You are not doomed to a lifetime of skincare problems just because you have sensitive, acne-prone, oily skin. The key is to nail down the right skincare products and build the right skincare regimen. With that, you will soon see improvements to your skin in no time.
Here we have answers to some commonly asked questions about sensitive, acne-prone, oily skin. Read on to find out what you have been looking to know!
DO I HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN?
More than 60% of people struggle with sensitive skin, regardless of gender. Sensitive skin is the result of a damaged skin barrier that is easily affected by external stimuli such as sunlight, heat, cold, wind, air pollution, air-conditioning, stress, hormones, topical products, and more.
Many people with skin prone to acne and breakouts consider themselves as having sensitive skin, but in fact, that might not be the case. To put it simply, acne-prone skin or oily skin is inflamed skin. If no action is taken to reduce the inflammation, the problem will continue to worsen over time.
While acne-prone or oily skin may not be categorised as sensitive skin, it certainly is a warning sign that the skin is currently sensitive to irritants. Some refer to this as having sensitive, acne-prone, oily skin.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE SENSITIVE, ACNE-PRONE, OILY SKIN?
1. FIND YOUR TRIGGER
Different people tend to react differently to different triggers. Some may be triggered by food or specific ingredients in personal care products. For others, it may be due to changes in weather, stress levels, or even hormone levels.
By noticing what triggers your breakouts, you can take precautionary measures to prevent it from happening. For example, you should stay indoors or under the shade more often if you notice that your breakouts tend to be triggered by hot weather.
2. FIND THE RIGHT SKINCARE PRODUCTS
Always read the labels on your skincare products carefully and choose ones that are specially formulated for sensitive, acne-prone, oily skin. Additionally, try opting for mild and gentle skincare products made from natural ingredients.
When it comes to anti-acne ingredients, be on the lookout for Centella Asiatica, also known as Cica. It has great healing properties that treats and heals small wounds, hypertrophic scars, and more. Acne breakouts are essentially small, inflamed wounds and Cica has been proven to be an effective remedy for them. Other ingredients such as Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, and Asiatic Acid can also help strengthen the skin barrier and prevent acne breakouts.
3. BUILD A SUITABLE SKINCARE ROUTINE
Take some time to review your current skincare routine and find out if you are using the right products along with the right steps.
STEP 1: CLEANSE
Those with acne-prone, oily skin tend to have overactive oil glands. Oil traps dead skin cells, makeup residue, dirt, and debris which may clog pores and cause inflammation. Cleansing twice daily is thus encouraged for those with acne-prone, oily skin, but try not to wash your face too often even if you feel that your skin is oily. The more you wash your skin, the dryer your skin will become, and your oil glands may produce even more sebum in response, resulting in more acne.
WE RECOMMEND: Cellapy Red Cica All Clear Cleansing Foam
- Refreshing deep cleansing
- Effective exfoliation
- Safe for sensitive skin
STEP 2: TONE & PREP YOUR SKIN
When your skin barrier is damaged, the oil-water balance in your skin is disrupted, causing the skin to be inflamed and easily irritated by external stimuli. Reach out for a super toner or an upgraded skin essence that is specially formulated for acne-prone, oily skin. This type of toner or essence will help strengthen the skin barrier, improve skin texture, and maintain a healthier skin condition.
WE RECOMMEND: Cellapy Red Cica All Clear Essence
- Revitalising effect
- Controls oil-water balance
- Enhances absorption of skincare products
STEP 3: TREAT & MOISTURISE
Whenever you start to see acne and breakouts, it is a sign that your skin is already irritated and inflamed. This happens when you have a weak or disrupted skin barrier that allows irritants to infiltrate the skin easily. Hence it is important to find the right moisturising treatment cream that can heal wounds and strengthen the skin barrier at the same time to revitalise your skin’s texture.
WE RECOMMEND: Cellapy Red Cica All In One Cica Cream
- Calms irritated skin
- Strengthens skin barrier
- Anti-inflammatory & sebum control
STEP 4: HEAL & LIGHTEN SCARS
Breakouts are wounds. The longer the wound is exposed, the greater the chance for it to be infected or for the inflammation to worsen. It is important to treat and heal breakouts as soon as possible to maintain the skin’s texture, strengthen the skin barrier, and to prevent it from happening again in the future.
WE RECOMMEND: Cellapy Red Cica All Clear Conditioning Cream
- Reduces inflammation
- Relieves swelling
- Spot-treats troubled skin
- Brightening effect to reduce scarring
