5 Tips To Help Control Oily Skin

Ever feel like your skin's playing a slick prank on you? Blame it on those overactive sebaceous glands! Sebum, our skin's natural moisturizer, is a blessing, but when it goes into overdrive, we're left with a greasy situation – oily skin, clogged pores, and the dreaded acne.  Remember, it's not about stripping away every ounce of oil from your face; it's about finding that sweet spot of balance. And guess what? I've got five game-changing skincare tips to help you reach that perfect equilibrium.

Taming oily skin is doable with the right skincare routine.  Here are 5 ways you can control your oily skin.

Use a Gentle Cleanser

Ditch harsh cleansers that leave your skin feeling like the Sahara Desert. Instead, opt for a gentle, foaming face wash. Look for cleansers that are oil-free, and noncomedogenic – that's just a fancy way of saying they won't gunk up your pores.

Handmade soap that contains activated charcoal is like a superhero for oily skin! Here's how it works its magic:  Activated charcoal has this amazing ability to absorb excess oil and impurities from your skin like a magnet.  When you lather up with a charcoal-infused soap, it dives deep into your pores, pulling out all that gunk and leaving your skin feeling squeaky clean. Plus, it helps to balance out your skin's oil production, so you're not left with that dreaded greasy feeling. Say hello to a fresh, matte complexion – courtesy of activated charcoal soap!

Find the Right Toner

It’s toner time! Think of using a skin toner as the MVP in your skincare lineup, swooping in to tackle any leftover grime your cleanser might've missed. Toners have come a long way in recent decades. Gone are the days of harsh astringents that left your skin feeling like it went through a battle. Today, it's all about soothing toners that pamper your skin. Remember to patch test the product on your inner arm before slathering it on your face to ensure it's a match made in skincare heaven.

Drink Plenty of Water

Now, let's talk hydration.  The more water you drink, the happier your skin will be. Hydrated skin is happy skin, and when your skin's happy, those active ingredients we just talked about work even better. Plus, drinking water can help balance out your oil production.  It's a win-win!

Moisturize Consistently

But wait, we're not done yet. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! I can't stress this enough, especially for my fellow oily-skinned girlies.  Choose a water-based moisturizer that won't clog your pores. It's like giving your skin a big drink of water – and who doesn't love a little hydration boost?

Don’t Skip the Sunscreen

Last but certainly not least, sunscreen! Yes, even if you're blessed with melanin-rich skin like mine, sunscreen is non-negotiable. Protect that gorgeous face of yours with a sunscreen that won't clog your pores. Look for ones with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide – they'll sit pretty on your skin without suffocating it.
