If you have oily skin you'll know your biggest problems are having relatively large pores, there is often a heavy and greasy like feel to your skin as well as it being constantly shiny. Its important to have a skincare routine that balances your skin, because when your skin is balanced it is at its happiest!
Your skincare routine should look like this:
1) Cleanse
2) Mask ( twice a week)
3) Tone
4) Lightweight Moisturizer/serum
Cleanser
Always rinse your face with warm water. This opens the pores and allows your face-wash to penetrate your skin. Cleanse your face twice a day to get rid of all the accumulated dirt and oil build up. Gel based or foaming cleansers are best for oily prone skin. Its also important to look for oil free cleansers.
Mask
A mask is an essential in any skincare routine as it helps get rid of imperfections, it prevents breakouts and it removes excess oils. The best masks for oily skin are clay and charcoal masks. They are mattifying and are great for removing blackheads and imperfections.
Toner
Toners are highly important, especially for individuals with oily and acne prone skin. Toners give you a PH balance, it adds a layer of protection and it closes your pores. Always go in with your toner directly after your cleanser unless you decide to put on a mask first. The best way to apply a toner is with a cotton pad.
Moisturizer
Many individuals think that because they have oily skin, moisturizing isn't important- wrong, it is! Moisturizing is important because it prevents moisture loss form the skin. However, a person with oily skin should use a lightweight moisturizer as you don't want to add unnecessary oils to your face.
