Title: Tips and Tricks for Oily and Dry Skin Types
1Tips and Tricks for Oily and Dry Skin Types
2Oily Skin Skin that produces high levels of sebum
is considered oily. People with oily skin tend to
have enlarged pores and, due to the bacteria oil
attracts, are prone to breakouts. Stress, hormone
levels and certain medications can cause oily
skin, but genetics play big role in your skin
type too. Thanks parents!
3What to do Daily 1. You know that crazy method
where people with oily skin use oil cleansers to
help calm sebum production? It works. Oil
cleansers break down the sebum on your face like
no other. Try cleansing with sweet almond oil to
help clear your pores. 2. Take toning down to a
few times a week, rather than every day. Most
toners can be harsh and dehydrating for your oily
skin. Toners are meant to shrink pores, restore
the skins pH and provide protection, all good
things! We dont want to defeat toners purpose
by using one with bad ingredients. Skin care
products with high levels of alcohol are also too
harsh and can be dehydrating for the skin. This
will cause your skin to overcompensate and
produce even more oils to balance out the
moisture lost while toning. When you do reach for
a toner, try a non-alcoholic one like good ol
witch hazel.
4Dry Skin Signs of dry skin are pretty apparent
slightly rough in appearance and to the touch,
flakiness, tightness maybe even itchiness. If
youve got dry skin you know the importance of
maintaining moisture levels year around.
