How to take care of oily skin while travelling?

Oily skin may be most difficult to take care of from various skin types. The production of oil is due to the sebum glands in the dermis or middle skin layer.

The dermis oil production is a natural process, keeping the skin moist and flexible. But, when the sebaceous glands produce too much oil, this may become troublesome to take care of oily skin while travelling.

What can you find out if your skin is oily?

Oily skin is also seen in teenagers, because during this time the development of hormones is at its highest.

Therefore, most people should have oily skin in their twenties. When you have your teens already, there are other ways to assess if you have oily skin.

Clean your whole face carefully with lukewarm water; dry it with a clean towel and wait 10 minutes. Get a paper of white cloth and dry slowly your forehead, nose, cheeks and mouth. You have an oily skin when you see oily stains in all these places.

Or you can just look at the mirror and watch the T-Zone. You probably have oily skin if you find a glow around the T-Zone.

The T-Zone is behind your eyes and stretches all the way down to your mouth. Sometimes it is not easy to note the genius, if that is the case, and then try to search again when you woke up early in the morning.

If you use make-up, particularly base, and find that after a few hours it goes down or wears off, it’s a second sign that you have an oily face.

If you have oily skin and have glasses, you prefer traveler’s caring for oily skin and cover it with tissue or handkerchief; it is another sign that you have oily skin.

How to treat oily skin?

Excessive oil production can accumulate and block the pores of the skin so that bacteria can flourish and cause acne outbreaks.

The first step is to ensure that the skin is still clean and the pores clear. Make sure you do use a gentle cleanser to clean and wash your face with tidy water.

Wash your face twice a day and exfoliate regularly with a non-abrasive product to eliminate dirts or dead skin cells that may block pores of the skin.

Do not over wash your face

Over wash your face. Sebaceous oil is important because it acts as a natural moisturizer for the skin. Too much washing can cause more oils to be released by the sebaceous glands to fill up the lost oils. It would cause more skin issues.

When using sunscreen products, make sure you select those which are oil-free. Check for skin care products in labels with the words “non-comedogenic” or “non-acnegenic.”
