How to recognize your skin type?
Understanding skin types is essential for choosing the right skincare products and establishing an effective routine. Each skin type has its own needs, and a proper diagnosis can help you avoid irritation while finding what facial care is right for you.
Oily skin is characterized by an overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands, which can lead to a shiny appearance and enlarged pores. While it has some advantages, such as often slower aging, it can also pose challenges, including blemishes and blackheads.
You have oily skin if:
Excessive shine, especially on the T-zone, forehead, nose, and chin, and your makeup tends not to last all day.
Enlarged pores, more visible due to sebum and impurity buildup related to daily aggressions such as pollution, dust, or bacteria.
Lifestyle: certain factors like smoking, stress, fatigue, or a diet too rich in saturated fats and refined sugar can promote this skin imbalance.
Frequent imperfections: you are more prone to comedones, blackheads, and other imperfections due to pore obstruction.
Texture: your skin is often thicker.
Main causes
Genetics
Hormones, especially during puberty, the menstrual cycle, or pregnancy, can increase sebum production.
Climate: hot and humid environments can accentuate sebum production. Overexposure to the sun can also cause hyperseborrhea.
Inappropriate products: using overly aggressive products can lead to an imbalance, prompting the skin to produce even more sebum to protect itself.
