What to do if your skin is oily and has large pores? Six common mistakes to avoid

Some male friends will find that their faces tend to become "greasy" in the afternoon, with a lot of oil secreted on the face and enlarged pores. This is because male friends have made mistakes in daily skin care, resulting in an imbalance of water and oil on their faces. So what should we pay attention to in daily skin care?

1: Wash your face frequently to get rid of oiliness. Washing your face frequently is thought to improve the oiliness by increasing the frequency of washing, but the result is that the more you wash, the oilier your face becomes. This is because our skin itself has a certain function of regulating the "water and oil balance". When the skin is over-cleansed and a large amount of oil is washed away, the sebaceous glands will secrete more oil to replenish the lost oil, resulting in the embarrassing situation of more oiliness after washing.

2: Over-reliance on astringents Astringents containing alcohol can undoubtedly control oil secretion and shrink pores, but using them in autumn and winter may make the skin drier. If oil secretion is normal, you can use a refreshing toner or frozen distilled water instead.

3: Avoid oil-containing skin care products. Many people think that people with oily skin should not use moisturizers, but in fact, if you don’t apply a layer of protective film on your face, skin with large pores will be more susceptible to dust and dirt, and it will also make the skin prone to dehydration in winter. Avoid using thick creams or lotions, and use liquid, essence or gel formulas instead.

4: Only controlling oil without replenishing water 80% of oily skin is dehydrated, and this abundant oil will cover up the fact that the skin is dehydrated. If you only control oil without replenishing water, the body's balance system will naturally start to secrete more oil to replenish the large amount of lost oil, forming a vicious cycle of "the more you control, the more oily your skin becomes".

5: Use moisturizing spray continuously. Don't be misled by the "moisturizing" of moisturizing spray. In fact, moisturizing spray does not contain moisture-locking and moisturizing ingredients. Although you can feel the skin temporarily cool and moisturized by using moisturizing spray on your face continuously, when the water evaporates, it will take away the moisture on the surface of the skin, making the skin drier. Use it only when your skin feels particularly dry.

6: Lack of care for the T-zone The T-zone has always been a hard-hit area for oiliness, especially in the greasy summer. If it is not cared for, it will not only cause oiliness, but also enlarged pores, frequent blackheads, redness and swelling. You can choose a T-zone special care product that contains more oil-suppressing and oil-controlling ingredients.

1: Limit fatty foods and sweets, such as fatty meat, cream cakes, chocolate, etc., and eat more vegetables and fruits.

2: Wash your face every night with warm water and a small amount of sulfur soap or boric acid soap. It removes facial grease and cleanses the skin.

3: It is worth noting that you should eat foods rich in vitamins, especially foods rich in vitamin A, such as pork liver, carrots, egg yolks, etc., to correct abnormal sebum keratinization of hair follicles and prevent clogging of hair follicles.
