There isn’t anything worse than losing your war with oily skin shine before it’s time for lunch. Pretend that you are working and you run into a person who is very important to the course of your career. A few minutes after that you look in the mirror. What you see is so embarrassing you want to crawl into a hole. Has that ever happened to you? Probably the worst thing you can do is scrub the heck out of your face with the bathroom soap. The frustration with your current face, however, might make you do just that. The reason for that is washing your face to the point where it’s so dry is only setting the stage for oily face shine long before you go home. Overly dried out facial skin sends your oil glands the message that they have a fire that needs putting out. Then they switch to production overdrive to moisten your skin. This is an incredibly common scenario and we can help you fix it by using the tips in this article.
You can get rid of your oily skin shine problems even while wearing makeup! Match your skin type to the skin care products you buy. You also want to avoid oil based products: choose water based instead. Water is a natural astringent and doesn’t add to the problem of excessively oily skin. Another excellent tip depends on where you live. If you typically experience hot and humid weather–especially in the summers–cut down on your makeup use; you don’t need a lot of it. Looking good can be as easy as only using moisturizer and blush–as covered up as you think you need to be. Only use skin cleansers that are made for your particular skin type. Always avoid using harsh soaps or ‘industrial’ soaps containing a medicine cabinet full of chemicals. When you wash off your face, try to remember that it is not the same thing as scrubbing a floor or your clothes.
What we mean is that it isn’t necessary to scrub and scrub to remove the oil–even if part of you thinks that it is a good idea. That is a mistake because you will dry out and damage the outer skin layer. Your body will know that it has been damaged and guess how it will react? Your oil glands will jump into overdrive and produce as much oil as it can for your face.Using high quality moisturizers is a good idea for people with dry and with oily skin. Don’t forget that you need to choose one based on your skin type. If you have oily skin, then the moisturizer for your skin will be of a lighter quality.
You’re probably thinking “why do I need moisturizer if my face is already damp with oil?” That is not a paradox because you will be helping your skin to have enough moisture, which it needs, and that will cause your oil glands, or sebaceous glands, from being hyperactive. Getting rid of the oily sheen is a matter of taking action as soon as you start to notice it, like by using skin blotting products. Those kinds of actions are obviously just for immediate and temporary relief. A good (and objective) look at your whole skin care routine can also help you take care of the issue on a better and longer lasting basis.
