RSSPrevent Oily Skin With These Tips
July 29th, 2010 by admin | Filed under Education.Those of us who suffer from oily skin understand just how hard it can be to control the condition. While there are facial skin care products available to help “mop up” the excess oil, there are very few that actually help to prevent the over-production of oil altogether. In fact, some creams, moisturizers, cleansers, and astringents are far too harsh for oily skin types and can cause excess dryness and blotchy skin.
One of the best ways to keep oily skin under control is to develop a good skin-cleansing routine. Washing your face with a liquid cleanser (never use bar soap!), then following by a gentle toner and pH-balancing moisturizer is a great place to start. You may have to try a few products before you find one that works, but try to stick to very gentle cleansers; the ones for sensitive skin usually work best for oily skin types. Try to perform this routine once at the beginning of the day and once again before bed.
There are many over-the-counter products available for treating oily skin that you can try out, but in severe cases, you may find that the best solution is to seek a dermatologist and try a prescription medication. If you are looking for a natural approach to clear skin, products containing tea tree oil or witch hazel are excellent, as they are naturally antibacterial. A good mud or clay-based masque once a week can also work wonders for tightening up pores.
You may want to consider products that contain grape seed or jojoba, as they are known for forming a sort of “seal” over the skin to keep bacteria and dirt out. You may also try an exfoliating scrub with oatmeal or apricot to rid the dead skin and daily grime from your skin.
There are an abundance of oily skin products on the market today, but it is very important that you choose from them wisely. If you are uncertain what to buy, it is strongly recommended that you obtain some advice from your local doctor. There are plenty of options available to you for curing oily skin, it is really just a system of trial and error when it comes to finding the right product. Even with prescription medication, you may find that one works better than others, or some may have undesirable side effects.

I found out Mr. Bun Bun has past away.
May he rests in peace.
i just used a harsh spot teatment and my skin looks awful around my mouth!
Pleeeeeeeeeease no splenda.
@lailaneyluv I was referring to my own mask btw, just for clarification.
This may sound weird/nasty but I make my own body masks with a mixture of all natural flour, olive oil, eggs, chemical free sugar, grounded coffee beans, milk, and potato juice.
LOL.
But this works like a CHARM! It exfoliates, tightens, moisturizes, and evens out my skin. It’s even getting rid of my tan (i tanned on my face, neck, arms, legs and feet, but the rest of me is SUPER pale)
If your going to make it, it should turn out as a paste and you can add honey btw.
Hope this helps someone!
hey michelle! thanks for this video. i’ve been itching to try this scrub and finally did! i actually used it as a body scrub and it works WONDERS!!! my skin feels soft and smells really good. i don’t even have to put lotion on after a shower which is great. thanks for this!
