Know how to control oily skin : Dos and Don’ts

Check below some dos and don’ts that should be followed to tackle with the oily skin.

Select right face wash

If you are having oily skin, select a face wash that suits best for your skin. The cream should be transparent without any creamy formula. Select the face wash that contains benzoyl peroxide, tea tree oil and salicylic acid which are best suited for oily skin.

Avoid heavy make-up

Avoid heavy make-up like foundations as they clog the pores and secrete more oil. Instead you can use a tinted moisturizer or BB cream with silicone that forms a shield on the skin. Also use powder-based products instead of liquid products.

Moisturise your skin

Moisturise your skin regularly as skin may produce more oil when it is dry. So hydrate your skin and use ingredients like aloe vera, glycerine and hyaluronic instead and avoid coconut oil, petroleum and cocoa butter.

Skin toner

Make it a habit to use skin toner for your skin care. Skin toner regulates skin pH levels and you can use alcohol-free gentle toner to unclog pores.

Blotting papers

Use blotting papers to absorb the excess oil on the skin and to get rid of this excess secretion on the face.
