Basically, oily skin produces too much sebum. This oily substance is actually a natural protectant for the skin – which needs it to stay supple and healthy. But if there's too much sebum, it can clog pores and cause inflammation on the skin surface. As a result, blemishes appear. Oily skin is a common skin type characterised by excessive sebum production. Several factors can contribute to this condition:
Hormonal Imbalances: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, can stimulate sebaceous glands to produce more oil.
Genetics: A genetic predisposition can make individuals more prone to oily skin.
Climate: Hot and humid weather can exacerbate oil production.
Diet: A diet high in greasy or sugary foods may contribute to increased oiliness.
Stress: Stress can trigger the body to produce more cortisol, a hormone that can stimulate sebum production.
Certain Medications: Some medications can have side effects that increase oil production.
By understanding these factors, you can take steps to manage your oily skin and achieve a clearer, healthier complexion.

How to choose the right products for oily, blemish-prone skin
To restore balance to oily
skin, make sure you avoid harsh skincare products, as these can dry it out.
Instead, opt for skincare products that help to control sebum production while
keeping your skin well hydrated.
Botanical oils such as
jojoba oil or evening primrose, nigella oil are ideal for both balancing and
purifying the skin, without clogging pores. There are also natural active
ingredients like zinc and propolis, which help to purify the skin
while also providing antibacterial action. Other ingredients such as
Niacinamide help regulate oil production. Salicylic acid exfoliates. Neroli and
helichrysum hydrosols are known for their healing and soothing properties,
while tea tree oil, sage and witchhazel extracts can help to reduce
blemishes and tone the skin, so that pores are less visible.
These ingredients are
just a few examples of what nature can provide to care for oily and
blemish-prone skin.
Your ideal skincare routine to get rid of blemishes
A well-structured skincare
routine is essential for oily, blemish-prone skin.
In the evening, begin with double cleansing. Use a micellar
water to remove makeup, then a gentle cleansing gel to remove impurities without
damaging the skin. And what better product to do this than our best seller, Refresh
and Renew Miceller Water? Our gentle purifying facial cleanser is ideal for
combination and oily, blemish-prone skin.
In the morning, simply use a lightweight toner to refresh
your skin without upsetting its balance. Follow with a serum such as Plumping
and Intensive Hydrating Serum with Hyaluronic Acid, which contains natural
ingredients (zinc, chaulmoogra oil and arrabidaea chica, also known as crajiru)
to treat blemishes.
Apply a non-comedogenic, light moisturising cream to keep
skin hydrated. A non-greasy, water-based, moisturizing gel could also make a
good alternative.
Good to know: blemish-prone
skin needs to be gently exfoliated. Once every two weeks, exfoliate with a gentle
exfoliant, then apply a purifying mask to deeply cleanse your skin. This
simple routine will help you to control sebum and prevent blemishes, but also
maintain a good water-oil balance.

A few tips to help you deal with minor blemishes and oily skin
Here are a few tips to help you manage minor blemishes and oily skin:
1. Gentle Cleansing:
Cleanse twice daily: Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
Warm water: Lukewarm water is best for cleansing as it won't strip your skin's natural oils.
2. Exfoliate Regularly:
Chemical exfoliants: Look for products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to gently exfoliate dead skin cells.
Physical exfoliants: Use a gentle scrub 2-3 times a week to remove dead skin cells.
3. Moisturize Daily:
Oil-free moisturizer: Choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to hydrate your skin without clogging pores.
Hyaluronic acid: This ingredient can help hydrate your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
4. Spot Treatment:
Benzoyl peroxide: This over-the-counter ingredient can help kill bacteria that cause acne.
Salicylic acid: This ingredient can help unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
Tea tree oil: This natural remedy can help soothe inflammation and reduce the appearance of blemishes.
5. Healthy Lifestyle Habits:
Balanced diet: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help improve your skin's overall health.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
Stress management: Practice relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation to reduce stress, which can contribute to skin problems.
3 points to remember:
1- Excess sebum production is usually due to hormonal and environmental factors, and is the main cause of blemishes.
2- Make sure you have a balanced skincare routine, with products that are both gentle and non-comedogenic, to help control sebum in oily skin.
3- Use skincare products formulated with natural and organic ingredients to treat blemishes without damaging the skin.
Remember to be patient and consistent with your skincare routine. It may take several weeks to see significant improvement.
