In this guide, we'll delve into the specifics of oily skin care, recommend suitable products, and introduce you to Larkly's innovative Powder SPF to keep your skin protected and flawless.
Understanding Oily Skin
First things first, let's understand what causes oily skin. Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous glands produce excess sebum, an oily substance that helps moisturize and protect the skin. Factors such as genetics, hormonal fluctuations, diet, and stress can contribute to oily skin.
Let’s get into it! Here are some tips for Oily Skin
Cleanse Gently, but Thoroughly: Use a gentle cleanser specifically formulated for oily skin, preferably one with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Cleansing twice daily helps remove excess oil, dirt, and impurities without stripping the skin.
Use a Lightweight Moisturizer: Contrary to popular belief, oily skin still needs hydration and lots of it. Opt for oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers that won't clog pores. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which provide hydration without adding greasiness.
Incorporate Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation helps unclog pores and remove dead skin cells, preventing breakouts and promoting cell turnover. Choose chemical exfoliants like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) over physical scrubs, as they are gentler on oily skin.
Spot Treat Breakouts: Treat acne spots with products containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These ingredients help reduce inflammation, unclog pores, and speed up the healing process. Even though it is tempting, try not to touch or pop your acne as it will leave marks!
Don't Skip Sunscreen: Contrary to popular belief, oily skin needs sun protection too. Opt for lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreens with at least SPF 30. Sunscreen helps prevent sun damage, premature aging, and hyperpigmentation. And luckily Larkly is the perfect product for this!
