due to the green tea extract it contains. I have applied it daily and it feels very comfortable on the skin. Great product and would be happy again...

Best facewash I have ever used

Ernest H.

Risking to sound too overexcited, this is really the best I've tried! My skin feels very soft even after the first use, and the effect never disappoints. Redness has improved considerably; pores, too. Additionally to daily cleaning, once a week I leave it on my skin for a few minutes, and I can feel a good but gentle peeling effect. Simply everything is nice about it, including packaging, look, smell etc. One small space for improvement: the dispenser sometimes chokes or gives out very little, but it recovers after another push.
