Oily Skin Care Routine

If you have oily skin then you may have problems with acne and other types of oily skin drama. Your forehead is probably shiny even right after you wash it. You will notice your face feels greasy and dirty. This happens when your skin produces too much oil. This generally happens in your t-zone. Which is your forehead, down your nose around your mouth and on your chin.  If you do, then this oily skin routine can help!

Steps to an Oil-Free Complexion

1. Wash good, wash often!  Chronic oil production may be hereditary or caused by environmental factors.  Keeping your complexion free of dirt, personal care products and excess oil is your first step towards keeping you face clean and oil-free.  Alcohol-free and Paraben-free face washes are recommended. It is generally suggested you use an organic or herbal-based face wash 2-3 times per day. This will help control sebaceous gland over-activity without drying-out your skin.
2. Use a Toner!  The highest concentrations of oil on your face are in the "T Zone", the area around your forehead, along your nose and chin.  This area has the highest concentration of sebaceous glands, thus the biggest oily skin problems, including acne and blemishes.  Use a oily skin toner with Zinc PCA to help control oil in these areas.  A spot treatment in the morning and evening will work wonders.
3. A weekly masque helps!  For severe oiliness, use a face masque (mask) once a week. Again, those with Zinc PCA are best suited for helping control sucretions while giving your face a moisturizing treatment to avoid drying and flaking.
