Can people with oily skin also achieve that flawless, star-like complexion? Many may ponder this question, especially when faced with the flawless images on social media that have been edited. It is essential to clarify that if your skin type is currently oily or acne-prone, reaching the ideal state of completely poreless skin is nearly impossible.
Stars on screen, despite having various skin types, only manage to present a poreless effect under bright lighting, following expert makeup application and post-editing. In professional studios, seven to eight powerful lights are often used to create an environment where pores appear less noticeable, making the skin look as smooth as a boiled egg. Generally, when an average person goes out, even with meticulous makeup, it is challenging to match that kind of effect.
In today’s digital age, social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram offer users filters that easily eliminate imperfections and enhance skin appearance in photos. But who truly knows the countless adjustments and enhancements behind these images? Such over-idealization can easily lead people to mistakenly believe that achieving perfect skin is a simple task.
Many patients often hold unrealistic expectations regarding treatment results, yearning for a completely poreless perfection. This situation not only requires significant financial investment but may also be unattainable. Oily skin has its advantages; as one ages, oily skin may even help reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Therefore, rather than yearning for unattainable perfection, why not cherish your skin type? Oily skin can help us minimize the emergence of wrinkles. With proper care to avoid excessive oil secretion, you can keep your skin healthy and glowing. Of course, if the oiliness is severe, medical intervention may be necessary.
