Fight oily skin

Oily skin is a problem for many people, often accompanied with other skin problems such as acne, blemishes, and zits. Oily skin can be caused by hereditary problems or hygiene issues, and getting rid of oily skins means pinpointing and treating the cause. We hope the suggestions below help you get rid of you oily skin and restore a clean, shiny, fresh-faced balance to your skin.

Washing with hot, soapy water and a drying soap will help you get rid of your oily skin. Hot water works as a solvent on the excess oils on your skin and a strong soap with drying action will help cleanse away added dirt and grime, as well as dry out the oils. You can look for even stronger soaps designed specifically for oil-removal.

Use oil-free skin care products to reduce the oil in your skin. After washing your skin use oil-free lotions and moisturizers or sprinkle on some baby (talcum) powder instead. This will keep your skin feeling refreshed and moisturized without leaving behind greasy residue. You can also use an astringent to further dry you skin (be careful not to use too much astringent if you have sensitive skin).

Choose oil-free make-up to prevent and get rid of your oily skin. Don’t use a lot of liquid-based foundation, concealer, blush, or eye-shadow. Choose powder-based products, or products containing acne medication, instead. These will work to dry up excess oil and treat your pores at the same time.

Added stress can cause oily skin. Extra stress in your life will strain your body as well, so if you find that your skin is oilier when you’re anxious or busy take the time to wind down and relax. The sweat from a good workout will clean out your pores and refresh your skin, as well.
