How to Fight Oily Skin

Heredity, climate, smoking and many other things play a role in the condition of your skin. Taking care of oily skin can be easy or complicated. Following certain procedures can help you fight that oily skin and keep your skin clean and fresh.  

Items Needed

• Cleanser


• Toner


• Blotting paper


• Sunscreen

• Use a gel cleanser rather than a creamy one or soap. Soap dries out the skin and makes it flake; creams leave residue and makes your skin look oilier. Wash your face twice a day only as washing too much dries out the skin and that makes it produce even more oil.


• Insert a toner carefully into your cleansing routine. Make sure not to use one with alcohol in it as this dries out the skin. Use a clay-based facial mask twice a week. This cleans out the pores and helps the skin stay clean and fresh.


• Protect your skin from the sun with a gel that has a high SPF. Once again, using a cream is not good for oily skin.


• Blot away any excess oil or shine doing the day. You can purchase special blotting paper for this if you are a woman that will not ruin your makeup. If your skin breaks out, becomes oilier or starts flaking you need to make an appointment with your doctor. There could be an underlying cause for the problem and he will find the underlying cause of it for you and prescribe the right treatment to clear up your skin.
