More often than not, facial cleanser are mostly the essential part to our body wellness or rather our image.
Too much oil will put us in these following situations- use plenty of blotter ( the so-call oil remover )
- washing our face 5-6 times a day with facial cleanser ( just to remove the oil )
- put on thicker make-up and always touch up with plenty of loose powder
Above solutions mentioned are HARMFUL and would create more oil on our face.
If you find that your face is getting more oily,
NEVER do the steps as mentioned above
Because these would worsen the situation
Our face actually has the thinnest layers of skin among all areas, especially our eyes.
These are the symptoms you should look out for if you have excessive oily face.
- oil bubbles around eyes area
- face is over shiny
Due to the humidity / weather in Southeast Asia, i would recommend the following solutions to oily face:
- Wash your face with cleanser NOT MORE THAN twice / thrice a day !
- USE ONLY normal tissue to dap your face instead of blotter !
- DO NOT use moisturising cream excessively.
( For Southeast asia weather, use only at night, before you sleep )
- Dap your face with tissue to remove oil before touching-up with loose powder.Here are the reasons,
The more loose powder you use to cover your oily face would make your skin breath harder for more oxygen. The oil on your face is actually to protect your skin, if your face finds that the oil is being removed too fast, they would create more oil the next time.
So imagine you remove oil very fast once your face starts to oil and protect themselves, they would then be signaled to give out more oil. I have a cousin that actually washes her face 6 times everyday and use the blotter excessively to blot her face from oil every 1 hour. And the oil layer on her face grew fast enough to fry an egg every 1-2 hours !
So i advise her that she should wash the oil off with water or just gently clean or dap them with tissue paper instead. The faster you remove the oil, the Oiler it gets !Knowing how our body functions is very important. Before you know you're doing them good, they actually are malfunctioning by the way you handle them ! Also drink plenty of water to moisturize your skin instead of letting your skin to generate more oil to moisturize themselves.
