Guide to caring for oily skin

I leave you all the care that is fundamental to me for re-adherence oily skin-not only beauty products, but from the inside out, of course. Even if your skin is not considered oily, it is certain that it goes through phases in which it feels it and it is always good to know how to react to these phases.

How is oily skin?

Excessively bright and greasy. If you use makeup, you can feel that it is difficult to keep it on the skin. It means that our sebaceous glands are producing too much - more than enough to lubricate the skin and remove dead cells by releasing the excess along with sweat. 

If not properly cared for, the pores are clogged and wider, being more subject to the accumulation of dead cells, which can result in (or aggravate) black points, bubbles and acne, especially in the zone of the forehead, nose and chin. But there is also good news: the most oily skins have less tendency to wrinkles and premature aging. 

Skin cycles

It may not always have oily skin, but you can sometimes have it. This is because our skin goes through cycles. Start observing your skin at different stages of the menstrual cycle.

• During menstruation, maybe note dried skin, since the levels of progesterone and estrogen lower.

• After menstruation, increases estrogen production, which promotes the production of collagen, resulting in a skin firm and bright. 

• During ovulation, levels of collagen They remain high and there are those who feel more confident than ever. But also there may be some extra oiliness - Each body is a body. 

• After ovulation, the body begins to produce more progesterone, than Increases sebum production. We are more subject to pore obstruction and it is when those blatant bubbles appear on the most sight. 

In addition, there are also the external factors such as climate and pollution. Oh, and of course! The skin signals whenever something internally is not as well as it shouldTherefore taking care of food and nervous system is fundamental. 

Beauty routine for oily skin

1. Skin cleaning

For me, It is the most essential care to be with oily skin. Clean daily, in the morning and in the eveningIt allows to eliminate excess oil and open the pores so that they do not let impurities. 

1. Pass Organic cotton facial towel by hot water and squeeze. 

2. Cover the face with the towel to create steam and open the pores. 

3. Pass the towel again and squeeze. Pour a few drops from Camellian oil In the moist towel and wipe the face and neck, massaging the skin very gently. It will remove impurities and dead skin while moisturizing the skin in depth. 

2. Hydration

After facial cleaning, it is very important to reinforce hydration in the right way. It is common to avoid hydration when we see oily skin, but this can have the opposite effect and make the skin even more sebum. Therefore, hydration with a formula based on light oils that do not obstruct the pores It is ideal.

I advise to apply Regenerate, a light repairing balm, that helps balance the pH of the skin. It's very good for sensitive skin and acne cases or other inflammation, for containing essential oils like lavender, geranium and blue tansy.

For those who prefer Serums, the best option is the Repair. A light and delicate facial oil, this specially formulated serum for oily, sensitive and with clean acne, and moisturizes deeply, combats imperfections and helps balance pH while calming and fighting acne naturally. Gently place 2 to 4 drops on the cleanser and spread smoothly, always in rising movements.

The serum and cream can be used in the morning and evening and together, being ideal to apply the serum first and then the cream.

 3 . Face mask

Facial masks are a more sporadic but super important ritual. It is a concentrated way to clean the pores and moisturize the skin. Should make a face mask 2 times a week. 

For oily skin, I advise Luminous. Is based on açaí, a nutritious source of antioxidants, and honey, source of Vitamins and Minerals, with benefits anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Has properties that They moisturize the skin, calm inflammation, regenerate and tone the skin and uniform the complexion. You will immediately feel the softer and serene skin. 

4. Re-equilibrate internally

It is inevitable. If we only apply beauty products, we are just covering the sun with the sieve. We may feel some improvements, but they will never be so deep and lasting. 

I advise you to take Pure beauty. You can join 1 teaspoon in drinks or your usual breakfast. This mixture has AMLA, schisandra and açaí,  rich sources of vitamin C and E, which act as antioxidants, essential for Neutralize free radicals and favor collagen production and regeneration. 

Can also boost your daily hydration with the Gotas Beauty. They will strengthen your skin, making it brighter, elastic and with a more uniform complexion. 

THE food It is clear a key role in maintaining healthy skin. Bet on water -rich vegetables, like the cucumber, And in green (many green!), like spinach, broccoli and galega kale (the darker leaf), rich in fiber and great to detoxify. A lot of orange and lemon, because of Vitamin C, and banana, rich in potassium, phosphate and vitamin E. Good fat as avocado or dry fruits They are essential.

Avoid the maximum dairy Because, as they have many hormones, increase sebaceous production. Eliminate or control caffeine and alcohol consumption, because they leave it More dehydrated and so the skin can produce more oil to compensate. Needless Refined carbohydrates, processed sugars, excess salt and saturated fats are poor allies (For any skin, in fact) and so we must avoid them whenever we can. 

If you feel that you need extra help, Try the Detox drops, with chlorophyll that helps eliminate toxins, improve the digestive process and liver functions, and increases oxygenation.
