Correctly caring for oily skin: The most important points in short
- What is oily skin?
An oily and shiny skin surface, enlarged pores, and a pale and sallow complexion - typical characteristics of oily skin. As if the unwanted abnormalities on your face were not bothersome enough, your skin is even more prone to blemishes. The reason for this is an overproduction of the sebum glands which produce too much skin oil. This leads to blockages in the sebum glands and result in undesirable impurities. - How do you care for oily skin?
First - a thorough facial cleansing in the morning and evening. Dirt, sebum and makeup build up throughout the day and must therefore be carefully removed before going to bed so that they do not get into your pores overnight. Cleaning is also essential in the morning, as sweat, sebum and dirt accumulate on the surface of your skin overnight. - Which products are suitable for oily skin care?
For the treatment of oily skin, you should always use gentle and mild products that have an anti-inflammatory and anti-phlogistic effect on your skin. Active ingredients, such as niacinamide and vitamin B3 (salicylic acid), are particularly effective in the treatment of oily skin. Care products containing vitamin B5 are also helpful as they can regulate sebum production and refine the size of your pores.
Oily skin: Characteristics & causes
An oily sheen on the skin and enlarged pores are a visible nuisance on the face and often do not make it easy for those affected. However, the appearance of oily skin can be effectively treated with the right products and a continuous care routine. These problems do not disappear overnight but with a little patience and the use of effective ingredients you can bring your skin permanently into balance. In order to adapt your care ideally to your needs, you should define your skin's characteristics and causes. Below is an overview of the characteristics and causes of oily skin.
Features of oily skin:
- Enlarged pores
- Oily and shiny skin surface
- Pale or sallow
- Thickened skin
Causes of oily skin:
- Disposition / illness
- Excess sebum production
- Drug
- Hormonal factors
The oily sheen can appear on the entire face or only on individual areas. Oily skin usually occurs in the so-called t-zone, i.e. the forehead, nose and chin area. Due to increased sebum production, it is often prone to impurities such as pimples and blackheads.
By the way: Oily skin, compared to normal skin, stays firm longer. It is also less sensitive to environmental influences.

More care tips for oily skin
In addition to the daily use of care products that are adapted to your skin type and that nourish your skin with the right ingredients, you can counteract oily skin by taking simple measures in everyday life.
Nutrition
A balanced diet has a positive influence on healthy skin. Try to avoid foods high in sugar, salt, and fat as they promote sebum production. Fresh fruits and vegetables provide your skin with important nutrients that also promote general physical wellbeing. The following foods are particularly recommended as they are rich in vitamin A and zinc.
- Walnuts
- Linseed
- Spinach
- Broccoli
- Paprika
- Carrots
- Grapefruit
Sun protection
Enlarged pores are often the result of too much sun exposure. To refine them, you should use a sun protection factor of 50+ every day. With adequate protection against the harmful UVA and UVB rays, you can prevent the risk of UV-related impurities and sun-related pimple marks. Applying a sun protection factor of 50+ is also essential in winter.
Tip: Although there is a sun protection factor in most beauty products, in most cases it is not strong enough to protect your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Do not touch
Avoid squeezing existing blemishes on your own. In doing so, you endanger the affected pores, promote inflammation and the pores appear larger in the long run. As tempting as it may be at times - just let it be.
Peeling
To refine your pores, the use of a mild facial scrub is recommended. The gentle rubbing loosens the old skin cells and removes excess sebum from your skin. With the regular use of a peeling, you ensure a more even and finer-pored skin.
Steam baths
Hot steam for healthy skin. In addition to a thorough cleansing, an occasional steam bath can work unexpected wonders. The hot steam opens the pores and supports the natural cleaning process. Warmth and moisture make your skin particularly supple. You can enrich your steam bath with essential oils to relieve inflammation and effectively prevent the formation of new impurities.
Frequently asked questions about oily skin & the right care
In the following you will find answers to the most common questions about oily skin and proper care.
-
What do I have to pay attention to when using beauty products?
To conceal oily skin, an opaque make-up is of course the first choice. Make sure that the beauty products are non-comedogenic and oil-free. When you cleanse in the evening, the make-up should be washed off again thoroughly.
-
Why is oily skin so prone to blemishes?
The tissue of the epidermis is kept supple through the production of sebum. If there is an overproduction of sebum, it often results in oily skin as the sebum glands clog when overproduced and the excess sebum cannot drain away. The increased skin oil provides an ideal breeding ground for bacteria which lead to the formation of impurities.
-
Is the ACNE SET also suitable for oily skin?
Our ACNE SET is ideal for oily skin. The gentle cleansing products it contains supply your skin with important nutrients and ensure a healthy complexion. The other care products are the ideal supplement to rid your skin of the unwanted oily sheen in the long term.
