Wishtrend has finally curated a full skincare routine concerning primarily the different skin types: dry skin, oily skin, and sensitive skin. I am #TeamOily and if you are too then we should be skincare buddies (kidding, but also not joking, I mean we could really be buddies!)
I am not entirely #TeamOily skin type. To explain it further, I have combination-to-oily skin and I also have a skin concern known as dehydrated skin. Dehydrated skin means the lack of water on the skin so even though I have oily skin I still get that flaky and itchy feeling caused by the environment I’m surrounded with, and my lifestyle, i.e. not drinking the amount of water needed for the day. Furthermore, with dehydrated skin, my fine lines appear more visible which sucks, by the way, but I don’t really stress about it too much. You should too if we’re on the same page!
#TeamOily sucks as much as having the other different skin type. But before you head and check this blog, you should know first what your skin type is! For starters, here are some indications that you have oily skin:
- You look like you’ve been poured by oil by the afternoon and you notice oil traces after using your phone.
- You have enlarged pores on your T-zone: forehead, nose, chin, and even cheeks.
- You get more breakouts (pimples or acne).
Sounds like you? Then head off until the last part of this blog as we tackle what are the things you can do to manage your skin’s excessive sebum production (which leads to numerous oily skin concerns), and which products should you consider trying out as curated by the Wishtrend fam.
First and foremost, go for a minimal routine! Personally, I love this kind of routine because I am able to know more about how my skin reacts to new products.
Second, get rid of excess natural sebum by using an oil-based cleanser. This doesn’t only cleans the surface of your skin but also helps sips the oil off your pores. Follow the oil-based cleanser with a water-based cleanser to get rid of dirt and impurities. Double cleanse during your nighttime routine especially when you use makeup. Make sure to use the right products that don’t strip off the moisture from your skin. Consider checking out the double-cleansing duo below. I got the full review of each product linked.
Third, exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin cells and also excess natural sebum. Go for products with AHAs just as long as you know your skin can tolerate them. Glycolic acid may be too harsh if your skin isn’t used to it so go slow and try out a Mandelic Acid exfoliator. Remember to exfoliate once or twice a week so it doesn’t irritate your skin.
If you’re not doing the exfoliation step, go for a hydrating toner. Once your skin is perfectly cleansed, it’s time to prepare your skin for the next steps and toners are a perfect addition to help your skin absorbed the next products.
Fourth, antioxidant care is still important. Go for antioxidants that will help repair your skin barrier from exfoliation. Personally, for me, Dear, Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Antioxidant Serum should be a wonderful addition as I’m in need of a product to treat my visible fine lines and wrinkles. I’ll be sharing a full review of this soon so stay tuned!
Last but definitely not least, if you have oily skin you still need to hydrate! However, choose moisturizers that are lightweight and don’t give you that heavy, clogged feeling. Since I have dehydrated skin, I need to hydrate so my skin doesn’t overproduce natural sebum as it can feel that my skin is dry. Our skin is intelligent to know this kind of stuff but it doesn’t really know that it’s doing worse even though it thought it’s the best thing to do. You should do your job and help your skin too!
Oh, and yes, sunscreen in the morning! Pick out the best sunscreen you know your oily skin loves be it a physical or chemical sunscreen.
In summary, this is to guide you to the “upper” basics of treating your oily skin. It is minimal yet effective. I personally think that you don’t need to go overboard as oily skin tends to get clogged more easily. Go easy on layering your products and go for lightweight textures!
