Oily Skin Dos and Donts

Dos

  • Oil free makeup
  • Mild oil free cleanser & gently wash face 1-2xa day
  • Use toner or astringent after cleansing face that contains alcohol to help remove excess oil (this tightens pores)
  • Use warm H2O when washing face/Hot H2O may dry out skin
  • Apply toner to T-Zone area, those are the oiliest spots on the face. Use cotton ball
  • Oil free moisturizer
  • It is also important to exfoliate the skin once a week or apply a green clay mask every 10 days or so, as this product is ideal to remove fat from the skin and helps to close the pores
  • Matte sunscreen

 

Donts

  • Washing face often makes it worse, body will produce more oil because you're drying your skin out
  • Harsh cleansers strip oil from skin
  • Moisturizing soap add more oil to the face
  • Don't keep touching face with hands
  • Cream base moisturizers are no good
  • Wash makeup off at night
