Treatment for Oily Skin

... the Worst Thing You Can Do!

The best treatment for oily skin is simple... yet it does require consistent attention. Put yourself in control of the battle against that annoying shine, blackheads, and acne by following the easy oily skin remedies.

Treatment for Oily Skin in 5 Steps

1 - Gently wash your face twice a day. Select a mild, natural cleanser.

During the teen and young adult years, oil glands are in overdrive. Many assume the remedy is to scrub the face with harsh cleansers several times a day. But this is the worst thing you can do! This only irritates the skin which in turn protests by producing more oil.... the exact opposite of your goal to reduce oil.

2 - Apply an astringent or a toner after cleansing. This tightens pores, smoothing the appearance of your skin. Reapply during the day for a quick refresh.

3 - Treat yourself to a clay mask. Also known as a “mud mask,” this treatment is offered at exclusive spas. And with good reason. Clay extracts and absorbs oil from deep within your pores. Read about Fullers Earth Clay Mask for very oily skin.

Use this treatment for oily skin before a special evening out. But remember the “too much of a good thing” rule. Except for small problem spots, once or twice a week is enough.

4 - Exfoliate. Exfoliation will:

• Remove dead skin cells
• Balance oil production
• Shrink the appearance of enlarged pores

Again, choose a gentle product and never overdo exfoliation. The tendency to exfoliate too often is another mistake.

Never scrub your face with anything. Gently massage your skin with an exfoliating product. Twice a week is ideal for oily skin care.

Mountain Rose Herbs Facial Scrub is an all natural option. It can be used as a scrub or a mask. The botanical blend is great for eliminating dirt and oily build up. It's not an out of the jar product, however. but you simple add water or herbal tea before each use.

5 - Apply an oil free moisturizer only if needed. Oily skin usually doesn’t require a moisturizer. Yet there are exceptions.

Oil and moisture are not the same. You may have oily skin but lack moisture. This is especially true as you age. Combination dry/oily skin requires a moisturizer on the dry areas … usually the cheeks and neck.
