Oily skin on the face: symptoms, causes and treatment
Oily facial skin also known as seborrheic or oily skin is a particular type of skin with pronounced activity of the sebaceous glands. It is most noticeable on the face and forehead. The skin appears thick, shiny, with enlarged pores, blackheads and microcysts and is often reddened.
Oily skin is an important aesthetic disorder and usually runs in families.
What is sebaceous glands?
Sebaceous glands are tiny glands found in the skin. The function of the sebaceous glands is to produce sebum.
There is no scientific evidence linking food with oily skin.
How to treat oily skin on the face
Glicosal Lotion provides a micropeeling treatment that thins fleshy skin and reduces oiliness, all while eliminating redness, microcysts and blackheads.
Basically, the treatment for oily facial skin is as follows:
- In the evening, moisten a cotton disc with seven to ten drops of Glicosal Lotion. In gentle, circular movements, pass the disc across the whole face until the lotion is completely absorbed.
Do not rinse and do not apply other products. - In the morning, apply Soothing Cream to absorb excess sebum.
CLEANSING
Use the gentle, non-foaming Eudermic Cleansing Base as both a make-up remover and cleanser.
MAKE-UP
Use Argillina Sole, a compact, absorbent mineral powder that will help matt the face.
To be avoided
Avoid traditional classic moisturizers or foundation as they can worsen oily skin.
