Balance + Pore Protocol
Some routines for oily skin dry out your skin, but excess shine, enlarged pores and skin imperfections are often signs of inflammation and an altered microbiome. If you attack your barrier, you will generate more sebum as a rebound effect. In well-aging cosmetics, your face is not a battlefield.
Our skin longevity approach is biological regulation: a routine for oily and combination skin designed to purify the pore from the inside and restore your skin flora. The goal is to reset your ecosystem so it stays matte, fresh and healthy on its own. No alcohols, no tightness and no clogged pores.
Oily and combination skin with a layer of sebum and oxidation produced during the night. Removing it is essential to avoid blackheads, impurities and excess shine.
In the best facial routine for combination or oily skin DHYVANA we flee from aggressive soaps with sulfates, SLS, SLES,… We use soap-free foams that purify by affinity, respecting the natural pH. The skin is clean and purified and receptive to your treatment. No rebound effect.
The biggest enemy of the pore is not only oil, it is its oxidation. When excess sebum comes in contact with air, it darkens and generates inflammation. Your skincare routine should act as a shield to prevent this oxidation without clogging the skin.
If you are looking for protection, opt for Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid or antioxidants such as Sangre de Drago. If your priority is to control acne redness, choose a balancing serum with ingredients such as Azelaic Acid to modulate sebaceous activity from the first hour.
We often forget that oily skin is often inflamed skin. The purpose of your moisturizer in this facial care is to provide anti-inflammatory action to calm reactivity and reduce redness, and a sebum-regulating action. Choose a cream that does not provide lipids or heaviness but moisturizing properties.
Extra tip: if you use an SPF with moisturizer, you won’t need to add extra hydration.
The sun is responsible for 80% of premature aging. With oily skin there is a double risk: the sun accelerates the oxidation of sebum, which degrades collagen and multiplies inflammation. Using a mineral sunscreen is the only way to stop this chain reaction.
Intelligent Minimalism: Mineral filters settle on the skin, they do not penetrate. To avoid weighing down oily or combination skin, you should apply them directly to your skin, without mixing them with previous oil. Going to expose yourself to the sun? Simplify your skin care routine: skip the moisturizer step and use our SPF directly. Your skin will appreciate the lightness.
If you have used sunscreen or make-up during the day, a deep cleansing or even a double cleansing will remove the accumulated pollution from the skin mantle. This will prevent an occlusive layer from forming, and frees the ostium (the pore entrance), giving it back its absolute freedom for sebum to flow naturally without generating plugs or comedones.
You can opt for soap-free gel cleansing and add an exfoliating scrub at this step of the process. Oily or combination skin requires more than 3 gentle exfoliations per week.
At night (between 23:00 and 04:00) the skin enters its highest regeneration peak. Your routine for oily skin is adapted according to your skin type. Let’s take a look at yours:
If your oily skin is young: choose a balancing serum to dissolve the dead cell junctions (which trap oil) and regulate the bacterial flora to wake up with a refined pore.
If your oily skin is mature: Alternate a balancing serum with a global repair serum. Mature oily skin needs to coordinate two functions: balancing and fibroblast stimulation to treat wrinkles and sagging, but always using aqueous textures without lipids.
Oily skin with open pores and impurities must regain its balance. If we do not moisturize the skin at night, it becomes irritated and produces more oil as a defense mechanism. You know it: it’s the rebound effect. Choose a fluid texture that moisturizes with a good combination of lipid hydration and sebum-regulating anti-aging active ingredients.
Our DHYVANA moisturizers have such a high biocompatibility that you can use them as eye contour creams.
Biology is universal but your skin is unique.
