How to Create a Beauty Regimen for Oily Skin

Do you have a beauty regimen for your oily skin? Having a beauty regimen is a step toward the right direction. However, having an improper beauty regimen can be considered as taking two steps backward in the world of skin care. Closely examine your oily skin regimen. You could be treating your skin like it is dry or normal skin, rather than using products to compliment its true oily nature. Discover exactly how oily skin should be treated and you will have your skin down to a science.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cleanser Moisturizer Retinol product Moisturizer Overnight cream

1. Cleanse your oily skin. Squeeze a quarter-size amount of cleanser specifically made for oily skin. Search for an oil-free cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These chemicals work to prevent breakouts which can be common to oily skin. Lather your skin 2 to 3 times per day, but never more than this frequency. Over washing can actually kick your glands into overproduction mode.

2. Exfoliate your skin. Use approximately a dime-size of exfoliant. Scrub this once or twice a week.

3. Moisturize your face. Apply a nickel to a quarter amount of moisturizer with SPF and antioxidants. Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Apply a moisturizer every morning. It is okay to reapply moisturizer since blotting oily skin may remove the product.

4. Apply a product with retinol. Retinol is an anti-aging product. Ever night, use retinol gel to get rid of fine lines. You only need a pea-size amount of the product.

5. Use an overnight cream. Look for a cream with vitamin C to lighten discoloration and provide a healthy glow over time.

Tips & Warnings

• Skip exfoliation if you have acne. This friction can actually be damaging and make your skin look and feel worse.
