Cleanse: Cleanse your face twice a day with a mild liquid cleanser or bar formulated for oily skin. Skip soaps that are harsh or detergent based, over time, these cleansers can damage your skin.
Moisturize: Use a moisturizer that is oil free to prevent clogged pores. Skip alcohol-ladden astringents before moisturizing as they may encourage already overactive oil glands to step up production.
Protect: Don’t skip sunscreen! Many people with oily skin skip sun protection fearing that the oil they contain will trigger breakouts. Oil-free sunscreens are a perfect solution, as they will protect your skin without adding extra shine.
Thanks! My skin is super oily in summer and I’m very fair/sensitive so I agree with your advice regarding mild products. What about oil-control products? Which do you recommend?
One of our favorite products developed for oily skin is our Skin Clear Hydrator. Other products in our Skin Clear line, like our Skin Clear Cleanser and Toner, will also work well with your skin.
Thanks Doc.
I personally use Spectro Jel or Cetaphil cleansers.
They are mild, yet effective products for oily/acne prone skin.
Best anti aging cream?I’m loonikg for a good anti aging night cream. I don’t really have that many fine lines but I want to use something early to prevent more lines and wrinkles. I have oily skin that is prone to acne so if there is something that can help with that too that would be great. I have been loonikg and the two treatments that have caught my eye are Olay Regenerist and Avon Anew Reversalist. I was just wondering which one is better for me (and overall).
Hi Juls. It sounds like you would love the Perricone MD Concentrated Restorative Treatment formulated with Vitamin C Ester, Glycolic and DMAE. It’s excellent for oily/acne prone skin and helps to erase surface lines right away.
