Oily Skin Care Tips
Here are some tips on how to treat oily skin and shrink your pores.
Wash Your Face Gently
Did you know that over-washing your face actually makes it oiler? Washing with harsh cleansers makes oil glands think your skin is drying out. The result is more old production. Theres a better way to go about getting clean skin.
- Wash your face twice a day with a cleanser that's gentle and effective.
- The goal is to get your pores clean without skin irritation.
- Use natural oil based cleansers or glycerin soap with anti-bacterial properties.
- These cleansers get the job done without making your skin angry.
Use Clay Masks
- Clay masks are awesome for drawing oil buildup and impurities out of your skin.
- They cut down your faces grease factor, tighten pores, get rid of blackheads and give your face a smoother texture.
Control Your Stress
- Stress is a big factor in skin oil production.
- A stressful life causes your oil glands kick into overdrive and BAM, your face is an instant environmental hazard (at least thats how its been for me).
- Manage stress induced acne with vitamins that control oil producing hormones in your body. They reduce oil and clear acne at the same time.
