If you're someone who routinely suffers from greasy skin, your beauty regime can be a nightmare. You might have the best exfoliation regime known to man, yet no sooner have you cleansed your face and you will feel the grease beginning to return. To make matters worse, you will be more likely to get blackheads and spots than your friends, which is a horrible situation for a grown adult to find themselves in. However there is no need to get upset; skin care science is improving all the time so there are plenty of ways you can deal with your oily skin issues.
Choose a Good Cleanser
Although it's unnecessary to spend all your money on exfoliating scrubs that claim to be specially formulated for oily skin, you will want pass over the face scrubs at the bottom end of the price scale, unfortunately, your face needs a little more attention than other people's and you need to buy an exfoliating scrub that is of a decent quality in order for it to work on your skin. Cheaper scrubs will also contain harsh chemicals which will only exacerbate your skin troubles. If possible, choose an exfoliating scrub that is as light as possible, you will eliminate the chance of them clogging your pores even further.
Make Sure you Moisturise
An important thing to remember is that even though your skin may be greasy, it can still become dried out and needs to be moisturised the same as everybody else's skin. The best choice for someone with your skin type would be an oil-free moisturiser, which will not add to the existing oil levels in your skin. Choosing an anti-septic moisturiser with added ingredients like tea tree oil, eucalyptus or aloe vera can also be a good idea as they have the ability to reduce the amount of grease residue on your face.
Get Yourself Some Toner
Toner is one of the best skin care products to use if you have oily skin. Toner will not only cleanse your pores, but it will also tighten them up, meaning it's much more difficult for dirt and grease to get lodged in them and you'll be less likely to get spots and blackheads as a result. The great thing about toner is that there is a wide variety out there. Try to find one that doesn't put your skin under much stress; some solutions are made especially so they don't contain much alcohol and won't put your skin through unnecessary wear and tear.
Try Different Makeup
If you're susceptible to outbreaks of greasy skin, it may be your makeup that is causing the problem. Don't panic though, this does not mean that you can never wear cosmetics ever again, it just means you should change the types you are using.
