Social media and the internet bombard you with tips and hacks but end up causing more confusion. Keep reading for simple easy solutions for taking care of oily skin

Things to do:

Follow a Skincare Routine: The best thing you can do to tackle the problem of oily skin is to commit to a daily simple skincare routine. People who suffer from oily skin tend to ignore the problem hoping it’ll go away on its own but sadly that’s not the case. Dedicated skin care and patience are necessary to combat this common issue. Because everyone’s skin is different, you may require the help of a dermatologist to figure the best routine for your skin type.

Moisturize: Usually people with oily skin skip the important step of moisturizing their skin. But if you don’t use a moisturizer, your skin will produce more oil and sebum to compensate, and that will only lead to further breakouts. The key is to used a water or gel-based moisturizer to provide the hydration required by your skin without clogging your pores.

Gentle exfoliation: Gentle peels can help target problem areas on your skin and leave the rest of your skin alone. Harsh exfoliation, while it may seem like a solution, can actually worsen the problem, so instead opt for a peel which targets dead skin and dirt buildup. Give a try to the different alpha hydroxy acids out there like lactic acid or glycolic acid. Gentle enzyme peels are also a good option.

Things to Avoid

Over-cleansing: Repeatedly washing your face can strip away essential oils that are required for healthy skin. This leads to breakouts and dryness which further signals your skin to make more oil. Finding the right balance is the key. Use very little face wash product and don’t overly lather the product. Make sure to remove any makeup residue prior to washing.

Using too many products: Using too many products introduces way too many different ingredients to your skin, and you can’t be sure what exactly is helping or harming. Less is more. Start with one product and then add on more only if you or your dermatologist feel it’s required.

Avoid touching your face: Our fingers are constantly in contact with different surfaces. This means we would have a mixture of dirt, bacteria, fungi, hand sanitizer and other chemicals on our hands at most times. Habitual touching of the face can regularly introduce all these harmful elements to our delicate facial skin and cause a vast array of problems.
