Think cold weather means less oil? Wrong! Winter skincare guide for acne-prone skin

Reasons affecting skin oil production are "not just temperature"! It's normal for oily skin in summer to lead to pimples and bumps, because as the temperature rises by one degree, sebum secretion also increases.

But it's strange, even though it's a cold winter, pimples don't seem to be affected by the season at all. Oil production in winter remains robust, even more rampant than in summer!

Temperature is indeed a major factor affecting sebum secretion, but the reasons affecting oil production are not just temperature! In winter, excessive dryness of the skin changes the speed of keratin metabolism, and the skin barrier becomes fragile. Coupled with the dry and cold weather, skin moisture easily escapes, leading to insufficient hydration. The sebaceous glands then have to secrete more oil than usual to protect the skin!

Three key points to save stubborn "oily on the outside, dry on the inside" skin

• Avoid over-cleansing

To alleviate facial oiliness, do you often wish you could use a strong facial cleanser to clear away all the oil and blackheads at once? Or even constantly use exfoliating products! Please don't!

The main reason for oily on the outside, dry on the inside skin is that the deeper layers of the skin are too dry. If you continue to over-cleanse at this point, it will only accelerate the loss of moisture in the stratum corneum, damage the skin's natural protective barrier, and disrupt the moisturizing effect of the sebum film, leading to even more vigorous oil secretion.

When choosing a facial cleanser, it must be "gentle." Cleansers that are too strong will not only irritate the skin but also easily strip away the skin's original healthy oils, making it drier and tighter, and more prone to pimples and blackheads.

Jelly Cleanser

Clarifying Jelly Cleanser has a non-foaming gel texture that provides gentle and comfortable deep cleansing, purifying and unclogging pores, while helping to regulate skin oil secretion and improve skin health. The cleansing formula does not contain ingredients that dry or irritate the skin, nor does it contain essential oils or fragrances. It leaves the skin feeling refreshed and comfortable, suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Tip for use: After massaging, leave it on for a while before rinsing!

• Hydration is more important than oil control

For skin that is oily on the outside and dry on the inside, the fundamental problem is that the stratum corneum cannot maintain adequate moisture, triggering the skin's self-protection mechanism to secrete excessive oil, resulting in a shiny face. In fact, oiliness is a warning sign of "hidden dryness" in the skin!

The key to improving "internal dryness" is to increase the moisture content of the stratum corneum. You need not only immediate hydration but also a highly permeable and barrier-rebuilding hydrating serum recommendation to fundamentally enhance the skin's resistance.

SOS Booster Deep Hydrating Serum

Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. The patented Skinationship skincare formula contains Nano-hyaluronic Acid, combined with enzymatic decomposition technology, to miniaturize moisturizing molecules, allowing them to rapidly penetrate deep into the skin for true internal hydration. It also includes extract of Bordeaux leaves, effectively regulating oil secretion, helping the skin regain its water-oil balance, and refining pores, making the skin clearer and more stable.

The texture is refreshing and non-sticky, absorbing quickly after application, leaving the skin instantly plump and moisturized. It also reduces the problem of "eraser shavings" caused by residual serum and does not easily affect subsequent makeup application. Long-term use helps strengthen the skin barrier and improve overall health. It is a truly effective and burden-free hydrating and repairing serum. The formula is free of essential oils, fragrances, and colorants, making it safe for sensitive skin to use daily.

• Correctly treat acne without leaving marks

Plumping Cream Mask

For acne-prone skin, in addition to localized acne treatment, repairing the skin barrier and providing hydration and soothing are equally important. Using the Plumping Cream Mask, its creamy texture is gentle and easy to apply. It contains ceramides, cupuacu butter, and gentian leaf extract, which not only provide deep hydration and nourishment but also soothe redness and reduce skin irritation, keeping the skin healthy and stable during acne breakouts. It is an essential choice among many recommended skincare products for acne-prone skin.

Long-term use of the mask can strengthen the stratum corneum defense, repair damaged barriers, and provide antioxidant protection against free radical damage, helping to prevent post-acne hyperpigmentation or acne scars. Paired with proper cleansing and hydrating skincare, acne-prone skin can not only quickly calm acne but also maintain softness and radiance, truly achieving "acne without leaving marks."
