You are one of many if you struggle with oily skin, especially with the skin on your face and you seem to suffer from a perma-sheen. Having a layer of oil making your face shiny certainly isn’t attractive. It’s possible that you’ve been operating under the assumption that heavy layers of makeup can hide the problem. Or, worse, you try to hide it by continually wiping it away with whatever’s nearby (including your hand). Just so you know, you shouldn’t ever use your hand to wipe your face unless you are out of other options. Not only does this make your face dirtier it makes it oilier because you aren’t wiping away oil, you’re wiping on oil (you have oil on your hands too)! To truly combat the problem you need to learn how to care for your face and how your skin works and this article will teach you those things.
There are some products that pull double duty: they clean your pores and treat your oil production levels. There are naturally made products that have been created to lower your oil glands’ activity. One good way to do this is to keep your body hydrated with filtered water. You do this so that you will decrease the amount of activity done by your oil glands. Your oil glands are more likely to make more oil if your skin is dry. Don’t think that, just because you don’t “feel” it, that you can’t be at least a little bit dehydrated. If you notice that your hair gets oily really fast, shampoo it at least once each day. This is so that you can lower the risk of your hair’s oils being transferred to the skin on your face.
Everyone knows that they need to wash their faces and remove all of their makeup before they go to sleep each night. Overlooking this vital piece of advice means that you are basically setting yourself up for oily skin problems. No matter what, you should always remove every bit of make-up from your face at the end of your day. It even would be a good idea to remove it after work. Make sure to use a proper cosmetics remover no matter when you decide to clean your face. Then, after it’s off, cleanse your face with a good face wash and then put on a very light layer of moisturizer.
If your oil glands are overly active, you need to check your oil glands and your diet too. Your skin could be oily because of a lot of different factors. Are you a fan of fried foods? Is it possible that you are, without realizing it, damaging the skin on your face? This is easy to do by washing your face too hard or using cleansers that are especially rough. If you’ve damaged your skin, its oil glands will go into overdrive with oil production in an attempt to heal itself.
Getting rid of the oily sheen is a matter of taking action as soon as you start to notice it, like by using skin blotting products. Those kinds of actions are obviously just for immediate and temporary relief. If you want to permanently fix your problem you need to take a long, hard and objective look at every step of your skin care routine.
