1. Choice of water-based products
Moisturizing products contain several active ingredients of reliable origin, infused with oils. The American Academy of Dermatology.
People with oily skin will benefit from products that are high in moisturizers rather than oils. Honey and urea are examples of moisturizers in skin care products.
Oil-based products contain petroleum jelly, coconut oil, and other types of oil. They effectively hydrate the skin, but may not be suitable for people with oily skin and large pores. The excess oil that accumulates on the skin can enlarge the pores.
2.Wash your face in the morning and evening
Washing your face is a basic skin care routine. AAD recommends the following:
washing your face up to twice a day or more often after
sweating or playing sports
use warm water and gently apply the cleanser with clean
fingers
Choose a mild, non-abrasive, alcohol-free cleaner.
avoiding rubbing or rubbing the skin
Pat dry your face with a clean towel.
Washing your face every morning and night helps remove oil and dirt from your pores. This will help make them less visible.
3. Choose a gel-based cleanser.
The gel-based cleanser is suitable for people with oily skin who want less visible pores. It is best to avoid oil-based or alcohol-based cleansers as they can irritate the skin.
A moisturizing cleanser can leave residue in pores and increase the oiliness of your skin. A gel-based cleanser helps remove oil from pores, reducing their appearance.
4. Scrub
A person with oily skin should exfoliate once or twice a week to remove impurities that can clog pores, such as:
land
dead skin cells
excess oil
Suitable Products A reliable source may contain:
beta hydroxy acids such as salicylic acid
polyhydroxy acids such as lactobionic acid and
gluconolactone, which help to strengthen the skin's barrier function
mandelic acid, for sensitive skin
Over-the-counter (OTC) products typically contain 7-10% of a reliable source of the active ingredient. Too high a percentage can irritate the skin, although a dermatologist may prescribe a stronger formulation than over-the-counter drugs.
It is important not to exfoliate more than twice a week as this can dry out your skin. While exfoliation helps keep the pores open, pores may appear larger if the skin becomes too dry.
5. Daily hydration.
The idea of moisturizing oily skin may seem counterintuitive. However, an oil-free moisturizer can help shrink enlarged pores.
First, the person should wash and pat the skin dry, and then gently apply a moisturizer to help moisturize and soften the skin. This allows the oil from the sebaceous glands to penetrate deeper into the skin, rather than staying in the pores on the surface.
Thus, hydration prevents oil from clogging the pores,
reducing their appearance.
