Managing Oily Skin with the Right Treatments
Oily skin can be a tricky beast to tame, but with the right approach, you can keep that shine in check while still maintaining healthy, hydrated skin. At Laser Smooth Company, we’re not just experts in laser hair removal – we also know a thing or two about skincare! Here are our top tips for managing oily skin.
Regularly Wash with Gentle Cleansers
It might be tempting to scrub away the oil with harsh soaps, but this can actually make things worse. Stick to gentle cleansers and warm water to wash your face. Avoid products with added fragrances or harsh chemicals, as these can dry out your skin, causing it to produce even more oil.
Try a Natural Astringent Toner
Natural astringents like witch hazel can be a lifesaver for oily skin. Witch hazel has anti-inflammatory properties and helps to tighten the skin, reducing oiliness. Just be sure to test it on a small area first, as some people may experience irritation or dryness.
Pat Yourself Dry
When drying your face, be gentle! Instead of wiping your face with a rough towel, pat it dry to avoid overstimulating your skin, which can lead to more oil production.
Use Blotting Papers
Blotting papers are your secret weapon against midday shine. They won’t cure your oily skin, but they’re perfect for soaking up excess oil throughout the day, leaving your skin looking fresh and matte.
Facial Masks for Oily Skin
Treat yourself to a facial mask a couple of times a week. Masks with clay or minerals can absorb excess oils, while honey masks can help with acne and oil control thanks to their antibacterial properties.
