Care Tips for Oily Skin
Dealing with oily skin is never fun or easy, but that shouldn’t stop you from leading a normal life. You can still have a clear complexion with excessive oil, even if you have to work a little harder to make that happen. The tips below will help you adjust your lifestyle and hygiene habits to ensure that your skin looks its best at all times. Read on to learn how you can regain control of your appearance.
Keep Your Hands Down
The oils on your skin are hungry for bacteria that can clog your pores and lead to pimples. Your fingers happen to be excellent sources of these bacteria, and they can spread oils from one part of your face to another. You need to avoid touching your face as much as possible, especially if you’re breaking out. If you start to consciously focus on what you do with your hands, you’ll be able to ensure that you don’t make the situation worse than it already is.
Keep Your Bed Clean
Ever wonder where all that oil goes when you sleep at night? Right onto your pillow and sheets. You need to wash your bedding on a regular basis, and consider taking a shower before you go to bed. You may also want to buy protective underlining for your pillow cases and bottom sheets so that your oils don’t get into the actual fibers of your pillows and mattress.
Maintain a Healthy Diet
The theory that “you are what you eat” applies to your skin more than you think. If you eat a lot of fatty, greasy foods, chances are you’re going to have a fatty, greasy complexion. Try to stay away from anything fried or overtly unhealthy, and focus on consuming fruits, veggies, and lean proteins. This will restore your skin from the inside out.
Boost Your Skincare Regimen
You may not be able to wash your face with a simple cleanser every day, even if that’s what everyone does around you. Most people with oily skin have to do a lot more to make sure that their oils don’t get out of control. Try microdermabrasion, deep cleansing masks, zit zappers, and whatever else you may need to keep your skin looking like it should. The more you experiment, the better off you will be.
Follow the tips above the next time you find yourself dealing with oily skin, and you’ll be super soft in no time.
