4.Emergency treatment: Oil-absorbing paper should be used no more than 3 times/day, and should be used by pressing rather than wiping.
5.living habits: Guarantee deep sleep from 23:00-3:00. This period is the golden period for skin repair.
5. Common misunderstandings about oil control
•Misunderstanding 1: "Oil skin does not need moisturizing" - In fact, oily skin that is dehydrated will secrete more oil to compensate.
•Misunderstanding 2: "Frequent face washing can control oil" - excessive cleansing will destroy the skin barrier
•Misunderstanding 3: "Oil-absorbing paper will make the skin oilier" - correct use will not stimulate sebaceous glands
•Misunderstanding 4: "Oily skin does not develop wrinkles" - Oily skin only has wrinkles that appear later and still needs anti-aging care.
By analyzing the recent hot discussions on the Internet, we can see that scientific oil control requires a multi-dimensional approach. It is recommended that people with oily skin undergo professional skin testing every quarter and adjust their care plan according to the activity of sebaceous glands. Remember, moderate amounts of oil are actually the skin's natural protective layer, and balance is the key to healthy skin.
