Tired of the large pores and the pimples that come up every once in a while? It becomes very difficult for people with oily skin to manage their skincare. Due to sebaceous glands producing excess sebum, it often results in greasy looking face and black or whiteheads. The positive part for people with oily skin is that the oily skin is less prone to wrinkles and other ageing signs due to the moisture skin get from the natural oils.
We are giving you a simple daily skincare routine for the oily skin:
Morning
- Rinse your face with lukewarm water so all your pores are cleared.
- Use the cleansing gel or foam cleanser which is sulfate free because it will dry your skin which will further result in secretion of more oil. Use cleansers that have benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, beta hydroxy acid.
- You do need to moisturize your skin, but the key here is to use a light water-based moisturizer which shall keep your oil secretion in check.
- If you have to apply sunscreen, choose the one designed for oily skin, for example, mineral powder sunscreen or zinc oxide sunscreen. And for a foundation, use powdered foundation, which acts better than the liquid.
- Apply all the cosmetics 30 minutes before leaving the home to help the product settle into your skin.
