The first step to treating oily skin really is to cleanse the skin surface with a very mild synthetic detergent containing no oils, waxes or lipid agents. Oily skin can be sallow and tends to have large pores everywhere except on the neck and around the eyes. But, even this condition can be eliminated using the right method to make the skin look more attractive and appealing. One could begin by also using cleansing products that are low on hydroxyl acids. These help remove the dead cells from the upper-most levels of the skin. Added with a light moisturizer, they act just fine.
Other Tips
Another way of degreasing oily skin is using a lathering cloth for cleansing. These cleansers contain a low level of surfactants, which are the ideal type, the mild type. Try these. Third, use astringent, almost every day. These will help remove the excess oils from your skin. And remember not to use an alcohol-based product. Once you’ve managed to softly scrub the skin of all oil, you could apply a light, oil-free moisturizer, just in case your skin feels too dry or tight. Another handy tip – Don’t use mineral oils or cocoa butter on your face as they will only make your skin even more oily.
Final Thoughts
Finally, choose your make-up carefully. Buy oil-free products. That itself will ensure that your skin doesn’t get the chance to become oily during the day while you have your basic make-up on. Use water-based or non-comedogenic make-up. And make sure that your sun screen isn’t oil-based, either. You could go in for a gel, which is definitely less greasy. Maintain your diet. Stick to a low-fat diet, with plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and complex carbohydrates thrown in for good measure.
Try out these few procedures and see the difference for yourself. Good luck.
