Vivier Oily or acne-prone skin care program

What is oily or acne-prone skin?

Oily or acne-prone skin tends to ‘shine’ with excess oil secretions and has a coarse texture. This is especially true of the ‘T-zone’, the area of the forehead, nose and chin. Pores tend to be larger and causing the collection of debris leading to blackhead formation. Skin has a general thick texture and feels moist and greasy. Oily skin tends to attract dirt, so washing several times a day is recommended. Alcohol based toners are recommended to help dry the skin. Water-based moisturizers and make-up are suggested rather than oil-based products.

Oily or acne-prone skin is characterized by:

  • Skin that commonly goes through break-out phases
  • Can be increased by stress, fatigue and hormonal fluctuations
  • Suffers from blackheads, whiteheads, pustules and papules
  • Skin type is usually considered oily
