3. Break Outs!?
2 words: Retinol exfoliator. This great invention is like Draino for your pores. It’s great because it couples as an assistant in the limitation oil production. The best time to apply this treatment is at night. Retinol is known to make your skin very sensitive to sun exposure, and can also be very drying. Its important to follow-up with a good moisturizer to make sure your skin stays hydrated.
4. Moisture! Moisture! Moisture!
The biggest myth of them all is that people with oily skin don’t need to moisturize. Unfortunately, too many of us don’t understand the concept of how our skin works. People with oily skin often are so busy stripping and cleansing their face, that they don’t realize they are removing needed moisture. When you skin routinely loses its necessary moisture, increased oil production is triggered, often leading to oil overload. So, be sure to keep a balanced routine. Apply a good non-comedogenic, water-based moisturizer both in the morning and at night.
5. Stay Hydrated!
It’s important to remember to drink plenty of water. This not only keeps your skin calm, but keeps you properly hydrated as well.
I hope this helps!
