How to deal with oily skin


Is anyone else sick of their face looking like a ball of light in photos?

Endless face-washing, heavy makeup and dabbing your t-zone constantly are all indicators that you are subject to oily skin too. Fortunately, there are lots of things that you can do at home to win in the battle against greasiness.

Keep skin clean by washing your face twice a day. If you use a detergent soap and find that it is too harsh, switch to a more gentle glycerin soap. My favorite facial soap right now is Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Cream Soap, which leaves my skin at a perfect level of moisture and softness.

Use aloe vera to absorb oil and clear your pores. Apply it after washing your face, and you can keep it in the fridge for a refreshing burst of coolness every time you use it.

Keep your hair away from your face because oily hair and oily skin go together, so if you have bangs, pin them back for a less oily forehead.

Use a scrub to remove excess surface oil. However, if you have acne, this can aggravate your face, so skip it.

Use moisturizers that are water-based and oil-free, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture.

Don't touch your face because you transfer oil and dirt from your hands onto your face.

If you try these tips, you should be photo-ready 24/7!

Live Beautiful everyone!
