How To Deal With Greasy Skin

By Scott Mogul


There are many hundreds of different oily skin remedies on the market today, some of which are rather expensive. The things you need to address greasy skin, nonetheless, are actually pretty simple. You want a good soap, perhaps some skin toner with salicyclic acid, a good oil free moisturizing cream, and some blotting paper if you need a fast and easy way to remove excessive oil from your skin during the day.

Cleaning

Wash your face 2 times a day with a mild cleanser. Do not use harsh cleansers or gritty scrubs. They may make your face feel clean but can really injure your skin. Don't wash your face more than twice a day unless absolutely necessary, because exorbitant washing removes helpful oils from your skin. After washing your face, pat your skin dry softly with a towel. Don't rub. Cleaners to consider include Aveeno Active Naturals Ultra Calming Frothing Cleaner, Cetaphil Light Skin Cleanser, Neutrogena Fresh Frothing Cleanser, and Biore Clean It Up Nourishing Gel Face Cleanser.

Toning

After you wash your face, you need to use a toner to get rid of additional dirt, oil, and debris. Look for a toner that contains salicyclic acid, an ingredient commonly found in aspirin. It helps stop and relieve acne and also gradually exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and stimulating new cell growth. Use a toner that is alcohol free. Toners to think about include Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner and Infinite Skin Illuminating Facial Acne Toner.

Blotting

You can buy blotting paper designed for blotting oily skin. It removes excess oil from the skin without any abrassive chemicals. Blotting paper is easy to carry in your purse or pocket and you can use it discretely anytime your face feels unacceptably oily. Countless skin protection manufacturers make blotting paper for this reason, including Earth Therapeutics, Proactiv, Mary Kay, and Neutrogena.

Moisturize

It might seem that applying moisturizing cream to oily skin would only make matters worse, but that's not true. Apply a quality moisturizer daily, but make sure you choose a moisturizing cream that's oil free. Good skin retains moisture and produces some natural oils. Since some oily skin treatments strip away those natural oils and leave skin excessively dry, employing a good moisturizer is very critical if you're dealing with oily skin. If you spend much time outside in the sunshine, be sure to use a moisturizer that contains sun lotion. Brands we recommend include Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, Alba Botanica, and Skin Medica.
