How do i get rid of my oily skin?
Use a non-oily facial wash and make sure the powder you are putting on your face does not have any excess oil.
talcum powder is good for that. put on a lot of talcum powder before bed and go to sleep with it on your face.you have naturally oily skin. its in ur genes to have naturally oily skin. some of the excess production of sebum may be comming from dry skin. use a moisturizer always after ur shower and after you wash ur face. i prefer to wash my face 3 times a day. once in the shower, once when im home for the night to get all the debris off from the outside, and the last time is before heading to bed. i always moisturize afterwords with an oil free moisturizer. if it does not cut down even a bit of the oil production, that was not the issue and that is naturally the way ur skin is. most people of color tend to have more oil production happening. its not necessarily a bad thing, infact its a good thing in terms of how fast u age. because your skin has more lubrication and a bit of a natural coating, ur skin will age slower. an oily face does not necessarily mean acne either. im acne free and i have oily skin. what you want to do is use a mattifying primer to help with the oil and then use ur powder. do this all after u have moisturized and cleaned ur face of course. that sheen after a while of wearing makeup, if its only a little bit, that is actually a great thing to have. its called a dewy look, a natural glow to the skin. just repowder ur nose and in the middle of ur forhead or use oil blotting papers in the day. usually i only ned to repowder my face once if its an 8-11 hour period im using the makeup. i use burt bee’s tomato toner and peter thomas roth moisturizer with SPF. my foundation is revlon colorstay liquid. my powder is sephora brand mattifying pressed powder. the primer i use on my nose and forhead is smashbox photo finish light foundation primer ..eventhough its expensive, because im using it so sparingly and only in select areas, it lasts forever.
i also use a face scrub about 3-4 times a week. its usually every other day. i use it when i take a shower when my pores are open from the steam make sure u massage ur face for at least a minute or two since u do have oily skin…oily skin tends to collect build up a bit easier hehe.
