Even though body oils help to keep your skin healthy, an overabundance of oil can cause acne and blemishes, which can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance.
Excess oily skin can give you a greasy look and make your makeup run, besides result in pimples and acne.
But solving the problem of oily skin doesn't have to mean settling for dry skin, which is also unattractive and unhealthy.
Here are some basic guidelines on how to treat oily skin for good and to maintain healthy, glowy and balanced skin!
One of the main factors for facial breakouts is because of natural skin oils trapping dirt and skin debris. Where too much oil flows, pores can easily become clogged and start breeding bacteria. Other reasons for breakouts include fluctuating hormones, stress and genetics.
Cleansing is an essential step in your skin-care routine!
It helps to remove sweat, sunscreen and makeup that causes a build-up of bacteria which can lead to blemishes.
What's even better than cleansing, is double cleansing!
It effectively breaks down makeup, dirt and debris on the skin’s surface.
It allows your treatment cleanser to penetrate the deeper layers of your skin and micro-exfoliates the skin on a daily basis.

Vitamin A main target is ageing but is also beneficial for scarring, blemishes and uneven skin tone. The main ingredient in the Vitamin A serum is Retinol which is commonly targeted towards older skin types but Retinol is beneficial to many skin concerns.
Vitamin A helps to regulate and slow oil flow. It’s an effective treatment for acne because of their ability to regenerate and heal the skin rapidly.
It reshapes the lining of pores, so oil can exit easily, instead of getting ensnared and resulting in clogged pores, pimples or blackheads.
Although this product is for all skin types those who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not recommended to use as it contains Retinol.
Resist the temptation to scrub away oily skin.
Contrary to what you may believe, scrubbing your skin doesn't help to clear acne, cleanse pores or reduce oiliness. Instead, it irritates the skin. Thus, avoid using abrasive pads, scrubs or washcloths.
Consider that when you use a washcloth or buff, it can stimulate even more oil secretion.
