Is your forehead an oil slick by lunchtime? If so, you might be
wondering what you can do to keep your skin from getting too oily as the
day goes on. Greasy skin can cause acne and melt off your makeup,
leaving you feeling unkempt and yucky. But using these at-home remedies
can help you fend off extra oil without harsh chemicals, so you can have
a shine-free visage all day long.
The first step to getting rid of extra oil is washing your face - at least twice a day, most experts recommend. If you think your skin can handle it, try using a mild detergent soap for extra oil-fighting power - but stick to glycerin soaps if your skin is especially sensitive.
Once your face is clean, apply a dab of cooling aloe vera gel to clean out your pores, protect your skin and sop up excess oil. Discovery Fit & Health suggests keeping the gel in the refrigerator, which will give it maximum refreshing potential. Plus, it'll feel great on that sunburn you got at the beach last week.
When you're getting ready in the morning, skip the moisturizer - it'll just exacerbate your problem. Instead, try a foundation or concealer with a touch of salicylic acid to keep your skin dry and soft all day long!
