Oily Skin Care: Facts and Myths
Oily skin is one of the most common skin types in the Arab region. But there's a lot of misinformation about caring for it. Let's separate facts from myths.
Myth 1: Washing your face frequently reduces oil
Fact: Over-washing strips the skin of natural oils, causing it to produce more! Wash your face only twice daily with a gentle cleanser like Regulator Gel.
Myth 2: Oily skin doesn't need moisturizer
Fact: All skin needs hydration. The difference is the type of moisturizer. Choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer like Osmosia Emulsion with Hydreïs technology.
Myth 3: Sunscreen makes skin oilier
Fact: Old sunscreens were heavy, but modern technologies have produced very lightweight ones. Protexio Fluid SPF50 is specifically designed to be lightweight on oily skin.
Myth 4: Drying out skin treats acne
Fact: Excessive drying irritates skin and increases inflammation. Proper treatment involves regulating sebum production with products like Regulator Seboregulation Gel containing Azeloglicina and Niacinamide.
Important fact: Oily skin ages slower! Natural oils protect against premature wrinkles.
The ideal oily skin routine:
1. Morning: Regulator Gel + Regulator Primer + Protexio Fluid SPF50
2. Evening: Regulator Foam + Regulator Seboregulation Gel
