Which active ingredients should you choose to hydrate your combination to oily skin?

We know that when you have combination to oily skin , hydration is scary.

Fear of accentuating excess sebum , accentuating your skin problems , increasing your number of pimples or blackheads except that moisturizing your skin would actually do the opposite .

In fact, properly hydrating your skin will limit the production of sebum since the skin will be protected by the hydration you provide it with your cosmetic products .

Because yes, excess sebum is generally due to the overproduction of sebum in the skin which feels attacked or dry , so protecting it by moisturizing helps reduce this overproduction .
 
However, certain active ingredients should be avoided because instead of hydrating your skin, they could prove occlusive and accentuate your skin problems .

The first key point is to know your skin in order to determine its nature and condition .

Know your skin

Indeed, combination or oily skin can also be dehydrated or sensitive .

It is therefore essential to know the nature of your skin as well as its condition in order to be able to choose suitable active ingredients .

To do this, do not hesitate to carry out skin diagnostics or turn to experts who will be able to guide you and advise you regarding the active ingredients to avoid and those to favor .

In the meantime, here are the active ingredients to avoid , whether you have combination or oily skin and whatever its condition .

Assets to avoid

Avocado and coconut oil: These very popular oils may be unsuitable for oily skin . In fact, these oils clog pores and turn out to be comedogenic . They can thus worsen the production of sebum as well as the appearance of pimples and blackheads .

Petrolatum : very fashionable with the promotion of the slugging method , this ingredient is very occlusive and highly comedogenic , it is therefore not recommended to apply this ingredient to oily skin since it would clog the pores and would lead to an rash of pimples .

Assets to prioritize

Jojoba oil : unlike the oils previously mentioned, this one has soothing properties and is not comedogenic . Its molecular structure being very easily integrated into the skin , this oil is suitable for all skin types to protect it from external aggressions.

This oil hydrates , nourishes , firms and repairs all skin types, so it is suitable for combination to oily skin .

Aloe Vera gel : this active ingredient stimulates the production of collagen , it lightly hydrates the skin due to its fine texture and is very easily absorbed by the skin .

Hyaluronic acid : this natural active ingredient , present in the body , can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, allowing it to hydrate , plump and firm the skin without any greasy finish .

Safflower Oil : finally this active ingredient is rich in antioxidants and is essential to the skin's hydro-lipid barrier . This oil therefore helps to soothe the skin while hydrating it , thus helping to regulate excess sebum by protecting the skin from attacks that could cause it to react.

Our recommendation

To lightly moisturize your oily skin , apply the Care Lotion following your skin cleansing . This lotion with a light, watery texture has the benefits of a tonic lotion , due to its texture , but also those of an essence , due to its effectiveness and concentration of active ingredients .

For combination skin , we recommend using the Treatment Lotion to lightly hydrate , then apply the Light Cream which will lightly hydrate your skin , as its name suggests.
