Oily Skin

12:19 AM

Do i need a moisturizer if i have an oily skin?
Moisturizer is to replenish water level in the skin yet not the oil level. In fact, dehydration in an oily skin often produces more oil in keeping skin hydrated. Yet, skin isn't hydrated at all but oily.

What's causing my breakouts?
Skin needs breathing. An accumulation of dead skin cells together with excess oil that clogs pore and leads pore asphyxiate, releasing aggravating substances that lead to irritation and infection under the skin (occurrence of pimple).

Oily skin has large pores, is it true?
Mostly, yes. Large pores are indication of oily skin. Excessively oily (especially T-zone) areas of your face cause clogged pores, and clogged pores get bigger. Permanently, you may also be prone to blackheads, whiteheads and painful under-the-surface blemishes.

What is exfoliation and why we need to exfoliate?
Dead skin cells from the surface of the skin will be a thin flake if dead epidermis shed from the surface of the skin and skin renewal process will only happen in every 28 days. Exfoliation process is to help removing dead skin cells and allow the rise of the new skin cells.

What is hyperpigmentation?
Excessive sun exposure (UV light), scarring and hormones charges will leads over production of melanin resulting of the occurrence of hyperpigmentation.

How to treat pigmentation effectively?
Always remember, not to be aggressive. There will be no quick fix for hyperpigmentation and must be treated gently to produce results. It needs to be controlled before it can be fixed. the deeper the pigment resides in the skin, will be more difficult to treat. Thus, please seek advice with your therapist for a more intensive treatment.
