when we think of oily skin, we often tend to think of
teenagers or warm weather, but it can be a problem at any age and
at any time of year. make sure your skin care products and cosmetics are oil-free, water-based,
or powder formulas and not rich creams and liquids.
Cleanse with a gentle cleanser every morning and
night to remove dirt, oil, and makeup without over hydrating
or removing too much of your skin's natural oils.
Exfoliate to remove dead skin cells to reveal fresh,
vibrant skin and stimulate your complexion at least three times a
week.
Tone your skin with an alcohol-based toner to
tighten pores and remove any traces of cleanser or other residue.
Moisturize
in the morning and night with a gel or oil-free lotion to protect
and not aggressively hydrate your skin.
Sun Block will protect your skin during the day.
Seasonal
Care for Oily Skin
it is expected that your skin experience slight changes
throughout each season.
Winter
is typically the skin’s driest season, due to decreasing humidity,
cold temperatures and increased time spent indoors with dehydrating
heating systems. apply richer, creamier moisturizers to the face and
body at this time to help maintain the skin’s healthy hydration levels.
consider using a humidifier at home and at the office to add moisture
to the air. alternate lightweight, water-based products with richer,
nourishing formulas.
Spring is when the skin is ready to shed layers of dead, flaky
patches, so exfoliation will be a top priority. as the season progresses,
you can shift to lighter cleansers and moisturizers in preparation
for the warm months ahead.
Summer usually means increased outdoor activity and sun exposure.
protect your skin with sun block and moisturizers with SPF during
the daytime every day. oil-free products are a smart choice to avoid
shiny, oily skin and clogged pores. remember, 80% of sun damage occurs
in the first 18 years of life!
Fall is a cool, refreshing transition from summer to winter
and requires all the essential skin care basics -- protection from
the sun with sun block, replenishing hydration and exfoliation.
