Facial oil plays a crucial role in maintaining the resilience and suppleness of your skin, contributing to the possible reduction of the appearance of wrinkles. However, an excess of oil can lead to pore congestion, paving the way for acne breakouts. Therefore, striking a delicate equilibrium between preserving your skin's natural moisture and preventing an overabundance of oil is essential for a healthy complexion.

Aside from maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, having the right skincare products on hand can be beneficial. This is where Paula’s Choice oil control products can be beneficial. Our catalogue consists of moisturizers, cleansers, toners, and face creams that can address the unique needs of oily skin. Integrated into your regimen, they can help manage your face’s oil production to balance out your skin’s needed moisture. 

What Causes Oily Skin?

Oily skin is often the result of overactive sebaceous glands, which produce an excess of sebum. Several factors contribute to this condition:

• Genetics - Some individuals are genetically predisposed to have oilier skin due to inherited traits.
• Hormonal Changes - Hormonal fluctuations, such as those during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy, can lead to increased oil production.
• Environmental Factors - Hot and humid climates, common in Singapore, can stimulate sebum production, exacerbating oily skin.
• Incorrect Skincare - Using harsh or drying skincare products on oily skin may prompt it to produce more oil to compensate for the loss of moisture.

How Can Oily Skin Be Managed?

Establishing a consistent skincare routine and incorporating lifestyle adjustments are pivotal for effectively managing oil production, especially for individuals with oily skin types. Embracing these practices can significantly contribute to the overall health and balance of your skin.

Gentle Cleansing

Use a mild, non-comedogenic face wash for your oily skin. Make sure to wash your face twice a day. Moreover, avoid using harsh soaps or abrasive scrubs that can stimulate more oil production.

Exfoliation

Incorporate exfoliation into your routine to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. Salicylic acid and glycolic acid are effective exfoliating ingredients for oily skin.

Oil-Free Moisturizers

Choose lightweight, oil-free moisturizers to hydrate your oily skin. It is recommended that you go for products with hyaluronic acid or glycerin.

Balanced Diet

Maintain a balanced diet with a focus on whole foods, fruits, and vegetables. Limit the intake of sugary and greasy foods, as they can contribute to oiliness.

Hydration

Stay hydrated by drinking enough water throughout the day. Proper hydration can help regulate oil production.

Sunscreen

Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily. Sunscreen helps protect the skin from UV damage and can prevent it from producing more oil as a defence mechanism.

Stress Management

Practice stress-reducing activities such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing, as stress can contribute to increased oil production.

Regular Exercise

Engage in regular physical activity to promote overall skin health. Sweating can help cleanse the pores, but make sure to cleanse your face afterwards.

Consult a Dermatologist

If oily skin persists or is accompanied by severe acne, consider consulting a dermatologist. They can provide personalised advice and prescribe medications if needed.
