Shiny skin, large pores and spots are just a few characteristics of oily skin. While it may seem like oily skin is something you’d see in your teenage years, all ages can experience oiliness. The key to managing an oily complexion is to establish a good skincare routine. Cleansing is an essential part of any skincare routine and if you’re unsure where to start, here are a few tips on how to effectively cleanse oily skin.

Avoid using a harsh cleanser

Choosing the wrong cleanser for your skin type will do more harm than good. Instead of opting for a cleanser that will strip your skin of its natural oils like an alcohol based or foaming formulation, choose a gentle cleanser – an alcohol-free formula or one tailored towards sensitive skin will be effective. Ideally, you want a cleanser that will help to balance your skin so it won’t produce as much excess oil.

Use a gentle exfoliant

Removing dead skin cells from the skin will help to prevent spots. Blemishes occur due to oil, grime and dead skin cells blocking pores. By eliminating these elements from the surface of the skin, you’ll reduce the likelihood of spots occurring. Effective exfoliation can occur via a chemical exfoliator, such as glycolic acid. A glycolic acid liquid exfoliator or glycolic acid wipes will brighten, smooth and clear your skin.

Try double cleansing

Double cleansing as part of your evening skincare routine is very effective in removing your makeup and any excess oil. First, use a balm or oil to eliminate makeup or grime from your complexion. Using oils on oily skin won’t make your skin produce excess amounts of oil, in fact, it can help to balance the skin. Follow up with a gel or cream cleanser to remove any traces of oil from your skin.

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.”
