Oily Skin Home Care Treatment

Hi guys! Here are some home care treatment for those who are having problem with oily skin especially during summer. It's pretty simple and really is effective. You can try it and see the changes :) So, here are the steps:

1.    Wash Your Face Properly

The most important step in skin care is washing your face properly. Even though you may want to skip your nightly face-washing routine and just roll into bed after a long day or think those few minutes will make you late for work at the start of the day, here’s your reminder to ALWAYS WASH YOUR FACE. Cleansing your face is one of the most important parts of taking care of your body, and more importantly, keeping your face healthy. Using a dermatologist-recommended cleanser is your best bet to long-lasting, healthy-looking skin.

2.      Apply Ice Pack to Tighten Up Pores

After washing your face, you need to apply ice pack on your face. This helps to tighten up your pores and it even decreases the oil production on the skin for sometime.

3.    Apply Carbonic Acid Pack / Mask

Apply a carbonic acid pack or mask for 1~2 times per week after washing your face. It helps in fighting dullness and spots as well as combatting sagging. Apply it for 10~15 minutes and wash it thoroughly. You will find out that your skin became smoother and softer. Below is an example for carbonic acid pack, SCINIC All Day Pore Clay Mask:

4.    Apply Toner

Then, apply facial toner with a clean cotton pad. I highly recommend you to use Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner. It made my face feel clean but not super fresh. It didn't make my face feel dry or tight and it does not irritate my skin. This is just my own opinion.

5.    Moisturize Your Face

The next step that is vital in skin care is moisturizing your face. You need to use the suitable moisturizer to moisturize your face instead of using nourishing cream. No matter whether your skin type is dry, oily or sensitive, you shouldn't skip the moisturizing step in your skin care routine. Leaving it out might quickly cause redness or flaking, and in time it can allow wrinkles and other aging signs to show up on your skin earlier than they otherwise might. Also, if you have sensitive skin or a skin condition, moisturizing regularly might help ease some of the irritation. One of the best moisturizer that I know is Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel. It make my face feel fresh and moist and it doesn’t feel sticky at all.

Extra Tips to Control Sebum:

1.     Drink cabbage juice. Cabbage helps in minimizing oil. It can reduce the production of oil and sebum on our face.

2.     Eat nuts. Nuts helps to improve oil-moisture level in our body. By eating nuts, our face will be moisturized and not too oily.

That's all for oily skin home care treatment. You can try it at home. Hope it really helps you to solve oily skin problem. Thanks for stopping by ^^
