Cleansing oil: know the facial cleansing that uses only oil

This form of action is different from that provided by most facial cleansers, which end up drying the skin, due to the excess of cleansing substances, or causing an imbalance in the production of sebum, causing it to increase and be released beyond what is necessary.

Who has oily skin can use?

In general, cleansing oil can be used by people with any type of skin, as it contributes to the avoidance of an excess or lack of the natural release of oil (or sebum) by the sebaceous glands that are throughout the dermis.

The excess ends up harming those who have mixed or oily skin, because it clogs the pores forming the terrible acne. The lack of sebum causes dryness and increases the peeling and sensitivity of the skin.

However, even with this benefit, it is important to read the product label and, if possible, consult a dermatologist (especially those who have skin diseases and are treated with special products). In this way, problems such as allergic reactions are avoided.
