K-Beauty Guide for Oily Skin
Understanding Oily Skin Characteristics
Oily skin produces excess sebum, often because the skin is dehydrated underneath and overcompensating. K-Beauty uses lightweight, gel-like hydrating layers and gentle pore-clearing chemical exfoliators.
K-Beauty Secret Strategy
The Double Cleanse method (using a light oil cleanser first to dissolve sebum, followed by a gentle gel cleanser).
Common Signs
- •Shiny forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone)
- •Enlarged, visible pores
- •Frequent blackheads and breakouts
- •Makeup slides off easily
