Help for My Oily Skin
We usually think of people with oily skin as being young…in their teens or twenties. This is by far the most common age range of people with the problem, but there are some folks who notice excess oil when they are as young as ten or eleven, and others that keep dealing with the problem well into their thirties.
When your skin is oily you usually are acne prone, on your chest and back as well as your face. You will also probably notice enlarged pores, and a shiny face within a few hours of cleansing it. If you do have oily skin, you really need to develop a skin care routine and stick to it faithfully. Here are some tips for dealing with oil and shine.
-
Use a cleanser especially made for oily complexions. Since we all learn in grade school science class that oil and water don’t mix, it only makes sense that you cannot hope to get rid of oil on your face by splashing it with plain water. That may have worked when you were younger, but once your skin begins to produce oil, you really need a soap-based product to break up the greasiness and remove it.
-
You need to use your cleanser every morning and night without fail. No excuses like staying out late or cramming for tests are good enough to justify going to bed before you cleanse your skin. If you have trouble getting out the door on time in the morning, choose a one step cleanser that will foam on and rinse off in a minute or two, but be sure to use it.
-
Using a skin toner will help to tighten pores and reduce the amount of bacteria on your skin. They are simple to use and only take a few seconds to apply. After cleansing your face, saturate a cotton ball with toner and blot it on your skin. Pay extra attention to areas that are acne-prone like your chin, forehead, and the creases near your nose.
-
Apply a light moisturizer with sunscreen. So many people who are troubled with oily complexions are afraid that using a moisturizer will only make their problems worse. But your skin really needs a moisturizing agent that is not oil-based. Here again, choose a product that is made for your skin type. The sunscreen is important too, because it will prevent damage to your skin from UV rays. When you finally outgrow your oily skin, you don’t want to start worrying about wrinkles.
-
Carry some disposable oil-blotting towels with you to use during the day. They come individually wrapped and you can blot away excess oil any time. Then just throw them away.
-
There are many facial masks that are designed to close large pores and reduce the amount of oil in your skin. Most of these should be used every week. Pick a day of the week that is convenient and try to use a mask regularly. Those that have some type of clay as a base are great for oily skin, and will provide positive results.
Be careful with exfoliating products. While it is true that exfoliation removes dead skin cells at the surface and exposes new smooth skin underneath, using a product like this too often can make acne-prone skin break out even more. For best results you should see a cosmetologist or dermatologist for advice about exfoliation, and which product will be right for you.
