If you have oily skin, you are prone to acne, blackheads and spots. Your skin probably looks shiny and thick. Just as with any skin type, taking certain precautions and special care can help reduce skin problems.



The following are 10 tips for taking care of oily skin.

Wash your face twice a day – once in the morning and once before bed. Washing more often can strip your skin of all the natural moisturizers and increase oil production. The only time you should wash your face more than twice a day is if you have been perspiring.
Use a gentle cleanser. * House of Phreedah Cleanser is the best *
If you are experimenting with different cleansers to find one that works for you, keep a notebook and write down the date, what cleanser you are using and keep track of how your skin looks after a few weeks. If you notice irritation, write that down so you know not to try that cleanser again.
Don’t scrub your face as this can stimulate oil production.
If you use a toner, use it only on areas that are oily, such as your forehead or around your nose. If you have areas that aren’t oily, toners can create dry patches.
If you have oil build up in between facial washings, use a medicated pad or blotting paper to remove excess oil. These products have the added benefit of being portable, allowing you to freshen up your face no matter where you are.
Oily skin still needs to be moisturized, but be careful to choose the right moisturizer. Look for water based or oil-free moisturizers and stay away from creams and heavy moisturizers.
When choosing foundation and other make-up, pick those with gel, liquid or powder bases. If using a liquid make-up make sure it is water based, not oil based. Makeup labeled “noncomedongenic” contain ingredients that won’t clog your pores.
Exfoliate once a week to help loosen and remove dirt and oil in your pores.
No matter how tempted, don’t pick, pop or squeeze pimples as it can cause scarring and leave red spots on your face.

Remember, having oily skin does have some benefits. Those with oily skin tend to age slower. Oily skin tends to wrinkle less than those with dry or normal skin. Always remember to apply sunscreen before going outside, no matter what.

If you are also dealing a lot with oil skin issues then I think you must try this remedy. Take a handful of oats (natural plain porridge oats) and put it in a cup or small bowl, add just enough cream (or warm milk), or even just water until it forms a paste. Then spread on your face and wait about 3-4 minutes. Then wet your hands and slowly massage it in circle motions for 1-2 minutes, you'll love the feel of it. Then rinse. It's awesome for oily/normal skin and leaves it so extremely soft. It also does a great job at fading marks and overall makes the skin look good. Do this 1-2 times a week. This is very helpful tip, you must try it once....besides this you can also read :
