If you have oily skin, there are a number of ways to deal with it while not drying out the skin (which can lead to a host of different issues). Here are some of the best tips to help you control oily skin without sapping your skin of its essential hydration.

  • Wash your face twice a day – Instead of scrubbing your skin, just be sure to wash it every morning when you wake up and every evening before you go to bed. Use a gentle face wash that won’t trigger an outbreak.

  • Choose the right moisturizer – That’s right, you still have to moisturize even if you have oily skin. Just be sure to use a moisturizer that doesn’t contain more oils. A good moisturizer to use in the morning should also have an SPF of 30+ to protect your skin from sun damage.

  • If you wear makeup, switch to oil-free options – There are plenty of water-based makeup choices that won’t make your skin oily. Remember not to sleep with your makeup on.

  • Resist the urge to touch your face – I know it’s easier said than done, but dirt and oils from your hands can make oil issues on the skin of your face even worse.

  • Don’t use an alcohol-based cleanser – Alcohol is the enemy of moisture, so while you may get rid of the excess oil, you will leave yourself with the issues that come along with dry skin.

  • Try a facial – If you go to a medi-spa for your facial, you can be sure to get the right kind for your skin type. For example, at NY Face Place, we offer deep pore-cleansing facials as well as facials designed for acne-prone skin. These facials are ideal for removing excess oil while keeping your skin healthy and hydrated. It’s the perfect addition to your at-home skincare routine.
