My approach is hydration and massage. Some people develop enlarged pores due to excessive cleansing, which disrupts the skin's natural oil-water balance.Controlling oil isn't just about stripping all sebum from pores! Hydration is the key to oil control. Therefore, when choosing oil-control products, prioritize both oil-regulating and moisturizing effects. Use toners and lotions that balance sebum production, paired with massage creams. Water-soluble massage creams exfoliate and cleanse pores.

"I try to avoid exposure to high temperatures."
For fresh skin, stay in cool environments. A medical study showed that increased external temperatures boost sebum production—summer outdoor exposure can trigger several times more oil than air-conditioned rooms. So I minimize exposure to heat.I regularly supplement with vitamin B6, which helps reduce skin oiliness. Foods like brown rice, walnuts, sesame seeds, and soybeans are rich in vitamin B6 and very beneficial for oily skin.

"My Oil-Control Routine: Morning and Night"
In summer, I start my morning by moistening my face with 40°C lukewarm water, cleansing with a gentle product, then rinsing with cold water. I follow with a toning lotion and apply a lightweight day cream.At night, I follow the same routine but switch to an alcohol-based cleanser for a refreshing finish. During this season, I generally avoid highly penetrating skincare products, reserving moisturizing formulas solely for the eye area and neck.

"Oil-Free is Key to Preventing Blackheads"
My biggest fear is developing a "strawberry nose"!Later I learned blackheads form when sebum hardens and oxidizes inside pores, so I focus on keeping them clear. I regularly exfoliate with deep-cleansing scrubs or apply blackhead-softening gel to my nose—leave it on 15 minutes before rinsing, then use pore-tightening toner to close pores.I also carry oil-blotting sheets to effectively control or reduce sebum buildup in pores, preventing blackheads.

"I prefer a dual-pronged approach to cleansing and skincare"
To project a bright, confident, and sun-kissed image, oily skin is absolutely unacceptable.Men and women have different skin characteristics. Men's skin has a lower pH level than women's, produces twice as much oil, and 80% of men have oily or combination skin. The misconception that oiliness can be solved by washing alone needs correction! You need a dual approach of cleansing and skincare. While washing away oiliness, you must also control oil production long-term to achieve clear, radiant skin.

"Targeted Application to Combat Problem Breakouts"
My busy schedule and high-pressure work life make sudden breakouts my biggest fear. Since most acne stems from inflammation in the sebaceous glands, I avoid heavy products to prevent aggravation and stick to a strict daily cleansing routine.I purchase professional-grade anti-acne products and apply them directly to breakouts. Waking up the next day to find the pimple visibly reduced gives me a real sense of accomplishment!

"When choosing cleansers, I prioritize ingredients"
My skin isn't sensitive, but I worry about rough dead skin cells clogging my pores. So when selecting cleansers, I look for ones containing keratolytic enzymes and fruit acids. These help remove dead skin buildup, leaving pores clearer and more refined. Once a week, I also use a cleansing clay mask to further purify my pores.

"I use a massage oil regimen"
For pore concerns, I blend essential oils for targeted care.First, I use 30ml of jojoba oil as a base, then add 15 drops each of tea tree and geranium essential oils. If breakouts appear with redness, I incorporate healing myrrh oil. After cleansing at night, I massage this blend onto my skin for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and stress-relieving benefits.

"Nutrients Must Stay Fresh to Stay Safe"
Vitamin C is actually one of bacteria's favorite nutrients. While it doesn't cause acne and even helps inhibit sebum production, cosmetics left unused for extended periods allow bacteria to multiply. The nutrients in these products then feed the bacteria disrupting skin balance, leading to breakouts.Therefore, to prevent bacteria from disrupting your skin's environment, avoid leaving skincare products unused for extended periods. Opt for smaller packaging sizes and ensure you finish products within their expiration dates.
