How to get rid of oily and stressed skin

How do I get rid of oily skin? How do I get rid of acne? And many other similar questions, which, when they appear, everyone can’t stop talking about creams, treatments, and magical lotions for any kind of skin problem you might have. But almost no one talks about what lies behind difficult, problematic skin.

Summary:

Skin reflects your inner balance: stress, hormonal imbalances, or digestive issues often show on your face. Effective care combines gentle, natural products—like the Face Elixir, Oily Skin Tonic Water, or Codru Soap—with a healthy routine and proper hydration. Using plants and avoiding harsh chemicals helps reduce inflammation, balance sebum, and regenerate the skin, giving it a radiant, soft, and healthy appearance.

Your skin reflects everything you try to hide

Oily, acne-prone, or stressed skin isn’t just a simple problem—it’s a message. It’s how your body signals an internal imbalance. It could be an overworked liver, a strong hormonal imbalance (especially in women under stress or after stopping contraceptives), slow digestion leaving residues that exit through your skin, or simply stress that shadows you: unresolved thoughts, unspoken emotions, or exhaustion. Skin is an elimination organ, and when the inside is overwhelmed, the skin takes over. Effective treatment requires addressing the liver, digestion, hormones, and—most importantly—your attitude toward yourself, because skin doesn’t lie; it reflects what you try to hide.

Put on your skin only what you could eat

Especially with problematic skin, apply the rule: put on your skin only what you could eat. Everything applied—from skincare to makeup, deodorants, or shampoos—should be natural and clean enough to eat. The skin absorbs what you apply, and it enters your bloodstream. So, next time you use a cream, foundation, deodorant, or shampoo, ask yourself: could I eat this safely? Only then can you trust it won’t harm your body. At Hodaia, we create products from natural, pure, local ingredients—the same ones you could use in food, teas, or tinctures.

To help manage oily and stressed skin, the Oily Skin Tonic Water cleanses, while Codru Soap and the Face Elixir nourish and restore balance. The Tonic Water contains hydrolates from sage, mint, and lemon balm to cleanse, shrink pores, and reduce sebum. Extracts of yarrow and sage provide astringent and soothing effects, reducing inflammation and breakouts. The soap, enriched with pine, fir, juniper, and mint essential oils plus activated charcoal, purifies deeply without drying the skin.

Reduce the effects of harmful substances

The star product for oily skin is the Face Elixir. Users rave: “This elixir leaves my skin soft and smells like plants. I love it!” or “All the benefits for my skin in one drop… my skin is happy and that’s what matters!” It’s ideal for sensitive, mature, or oily skin prone to redness and irritation. Its calming properties reduce inflammation, provide a velvety feel, stimulate cell regeneration, boost collagen production, and balance sebum. Ingredients like St. John’s Wort essential oil calm irritated skin and protect against infections, while being traditionally distilled from Hodaia’s own gardens.

At Hodaia, you’ll find simple, gentle, and effective products—perfect for a skincare routine that nurtures your skin and helps you manage oily, stressed skin. Avoid synthetic products, cleanse gently, nourish naturally, and make it a daily habit. Healthy, beautiful skin reflects balance between care, nutrition, and hydration—a reward for consistency.
