Oily skin is essentially skin with an excess of sebum. Aesthetically, oily skin tends to have a shinier appearance than other skin types and generally has a higher risk of developing pimples or acne.

As with all skin types, it is important to maintain constant facial care, but in the case of oily skin, specific products should be used according to its particular characteristics.

How to take care of oily skin?

At Aloe Plus Lanzarote you will find all the natural products you need to care for oily skin. But it is also important to be aware of the most notable characteristics of each product in order to know what is best for you.

• Oily skin tends to have enlarged pores and a greater proliferation of blackheads.

• The dermis is usually moist and shiny, especially on the nose, cheeks and forehead.

• It often gives the impression of being dirty, even if the skin is completely clean.

• It is more prone to developing pimples and acne.

With these characteristics in mind, it is important to maintain an oily skin care routine with the right products. It is also important to follow general care guidelines to minimise risks:

• Choose moisturising, non-greasy foundations for your make-up.

• Take advantage of the benefits of an exfoliating scrub once a week.

• Maintain a healthy diet, low in sugars and fats, which can encourage the development of oil on the skin.

• Maintain good hydration to benefit your skin.

• Apply sunscreen and try to reduce direct sun exposure, as sweating triggers sebaceous gland activity.

Facial care routine for oily skin

Follow these tips in your facial routine for perfect oily skin care:

• Always prioritise cleansing the face with neutral and natural products that respect the PH levels. Our handmade aloe vera soap will also help to cleanse your face of impurities and reduce the feeling of oily skin.

• Take advantage of moisturisers that are oil-free.

• Incorporate exfoliating scrub into your facial routine at most once or twice a week. This can help remove accumulated sebum.

• We advise you to follow the facial care routine with an aloe and white clay mask for a deep cleanse.
