Misconceptions and tips on oil control for men's face

Combination and oily skin: 67% of Chinese men have oily skin

The face is often shiny and oily, with large pores, rough skin, thick sebum and prone to acne and wrinkles. Combination skin has oily T-zone and acne, while the rest of the skin is dry. The key to oily and combination skin is to balance oil secretion, clean and tighten pores. For daily cleansing, choose a facial cleanser that feels refreshing after use.

TIPs: 3 common misunderstandings about men’s facial washing

A. Use hot water to thoroughly cleanse your face

If you often wash your face with very hot water, the "protective film" on your face will be washed away. It is best to use warm water to clean your face. In this way, the gas dissolved in it is reduced by about 1/2 compared to before boiling. At this time, the water quality is very close to the water in the skin cells, and it is easier to penetrate into the skin.

B. Use alkaline cleansers to remove oil from your face

The sebaceous glands and sweat glands of the skin are a natural protective film, slightly acidic, and have a strong antibacterial and skin-protecting effect. Alkaline cleansers will destroy it and stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. Therefore, it is recommended that men choose a mild facial cleanser to wash their face.

C. Only by washing your face with a towel can you wash it cleanly.

The fleece of a towel is tens to hundreds of times larger than the pores, so it is difficult to penetrate the pores and remove the dirt and grease deep inside. Towels that have been wet for a long time are more conducive to the growth of various microorganisms. Washing your face with a wet towel is equivalent to applying various bacteria to your face. It is best to wash your face with a soft cleansing cotton and dry it frequently to disinfect it.

Different skin types should choose different cleansing methods. Choose the correct face washing method to be a fresh and clean man.
