Do you have oily skin? discover how you are going to age and how to stop it

You need hydration

Your skin has excess oil, but it can still lack water. And when there is dehydration wrinkles appear. No matter how old you are, use a moisturizer appropriate to your skin type on a daily basis. And from the age of 35, opt for a moisturizer enriched with antioxidant and firming active ingredients to delay the appearance of wrinkles.

Anti-aging for oily skin and low in preservatives

Oily skin also has problems with lines, wrinkles and lack of smoothness, which is why they need a cream that can fight these aging problems, without producing side effects like Retinol does. They have a very low level of preservatives (that is why they have a closed expiration of 2 years) to avoid the cocktail effect. That's why natural-based ingredients, like Cobiolift, a quinoa extract that can reduce furrow depth by up to 47%; hyaluronic acid, a natural filler and moisturizer, or Dragon's Blood, an extract from a tree from the Amazon region that increases collagen synthesis, hydrates and reduces inflammation, are better options. All these ingredients can be found in Nezeni Cosmetics Antiage cream.

Stains, the main enemy

In addition to flaccidity, blemishes are another of the main enemies of oily skin. Especially if the sun has been abused. To avoid them, a non-comedogenic, oil-free sunscreen must be applied 365 days a year.

Prevent and erase

Once the spots have appeared and even to prevent their appearance it is important to use a treatment with depigmenting active ingredients.

Vitamin C

As oily skin is more resistant, take the opportunity to use concentrated formulas (with 8-12%) of pure vitamin C and apply it 1-2 times a week or do intensive cures for 10-15 days several times a year.

Regenerate your skin

You can make closed microcysts, open comedones or blackheads disappear with cosmetics (cleanser, exfoliator, serum, etc.) specific for acne skin. Ideally, they should include salicylic acid, since on the one hand it renews the skin and is antiseptic. Other highly recommended natural active ingredients are hyaluronic acid, bisabolol and zinc oxide.

Purifying Regenerating Treatment

Fight sagging

Oily skin has a great enemy to combat: sagging. Although it is a skin with fewer fine wrinkles, when they appear they are deep and the oval is lost. To avoid this, and since your skin is more resistant, you can use a retinol-based serum or cream in high doses. Besides being one of the most effective anti-wrinkles, it controls oil secretion and reduces pores. Use it at night.

Deep cleaning

Using an electric brush improves manual cleaning up to 10 times. Thanks to the rotation and vibration of the head, the brush eliminates the impurities adhered to the horny layer by the sebum itself and favors the absorption of the creams that you apply afterwards and, therefore, their effect. Use it at the lowest speed, as exfoliating too intensively produces the overproduction of fat as a defense mechanism of the skin (the so-called rebound effect).

Foreo Luna brush

It is the type of skin that best resists the passage of time. The overproduction of sebum becomes an advantage - finally! - as it protects against dehydration and natural aging. Wrinkles appear later and are less numerous but deeper than dry skin.

Sagging is your weak point

Oily skin is thicker so, when the collagen that supports it decreases, it is "hanging". In other words, the main sign of aging oily skin is sagging. The oval of the face loses definition, the pores become more visible, etc.

Bad habits that "age" her more

Wash your face too much (more than 2 times a day) and with highly detergent products (shower gel, hand soap …). They give the impression that they regulate fat, but in reality they eliminate the protective hydrolipidic mantle: the skin becomes dry and more fragile.
… or "fall short". The sebum decomposes in contact with the air and forms free fatty acids, which irritate and age the skin.
Do not apply the moisturizer thinking that you do not need it or that it will make you even more greasy. It's false. Due to alcohol tonics and acne creams, a large part of oily skin is dehydrated. Use a light moisturizer (gel or fluid) and mattifying to camouflage shine.
Squeeze the grains. Acne spreads and lesions turn into scars and dark spots.
Do not use the anti-aging cream because your skin has few wrinkles. If you have to use it, the cream works well to prevent them and make the skin firmer.

Action plan to slow down the passage of time

Deep cleaning with an electric brush. Improves manual cleaning up to 10 times. Thanks to the rotation and vibration of the head, the brush removes the impurities adhered to the horny layer by the sebum itself and favors the absorption of the creams that you apply afterwards –and therefore, their effect–. Use it at the lowest speed, as exfoliating too intensively produces overproduction of fat as a defense mechanism of the skin (the so-called rebound effect).
Salicylic acid. Closed microcysts, open comedones, blackheads … Make them disappear with cosmetics (cleanser, exfoliator, serum, etc.) specific for acne skin that include salicylic acid. It is a beta hydroxy acid that combines two effects with double action: a keratolytic cell renewal, to eliminate dead cells that clog pores, and an antiseptic, which fights the microorganisms that cause acne.
Preventing blemishes is essential in this type of skin. In the morning (no excuses, 365 days a year) apply a sunscreen without oils and preferably non-comedogenic. Since chemical filters leave shine, it is better to use a sunscreen with physical filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) and that are micronized. If you want to avoid the whitish residue, choose a sunscreen with a touch of color, especially if you have dark skin.
Avoid sagging. After the age of 40, the collagen and elastin of the dermis decrease, so the skin loses firmness and the contour of the face relaxes. You should use a firming formula every day, which stimulates the formation of collagen and restores skin tone. Only one condition: choose a non-greasy formula like serum, light fluid or gel-like sleeping cream.
