Top 5 Rules for Oily Acne Prone Skin

But before we get into details of how to use each and every hand picked products to improve your skin condition, it is always important to take a look at what keywords and rules to remember when it comes to taking care of oily acne prone skin.So what are the keywords to keep in mind when it comes to taking care of acne-prone skin?1) Don’t block your pores
According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control Prevention, acne is defined as something “formed by sebum buildup in the pores”. We are constantly producing oil in our bodies which are released through our pores. So think about what will happen if the pores are blocked and all the oil can’t find its way out? There are many different factors that will block our pores; from excessive sweating, sunscreen or foundation not properly removed from the skin or even when dead skin cells build up excessively on the skin. So when oil can’t find its way out, the sebaceous glands below the skin will end up being inflamed and infected making it the shortcut to acne. So first and foremost, we must make sure oil is properly released out of the pores.2) Control sebum
Like mentioned previously, oil is secreted within our body and this is a very natural phenomenon. However, like the saying ‘too much is as bad as too little’, when there is excessive oil on our skin, it can be a cause of blocking pores and a broken balance of oil and water level on the skin. So it is very important to keep your water and oil balance on check and this can be done through healthy improvements in lifestyle and diet, however, what ingredients you choose to apply on your skin will have a massive influence. So, choosing products and ingredients that will hydrate your skin effectively yet has great oil and water balance is a key to preventing any further and future breakouts.3) Antibacterial & Anti-inflammatory is important
When it comes to dealing with acne, ‘antibacterial’ and ‘anti-inflammatory’ is a word you would like to keep in mind. When you have acne, skin gets easily irritated, inflamed and even be more infected. To avoid acne from getting worse (and to prevent if you don’t have any now), it is important to give antibacterial and anti-inflammatory care. These two care sounds like a very tricky skincare to do so, however, as long as you find the right ingredient it will make your skincare journey a lot easier.- Some ingredient recommendation for you
- ● Antibacterial care: Propolis, vitamin c ● Anti-inflammatory care: Centella asiatica, tea tree, bamboo charcoal powder
4) Soothing Care!
Does this sound a bit too cliche for you? Yes it might, however, if you look back your skincare routine and see carefully if you actually practice soothing care for your skin, you’ll be surprised to see the absence of soothing care. So why is it important and how do we do it? Adding soothing care to the skin is crucial for troubled and sensitized skin. You can consider soothing as calming as well and also you can consider it as cooling. There are certain ingredients that will works great for this care and among them is erythritol, beta glucan. As much as antibacterial and sebum controlling is important, never forget to soothe and comfort your skin!5) Keep skin safe at all times!
Last but not least! At all times, protect your skin from the sun rays. No matter what skin type you have, this will be one of the rules to never forget. The sun rays are stronger and can be more deadly than you can imagine. Not only notorious for accelerating skin aging, it can irritate, inflame and sensitize your skin making it even more prone to troubles.
