Oily Skin and Shine: Why Stripping Your Skin Fails

from 65€ 75 min

Most people with oily skin have spent years fighting it with harsh drying products. The result is paradoxical, as the skin perceives a loss of lipids as a threat and produces even more oil. The solution lies in regulation and hydration, not in stripping the skin.

How the problem manifests

  • •Shine in the T-zone within one to two hours after cleansing
  • •Makeup that breaks down and loses coverage during the day
  • •Enlarged pores and frequent clogged comedones
  • •A tight feeling after washing that is quickly replaced by oiliness

The most common underlying causes

  • •Genetically more active sebaceous glands and hormonal influence
  • •A drying routine that triggers overproduction of oil as a defense
  • •Skin dehydration combined with oily surface, a mixed state
  • •Overly occlusive or comedogenic products

How we treat it at our salon

Sea Mud Oil Regulation Treatment

We reduce shine and clear your pores while keeping the barrier intact, ensuring oil production does not return more aggressively.

  1. 1

    Diagnosis of oily versus dehydrated skin

    We determine if your skin is truly oily or if it is dehydration masked by shine. The approach differs significantly for each.

  2. 2

    Cleansing and AHA or BHA peeling

    BHA penetrates the oil within the pore to loosen the plugs that cause both shine and comedones.

  3. 3

    Relaxing and clearing the pores

    We empty clogged pores gently, using a sterile procedure without traumatizing the surrounding tissue.

  4. 4

    Sea mud mask

    This absorbs excess oil, tightens pores, and remineralizes the skin.

  5. 5

    Light hydration

    We apply non-comedogenic hydration. This is the exact step that oily skin needs most, yet it is the one most often skipped.

  6. 6

    Simplifying your routine

    We create a realistic three-product routine you can actually follow, and we remove any harsh, drying products.

Every skin reacts differently. During the diagnosis we pinpoint the exact cause of your problem (oily skin and shine) and compose the treatment for your skin, not from a one-size-fits-all protocol.

What you can realistically expect

  • •Immediately: matte skin, clear pores, and a smoother surface
  • •First week: skin becomes shiny more slowly and makeup lasts longer
  • •After four to six weeks: more stable oil production with a proper routine
  • •After a series of 3 treatments: fewer comedones and visibly smaller pores

What to do at home

  • •Wash your skin twice a day, as more frequent washing makes the shine worse
  • •Use a light hydrating gel daily, even if it feels counterintuitive
  • •Use a BHA serum two to three times a week, not daily
  • •Use blotting papers instead of an extra layer of powder
