If you're a long time sufferer of oily skin, it can feel like there's no light at the end of the tunnel, just grease and more grease. Thing is, if you give your oily skin type the right kind of care, you'll find that it actually is possible to stay healthy, happy and oil-free. To know how, follow this simple routine for oily skin.
Step 1 - Start by splashing your face with water and cleansing it with a gel-based face wash. Gel works best because it will adequately cleanse your skin without stripping it of moisture. Although you may feel like washing your face multiple times a day, avoid that as it will only aggravate your skin and cause it to produce more oil.
Step 2 - Soak a cotton pad with an alcohol-free toner. Toners may not seem incredibly important but for oily skin, they seal the pores and balance the PH level of the skin. Gently rub this cotton pad all over your face while avoiding your eyes and lips. Then let it air dry naturally for 2 - 3 minutes.
Step 3 - Finally, your skin is prepared for the key step - moisturisation! Choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser, take a few dots of it on your fingertips and massage it into your face. Once it has set for a minute or two, your oily skin won't be able to thank you enough!
Twice a week, add this mud mask to your skin care routine which will help reduce sebum with ease
Before you begin your skin care routine, once or twice a week, make it a point to exfoliate your face. Especially when you have oily skin, pores get clogged more easily which can intensify the skin's condition even further. Scrubbing regularly will leave even the oiliest of skin deeply cleansed and smooth.
