You are one of many if you struggle with oily skin, especially with the skin on your face and you seem to suffer from a perma-sheen. Having a layer of oil making your face shiny certainly isn’t attractive. It’s possible that you’ve been operating under the assumption that heavy layers of makeup can hide the problem. Or, worse, you try to hide it by continually wiping it away with whatever’s nearby (including your hand). Just so you know, you shouldn’t ever use your hand to wipe your face unless you are out of other options. Not only does this make your face dirtier it makes it oilier because you aren’t wiping away oil, you’re wiping on oil (you have oil on your hands too)! To truly combat the problem you need to learn how to care for your face and how your skin works and this article will teach you those things.

You can even get rid of the oily skin shine and keep wearing the makeup you love. The key is matching your skin type to your skin care products. Plus, it is best to use only those products that are water-based as opposed to oil based. Water is a natural astringent and doesn’t add to the problem of excessively oily skin. Where do you live? If you normally wear makeup and live in a hotter area of the world, the amount of coverage you need is only a fraction of the coverage you need in the colder and winter months. Looking good can be as easy as only using moisturizer and blush–as covered up as you think you need to be.

If you enjoy makeup, have you made sure to buy products that won’t make the problem even worse for you? Is your makeup heavy? If you wear a ton of makeup, you either change the amount you wear or commit to working harder to cleanse your skin. The reason behind this is that it’s possible that your glands are increasing their oil production in an attempt to clean the makeup off of your skin. You need to be watchful of ingredients because you need to avoid skin care products that are oil based. The simple reason is you don’t want to pour gas on the fire.

Every person in the world knows it is important to go to bed with a clean and makeup free face. By not taking this critical piece of advice, you are only laying the foundation for future oily skin. It is incredibly important that you make sure to take off every stitch of makeup at the end of the day. It is even better to remove it after work has finished for the day. No matter when you decide to do it make sure to use a good makeup remover. Once it is off, clean your face with a good cleanser for faces and apply a thin layer of moisturizer.

Getting rid of the oily sheen is a matter of taking action as soon as you start to notice it, like by using skin blotting products. Those kinds of actions are obviously just for immediate and temporary relief. If you want to permanently fix your problem you need to take a long, hard and objective look at every step of your skin care routine.
