How does oily shine occur?

Oily shine occurs due to excessive sebum production, leading to shiny, oily skin. This condition can occur at any age but is particularly common during puberty and in individuals with oily skin. The main causes of oily shine are:

Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or due to certain medications can increase sebum production and lead to oily shine.

Genetic Predisposition: The tendency for oily skin can be hereditary. If your parents have oily skin, you are more likely to experience it as well.

Environmental Factors: High temperatures and humidity can boost sebum production and cause shiny skin.

Inappropriate Skincare: Using heavy, oily skincare products or skipping moisturizers can lead the skin to produce more sebum to compensate for moisture loss.

Diet: A diet high in fatty and sugary foods can stimulate sebum production and result in oily skin.

Balancing oily shine – How is it done?

There are several approaches to reduce oily shine and balance the skin:

Mattifying Products: Using specialized skincare products is crucial for reducing oily shine. Effective ingredients include:

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Reduces sebum production, refines pores, and improves skin texture.
Salicylic Acid (BHA): Penetrates deep into pores, removes excess oil and dead skin cells, and is particularly effective against blackheads and acne.
Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal): Regulate sebum production, promote cell renewal, and improve skin structure.
Lipase: An enzyme that helps break down excess sebum and keeps pores clean.
Subtilisin: An enzyme that gently exfoliates the skin and removes dead skin cells, making the skin smoother and less oily.

Effective Cleansing: A double cleansing routine with a foam cleanser and a facial toner is ideal for thoroughly removing excess oil and impurities without drying out the skin.

Oil-Free Moisturizers: Choose lightweight, oil-free moisturizers that hydrate the skin without making it greasy.

Regular Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and keep pores clear, reducing excess oil.

Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet, adequate sleep, and avoiding smoking can help balance the skin and reduce oily shine.

By regularly applying these measures, you can balance oily shine and achieve a matte, healthy-looking complexion.
