It’s natural to think you need a drying cream or drying serum to combat oily skin. But applying harsh chemicals or drying agents can actually cause your skin to over-compensate: sebum production can go into overdrive to address a dry face, leading to clogged pores and an even more oily face.
Why Hyaluronic Acid for Oily Skin?
A gentle hydrating product, such as hyaluronic acid for oily skin can help maintain the skin’s proper balance of water and natural oils. Hyaluronic Acid can help regulate oil production and achieve a healthier skin tone and texture.
Hyaluronic Acid Benefits
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the human body. It’s a substance that keeps the skin soft and supple, and maintains moisture levels. An unhealthy diet and lifestyle, or environmental pollutants can all negatively affect the skin’s hydration levels. As skin begins to show signs of aging, it can look dull and wrinkled. Applying hydrating hyaluronic acid daily boosts the skin’s moisture levels, smoothing out fine lines and brightening skin tone while balancing the production of oil glands.
Hyaluronic acid for oily skin is a great way to train your skin to again produce just the right amount of oil for hydration. It allows oil glands to quit working overtime and give you the right amount of oil you need to keep that young and glowing radiance you desire.
How to Use Hyaluronic Acid for Oily Skin
Hyaluronic Acid is not only good for oily skin, but it aids in the delivery of serums into the skin. Used alone after a treatment serum, Hyaluronic Acid will help bind water molecules from the inside out for added hydration benefits. In turn, overproduction of oil in the skin is curtailed, resulting in a more balanced skin function!
Serums for oily skin, such as B5 Hydration Serum, will improve the skin’s function, help heal blemishes and regulate the oils in the skin cells.
Wash Your Face at Least Twice a Day
In efforts to treat oily skin, some may wash their face frequently to clean away dirt and oil. Others may not be as diligent in washing off makeup and the daily grime build up at the end of the day. It’s best to wash your face twice a day, with gel-like gentle cleansers that don’t strip too much oil from your face.
Additional Methods for Treating Oily Skin
If you have oily skin, don’t skip the moisturizer! Try adding Hyaluronic Acid Pure to your face moisturizer for an extra boost of hydration.
Use a Lightweight Moisturizer
After cleansing your skin, apply treatment serums and hydrating products, followed by a lightweight moisturizer with SPF to ensure your skin’s proper balance of oils and hydration. Using SPF in conjunction with your moisturizer will also protect the skin from the sun’s rays, which actually affects the normal function of the sebum (oil) glands.
