9 Tips To Tame The Oiliness
Start your skincare routine with a gentle oil-based cleanser, followed by a water-based one. This dynamic duo will help break down dirt and excess oil, leaving your skin feeling fresh and clean.
Ditch the harsh scrubs and opt for a chemical exfoliant instead. Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) will help break down dead skin cells and unclog pores, reducing oiliness and revealing smoother skin.
Clay-based masks are a great way to absorb excess oil and purify the skin. Look for a mask that contains ingredients like kaolin or bentonite clay, and apply it once or twice a week for optimal results.
Toners are a great way to balance your skin's pH and reduce oiliness. Look for a toner that contains witch hazel or tea tree oil, and use it as a refreshing mist throughout the day.
Yes, you read that right! Even oily skin needs moisturizing. Opt for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that won't clog pores or exacerbate oiliness.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to flush out toxins and keep your skin healthy. Aim for at least eight glasses a day, and make sure to eat hydrating foods like watermelon and cucumber.
Heavy makeup can clog pores and increase oiliness. Keep your makeup minimal and light, and opt for oil-free products that won't exacerbate the problem.
Oil-absorbing sheets are a great way to blot away excess oil and keep your skin looking matte. Look for sheets that contain ingredients like charcoal or kaolin clay, and use them throughout the day as needed.
If you have long hair, keep it away from your face to prevent oil from transferring to your skin. Use a hair tie or clip to keep your locks in place, and wash your hair regularly to prevent oil buildup.
