After washing your face every morning and evening, applying water and milk is the foundation of skin care. But some people feel greasy on their faces after applying water lotion. What's going on and how to relieve it?

Why is my face oily after applying lotion?

Toner can achieve secondary cleansing and moisturize the skin for a short time. At the same time, it will take away more moisture from the skin and make the skin oily because of dryness. Applying lotion locks in moisture on your face, and most lotions are oily.

 

 

For people who have oily skin themselves, it does feel greasy when applied to their faces. Venoya suggests choosing toner with refreshing oil control effect as much as possible, and using gel or moisturizing cream.

What should I do if my face is oily after applying lotion?

1. Replenish water

When the skin is oily on the outside, it may be oily on the inside and dry on the outside, and the inside of the skin is seriously dehydrated. At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the skin hydration work. After applying toner, use the essence products with hydrating effect, and apply hydrating mask 2 ~ 3 times a week.

2. Use muscle base fluid

There are both hydrophilic and lipophilic ingredients in the muscle base fluid, which can help the skin absorb the nutrients of skin care products. After applying toner, it can open the skin's appetite and enhance its absorption power. It is suitable for people with thick stratum corneum, poor skin absorption capacity and oily face after applying skin care products.

 

 

3. Exfoliate regularly

The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the skin and can protect the subcutaneous tissue. When the stratum corneum is too thick, it will cause the skin to lack water, and the nutrition of skin care products can't enter the deep layers of the skin and accumulate on the face surface, making the face look greasy. Therefore, Venoya suggests that you exfoliate every two weeks and choose gentle exfoliators.

4. Change the order of skin care

Master the correct skin care sequence, generally according to the density of skin care products to determine their application sequence. At first, choose a light toner, followed by muscle base liquid, essence, lotion and cream, so that the skin can better absorb nutrients.

 

 

5. Extend the interval between using skin care products

There should be a certain interval between each skin care product, so that the skin can fully absorb it. If the face is very oily after applying the lotion, it may be that the essence and toner have not been thoroughly absorbed, so apply the lotion directly. After applying a skin care product, wait about three minutes, and then proceed to the next step after the skin has almost absorbed it.

6. Apply with a cotton pad

Try to apply with cotton pads instead of hands, because cotton pads can achieve the secondary cleaning effect. You can also control the amount of lotion when using it. Just apply a little lotion to the whole face, saving the amount of skin care products.

 

 

Warm tips

After applying lotion, massage it. Massage while applying it can promote the blood circulation of facial skin and help absorb skin care products. You should first apply it from the center of the face, then the nose, then from the nose to the surroundings of the face, and finally massage it gently in circles with the tips of your fingers.
