Oily skin: should it be moisturized?

 

What is oily skin?

Oily skin tends to shine all over the face (especially on the T zone: the forehead, nose and chin), it is prone to redness, blackheads and other imperfections, the skin texture is irregular.

The main problem with oily skin is excessive sebum production and dilated pores. Oily skin is therefore more prone to the appearance of imperfections.

The skin can be oily by nature but also become so due to stress, poor diet, pollution... All these factors influence the functioning of the epidermis.

When you have oily skin, you tend to want to dry it out and therefore use treatments that are too irritating (exfoliants, mattifying treatments, etc.) But the more the skin is attacked, the more sebum it will produce. Gentle purifying treatments are therefore to be preferred.
