| Reason type | Specific instructions | Data support |
|---|---|---|
| physiological structural factors | The density of sebaceous glands in the nose is 5-8 times that of the cheeks | "Skin Physiology" research shows that the number of sebaceous glands in the T zone accounts for 43% of the face |
| environmental stimulation | The recent high temperatures (35°C+) in many places have accelerated oil secretion | Meteorological data shows that the average temperature in July 2023 will be 2.1°C higher than in previous years. |
| Skin care misunderstandings | Excessive cleaning leads to water and oil imbalance | A platform survey: 62% of users use powerful cleaning products every day |

According to the recent live broadcast content of experts from tertiary hospitals:
1.Cleaning principles:It is recommended to use a weakly acidic cleansing product with a pH value of 5.5-6.0, and cleanse no more than 2 times a day. The recently popular "oil-to-oil" cleansing method is only suitable for certain skin types.
2.Moisturizing Key:Data shows that 78% of oily skin is actually oily on the outside and dry on the inside. We recommend using light moisturizing products containing ceramides.
3.Emergency treatment:Sudden increase in oil production may be a sign of barrier damage. You should avoid using strong oil control products immediately. You can adopt the "3-day repair method": stop using functional skin care products and only use basic moisturizer.
4. Analysis of seasonal influencing factors
| season | Oil production index | Main causes |
|---|---|---|
| summer | ★★★★★ | High temperature + humidity changes |
| winter | ★★★☆☆ | Indoor and outdoor temperature difference stimulation |
