If you have oily skin you may suffer more from spots or acne. But, the good news is that all that extra sebum will give you a youthful complexion in the long-term. Here are a few tips to get the best out of oily skin.

Cleansing

Cleanse twice a day. Make it part of your morning and evening beauty routine. Choose a foaming gel for cleansing because it will be lighter on your skin. Foam cleansers remove the extra sebum gently so you shouldn’t feel any tightness after you’ve cleansed.

Exfoliating

Use an exfoliator once or twice a week. Rub your face gently, being rough will only encourage more oiliness. A clay cleanser or one that contains tee tree oil will help to rid your skin of the bacteria which causes spots and acne. Microdermabrasion is a fantastic exfoliator for oily skin and will help remove blackheads and unblock pores. Search now for your nearest SkinBase therapist offering microdermabrasion.

Using Toner

Using a toner after cleansing will help to remove any remaining impurities. Choose a toner without alcohol so your skin doesn’t dry out too much. 

Moisturising

Don’t think that because you have oily skin you shouldn’t moisturise. Cleansing can dry your skin out, so it does need hydrating. Choose a light moisturiser and one containing spf will help protect skin from winter sun.

Putting on Makeup

Use matte foundation which will help to reduce shine and finish off with matte powder. Don’t go overboard with the powder though or you’ll end up with blocked pores. If your skin begins to feel oily during the day, use matte-shine control papers to dab on your skin.

Touch

Don’t keep touching your face with your hands. If you’re sitting at a desk, resist the temptation to cup your face in your hands when you’re concentrating. Dirt and bacteria are transferred from your hands to your face when you touch your skin.

Finally…

Never, no matter how tired you feel, go to sleep without removing your makeup. It’s especially bad for oily skin. Your makeup will clog up your pores leading to breakouts of spots and acne.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
