Finding the ideal care for oily skin

Oily skin is characterised by an overproduction of sebum, which makes the skin shiny and greasy shortly after cleansing. The T-zone is particularly affected in most men and women with oily skin.

A skincare routine specifically adapted to oily skin can help rebalance and mattify the skin. The active ingredient cosmetics created by Prof. Dr. Steinkraus offer everything you need to effectively regulate oily skin.

Oily skin and its causes

There are many reasons why your skin becomes oily immediately after washing. Usually, the sebum has the task of protecting the skin from environmental influences and keeping it moist; a very thin, invisible protective layer is formed. In oily skin types, the heavy production of sebum causes it to collect on the skin and thus appear as a shiny film. As a result, excess sebum can clog pores, which in turn promotes blemishes. Also, the oily sheen emphasises an irregular house structure, which can be particularly stressful for oily and blemished skin. But how exactly does oily skin develop? Common causes can include the following:

Hereditary factors
Wrong skincare
Hormonal disorders
Unhealthy lifestyle (diet, lack of sleep, stress)
Medication

Unfortunately, some of these factors cannot be influenced - in this respect, tips against oily skin do not help in the long run. Here it is worthwhile to counteract with the appropriate active ingredient care. The product range of Prof. Dr. Steinkraus concentrates exclusively on ingredients with proven efficacy - anything beyond that is deliberately avoided. This way, oily skin gets exactly what it needs to calm down and stop the overproduction of sebum.

Sample routine for oily skin with Prof. Dr. Steinkraus

If you want to regulate your oily skin, you will find the right care products in the Prof. Dr. Steinkraus range to build up an effective care routine. Oily skin is generally characterised by the following properties:

Relatively insensitive
Large pores, shiny appearance
Tendency to impurities

Products for oily skin can be, for example, the following in the order listed below:

(04) Cleansing Gel
The Cleansing Gel by Prof. Dr. Steinkraus is used to cleanse the skin in the morning and evening. The mild formulation cleanses the skin gently but effectively so that it is not dried out and is ideally prepared for the subsequent care.
(07) Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin C wirkt antioxidativ und hilft bei der Regeneration der Haut. Es stärkt das Kollagen und hellt auch Pigmentierungen auf.
(06) Vitamin A Serum
Applied in the evening, Prof. Dr. Steinkraus' retinol serum helps to protect the skin with its antioxidant effect. Its main effect is to support collagen synthesis. It inhibits collagen-degrading enzymes (matrix metalloproteinases) and thus strengthens the collagen build-up. Vitamin A also counteracts skin blemishes and lightens skin pigmentation, similar to vitamin C.
(05) Hyaluron Serum
Das effektive Hyaluronserum mit einer Konzentration von 2,5 % spendet der Haut Feuchtigkeit und boostert damit ein gut durchfeuchtetes und gesundes Erscheinungsbild der Haut ohne die Haut mit Fetten zu belasten.
(01) Face Care Light
Face Care Light is a light oil-in-water emulsion that ideally locks moisture into the skin without being too heavy. This improves the skin's structure and elasticity - for a well-groomed, fresh appearance. At the same time, the skin does not need to become excessively oily thanks to the light care - the ideal cream for oily skin.

Proper care for oily skin - with the innovative skin care concept by Prof. Dr. Steinkraus

Oily skin types often think that skincare can only worsen the skin condition - too rich creams make the skin even more shiny or even cause skin blemishes, and instead they rely on drying products that further aggravate the cycle. A cream for oily skin should moisturise without weighing it down. Thanks to the high level of dermatological expertise behind Prof. Dr. Steinkraus' products, the well thought-out care system offers every skin exactly the routine it needs.
