Tips on Controlling Oily Skin


Hellllllo again! hope you all are well. Anyways, today I wanted to talk about controlling oily skin. I have really oily skin and sometimes it frustrates that I cannot wear anything on my face because - a) I live in Florida where its humid all year long; and b) its just the type of skin I have. So after following these helpful tips I’ve received over the time I thought I’d share them with you wonderful people :)

  The first step is to find a good daily face scrub. Anything that can control the oil in your face throughout the day. Good ones to look for are brands that promote like an acne wash because acne is most likely to be caused by the oil in your face. I’ve been using Neutrogena’s Oil-Free Acne Wash with Microclear Technology for about 2 months now and I honestly will never leave it. Clean & Clear and other brands like that have good scrubs as well but I personally like this one a lot. I used to use this scrub twice a day, but then it became very irritating so now I just use it only in the mornings. 
The second step is to get a moisturizer that is oil free! I’ve spent most of high school time using these moisturizers that just made my face feel so heavy and greasy. So I went into Sephora one day and I asked the sales associate if they had any face moisturizers that helps control skin and she showed me the Boscia Oil-Free Daily Hydration moisturizer. It even has SPF 15 & A PUMP! I tried it on and it doesn't even feel like I have any moisturizer at all! Its amazing! Though its a little bit pricey its worth it. 

The last step is staying hydrated. I cannot stress enough how much drinking water throughout your day helps. Its so important to keep hydrated because you’ll feel great and it will show in your skin as well. If your on the go just pop a small water bottle in your purse and drink up! At a restaurant, skip the Ice Tea and have some water. It will honestly make a difference on your skin.

I hope these tips were useful to you guys! If you guys think about other products that I should try or so just let me know!
