How and why it's necessary to moisturize oily skin

If you have oily skin and are afraid to moisturize it for fear it will become even oilier, you should know that you are acting incorrectly. Oily skin, like dry or combination skin, needs hydration. When skin is properly hydrated, a layer forms that protects our skin from external agents, such as cold or pollution, preventing it from having to produce more sebum to protect itself. However, if you have oily skin, you cannot use the same cream as those with drier skin. That's why you should purchase a special cream for oily skin that does not use ingredients in its formulation that could increase sebum production. Before choosing a cream that suits your complexion, you need to know if your skin is truly oily or combination.

How to tell if your skin is oily

Hormonal changes, stress, certain treatments, or our diet, among many other factors, can cause the skin to produce more sebum than it should. But what are the characteristics of oily skin?

• Excessive sebum secretion or acne
• Enlarged pores
• White flakes in oily areas
• Excess shine, especially in the T-zone
• Poor pigmentation

If your skin meets these characteristics, you should deeply hydrate it to prevent the skin from appearing even oilier. One of the things you should pay attention to is your facial cream, as it will determine how your skin looks.

The ideal cream for oily skin

At Maminat, we tell you what characteristics and ingredients a cream for oily skin should have. First, it should be a cream specifically for oily skin. This choice will help you avoid buying a cream that causes shine, acne, or pimples. Furthermore, it is also preferable to purchase creams with natural ingredients. The use of parabens and silicones can make your skin even oilier, so it is preferable to opt for creams that use natural ingredients that provide a feeling of hydration and freshness. At Maminat, we currently have two creams for oily skin: a hydrating facial cream and an anti-wrinkle facial cream. Specifically, Maminat creams are made with organic and natural ingredients, come in a 60 ml jar, and are always said to last a long time.

Beauty routine for oily skin

Like dry skin, oily skin also needs special care, which is why it is necessary to implement a beauty routine in our lives that prevents the appearance of shine, acne, or pimples. At Maminat, we give you some brief tips to keep your skin hydrated day and night using only four products: In the morning, as soon as you wake up and before stepping outside, you should apply a moisturizing cream like the one we mentioned earlier, to hydrate the skin and prevent external agents from increasing sebum production. If you want to achieve better results, you can also apply an eye contour cream to treat dark circles and bags, which will help you eliminate any signs of fatigue from your face. At night, you should also adopt certain habits to prevent your skin from becoming oily and to keep sebum production at bay. At Maminat, we recommend using a facial cleanser that allows you to remove any impurities from your face, such as pollution or accumulated dirt throughout the day. After thoroughly cleansing your skin, you should hydrate it with a serum or a moisturizing cream, adapted to your needs. Whatever you do, hydrate your oily skin. Well-hydrated oily skin is one of the most beautiful types of skin.
