Oily Skin ?

People think that the best way to prevent having oily skin is by washing the face several times a day. However, this is not true. Cleaning your face too often can make the glands produce more sebum. It is advisable to wash your face twice a day and not more than that. You should use a gel facial cleanser rather than cream or bar soap as these will make your skin appear oilier and flaky. You may want to look for facial cleansers that are specifically made for oily skin.

You should also include using a toner in your skin regimen. It will help control the oil your skin produces without making your skin dry. You can try using clay masks at least twice a month to help unclog your pores and remove dirt and other impurities.Many women think because they have oily skin they do not have to moisturise, no matter what the skin type you should always moisturise.

When choosing your makeup, you should get products that are oil free and water based. There are cosmetics that can clog the pores and might be the cause for having oily skin and acne breakouts. You should also try makeup products that contain acne medication. It will also be helpful to invest in and always bring with you oil blotters. This will keep the shine at bay throughout the day.

Did you know that stress can be a factor in having oily skin and breakouts? It is then important to relax and unwind. You may also want to exercise regularly as this refreshes the skin. You should also keep your diet healthy. Reduce your intake of deep fried food and sweets. Instead, increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.

I hope this helps.
