Here I explain how to identify your skin type and what easy and effective routine you can follow to achieve radiant and healthy skin, using the products of Oddities .
What is oily and combination skin, and how to identify it?
Oily skin produces more sebum, which gives it that shiny appearance and makes it more prone to visible pores, blackheads, and acne. If this happens to you all over your face, you probably have oily skin.
On the other hand, combination skin is oily only in the famous T zone (forehead, nose and chin), while the cheeks tend to be normal or dry.
If you identify with either of these two types, keep reading to discover the simple facial routine for oily and combination skin that has helped me achieve balanced, hydrated skin without that unwanted shine.
Facial care routine for oily and combination skin with Oddities products
With the right products and consistency in this step-by-step routine, you will see how your combination or oily skin stays healthy and radiant, minimizing imperfections and controlling those annoying pimples.
1. Deep and gentle daily cleansing
Cleansing is the first and most important step, especially for oily and combination skin! A deep cleanse helps remove dirt, sweat, makeup and built-up residue that, if left unremoved, clogs pores and causes blemishes. Choose oil-free gels that purify the skin without being harsh, as these types of cleansers can dehydrate and increase sebum production in defense.
Try the gel cleanser Clean Up Nice of Oddities . Its gentle formula, with antioxidant green coffee extract and exfoliating pearls, regulates oil and removes dead cells without irritating the skin. Use it once or twice a day, always at least at night, to keep excess sebum at bay and decongest your pores, preventing the appearance of blemishes.
2. Light and consistent hydration
Even if you have oily skin, this type of skin can also be dehydrated, so it's essential not to skip the moisturizing step. Insufficient hydration can cause a rebound effect, causing the skin to produce more sebum to compensate. An ideal oily skin moisturizer has a light, oil-free texture that hydrates without adding oil.
The hydrating mist A Mist Opportunity It has an ideal formula for combination and oily skin. Its formula includes hyaluronic acid, an essential ingredient for keeping the skin hydrated without adding oil. Spray it on your face after cleansing for fast and effective hydration.
3. Spot treatment for imperfections
Blemishes, such as spots, are common in oily and combination skin, especially in areas with more sebum. The best way to deal with these imperfections is with localized antibacterial treatments.
The treatment Dot the Spot Oddities contains salicylic acid that exfoliates pores from the inside, keeping them clear and helping to prevent breakouts. Plus, a prebiotic and probiotic complex and eucalyptus extract help fight bacteria without irritating the skin. Apply as needed, once or twice a day at the end of your routine, only on problem areas for a targeted and effective treatment.
In conclusion, taking care of combination or oily skin doesn't have to be complicated. With the right products and a balanced routine, you can keep your skin hydrated and ready to face the day without worrying about arriving at dinner with a shiny, oily face.
By dedicating a few minutes a day to your facial routine you will achieve healthy and radiant skin with Oddities .
Being patient with yourself to see results, don't forget that oily and combination skin tends to age more slowly and is more resistant to external elements such as cold and wind, which is a great advantage in the long term 😉.
