5 Tips to Help You Deal With an Oily Face

Introduction

An oily face is not only a cosmetic issue, but it can also be an indicator of a larger health problem. If you are struggling with an oily face, don’t worry – you are not alone.

In this post, we will share five tips to help you deal with an oily face.

Don't skimp on cleanser

If you have an oily face, it's important to use a cleanser that is designed to deal with oily skin.

Many people with oily skin try to save money by using a bar of soap or a lower-priced facial cleanser. However, these products are often too harsh for oily skin and can actually make the problem worse.

It's important to use a gentle, oil-free cleanser that will remove the oil and dirt from your face without stripping away your skin's natural oils.

Exfoliate once or twice a week

Exfoliating is key when it comes to oily skin. The idea is to remove the dead skin cells that are sitting on the surface and traping the oils and dirt. This will also help unblock pores and clear the way for your skincare products to do their job.

You can exfoliate once or twice a week, depending on your needs. Be sure to use a gentle scrub that is specifically formulated for oily skin.

Use an oil-free moisturizer

When it comes to oily skin, finding the right moisturizer is key. Most moisturizers are designed for those with dry skin, so it's important to find one that is specifically labeled as "oil-free."

Look for a light moisturizer that will help to control the oil production on your skin without making it feel heavy or greasy. We recommend our Mineral Moisturizer, which is lightweight, oil-free, and helps to mattify the skin.

Blot during the day

One of the best ways to control oil throughout the day is to blot. This can be done with a little bit of oil-absorbing paper or, if you're in a pinch, by using a toilette paper square.

To make sure your blotting technique is effective, press down on the tissue and hold for a few seconds. You want to make sure all of the oil is removed, not just moved around.

If you have an oily T-zone, you can also try using an oil-control primer before you apply your makeup. This will help to keep your makeup in place and prevent it from sliding off your face.

Use powder or oil-absorbing sheets

If you have an oily face, you know the struggles all too well. The shine, the greasy feeling, the makeup that slides right off by lunchtime...yuck! But don't worry, we've got you covered. 

Here are 5 tips to help you deal with an oily face:

1. Use a mattifying primer before applying your foundation. This will help to absorb any excess oil and keep your makeup in place all day long.

2. Use a powder foundation rather than a liquid foundation. Powders are less likely to cake and will help to control the oil on your face.

3. Avoid using cream-based products, as they will only aggravate the issue. Stick to light, powder-based products instead.

4. If you're going to be wearing blush or bronzer, try a matte formula rather than a shimmery one. Shimmery formulas will only make your oily skin look worse.

5. Use oil-absorbing sheets throughout the day to soak up any oil that accumulates on your face. This will help to keep your skin looking matte for longer periods of time.

Conclusion:

An oily face can be a nuisance, but with these five tips, you can help control the oil and keep your face looking matte all day long.
