Treatment for Oily Skin & Enlarged Pores

Oily skin and enlarged pores go hand-in-hand. Enlarged pores are created by overactive sebaceous glands, which create excess oil that clogs, hardens and stretches out pores. Over time, this produces various skin problems like acne, blackheads and whiteheads.

Salicylic Acid Facial Cleanser

Salicylic acid facial cleansers penetrate the follicles and clear the excess oils from the pores. Look for a product with 2 percent salicylic acid to get the best benefits.

Skin Toner

Skin toners remove oil and any excess film from the cleanser as well as tighten pores. Consider using witch hazel or a homemade mixture of equal parts apple cider and water to avoid dehydrating the skin.

Facial Mask

A weekly clay mask or tea tree oil mask will help diminish blemishes, reduce excess oil and tighten pores.

Exfoliate

It is important to exfoliate the skin once a week to scrub off dead skin cells and regenerate new skin. Products like apricot scrubs or micro-beads are ideal. Professional dermabrasion is also an option.

Oil-Free Products

Oil-free lotions and makeup products will reduce and prevent oily skin.

Blotting Papers
