Fight Back Against Oily Skin with These Great Tips

Oily skin is something that no one wants to deal with on a daily basis. Besides giving your face a shiny, greasy look, oily skin can cause acne, enlarged pores and other skin irritations. Luckily, the professionals at Aura Wellness Spa, a popular New York Korean massage spa are sharing some tips you can do to help control the oil on your face and give your skin a healthy, clean glow.

Don’t Skip the Cleanser

How often do you go to bed without washing your face? Sometimes you are simply too tired to do one more thing in your day, including washing that dirt and makeup off your face. However, one of the biggest causes of oily skin is clogged pores. Not washing your face every morning and night allows dirt and oil to build up and contributes to breakouts. Using a good, but gentle, cleanser at least twice a day will help to keep the oil off your face and promote healthier skin. Be sure to always use a cleanser that is made for oily skin.

Alcohol-Free Toner Makes Such a Difference

After cleansing, adding an alcohol-free toner to your skin care regime will make a tremendous difference in how your skin feels on the inside and outside. Alcohol-free toners are great for oily skin because they help to remove excess oil and dirt that cleansers can leave behind. They also give your face a smooth and refreshing feel.
Once you begin using this toner, you will never want to be without it again.

Oily Skin Needs Exfoliation

Oily skin allows for the buildup of dead skin cells and dirt on your skin. It is important to exfoliate your skin at least twice a week to remove that dead skin and reveal fresher, cleaner skin. You should use a gentle scrubbing cleanser, and you should never scrub your skin too hard.

Moisturizer is a Must

People with oily skin often think that by adding a moisturizer to their skin care routine will make their skin oilier. This is simply not the case. Many cleansers will strip your skin of all its moisture. If you do not replace it by using a moisturizer, the production of oil on your skin will increase to try and replace the lost moisture. By using a moisturizer, you provide the required moisture needed by your skin, and you keep your skin from producing excess oil. Be sure to use an oil-free moisturizer that will not clog your pores.

The Very Best Thing You Can Do for Oily Skin

One of the absolute best things you can do to manage oily skin is to get a professional facial at least once a month. An aesthetician will work to remove excess oil and unclog pores by using specialized products and equipment that are very effective. The end result of a facial is one that simply cannot be replicated at home, and it is wonderful therapy for managing oily skin. Getting a facial is a great way to build a foundation for beautiful, oil-free skin.
