Oily Skin Care Tips

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Not everyone is blessed with perfect, clear skin. There are many who have to put up with oily skin. If you are one of them, you have to follow proper skin care routine for oily skin. Failure to take proper care of oily skin, can give rise to acne, blackheads, whiteheads and pimples. Here we offer some skin care tips for oily skin.

Apply only oil-free foundations, powder blushers and powder eye shadows. Foundation should be used after bathing on the eyelids and lips. This ensures your cosmetics remain on your face for longer time.

Cleaning your face with mild soap and water twice or thrice daily will minimize the secretion of oil.

If you are outside, use baby wipes if your skin is sensitive to clean your face. Then re-apply your makeup. Apply dry facial masque once per week. Cover your face with hot, steaming washcloths and then apply the masque to open up the pores. This cleans your pores thoroughly.

Before going to bed, use oil-free moisturizer. For removing the oil present on the make-up, gently clean your face by using toilet tissue. The tissue will remove the excess oil without affecting the make-up.

Apply foundation and then small amount of under-eye concealer with a fingertip. This will hide the blemish under the eyes.

Lightly dab Witch Hazel on your scalp using a cotton ball. It absorbs the oil on the scalp. Ensure your water intake is at least 6-8 glasses per day. This removes the oiliness from the skin.
