To reduce oil from the face, here are some effective methods:
- Cleanse the face regularly twice a day with a gentle, pH-balanced, non-soap cleanser to remove excess oil without triggering more production.
- Use products containing salicylic acid or other gentle exfoliants to remove dead skin cells and excess oil.
- Apply oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without adding more oil.
- Use blotting papers or medicated pads to absorb excess oil during the day.
- Consider clay masks, especially green clay, which can absorb oil from the skin surface.
- Avoid harsh scrubbing or alcohol-based products that can irritate skin and worsen oiliness.
- Maintain a healthy diet focusing on low glycemic foods, avoid excessive alcohol, and drink plenty of water.
- Reduce stress through relaxation techniques to help control oil production.
- Use mineral or setting powders that absorb oil, and always remove makeup before bed to prevent clogged pores.
Following these steps consistently can help manage oily skin effectively.
