cleansing
Keeping the skin clean is the most basic and first step of skin care. Dirty skin can cause many skin problems, but it can create more problems for oily acne-prone skin. Due to oily skin, dirt can accumulate in the skin pores and cause acne. Therefore, it is important to do Kalinga both in the morning and at night. Use a cleanser that doesn't make the skin too dry, otherwise, the skin will produce more oil to reduce that dryness. Along with this, you can also use a cleanser containing salicylic acid.
Moisturizer
There is a myth associated with oily skin that they do not need to be moisturized, whereas this is not so. Moisturizing is as important for oily skin as it is for dry skin. However, keep in mind that your moisturizer is gel-based and does not clog the skin pores.
Face mask
Excess skin oil can clog the skin pores. Therefore, you must use such face packs, which can clean the pores of your skin. For this, you can use clay and charcoal mask. It also reduces the oiliness of your skin.
Don't touch pimple
The relationship between oily skin and pimples is very old. No matter how hard you try, one or two pimples are bound to appear, but there is nothing to panic about. If you are troubled by them, do not press them or touch them repeatedly in an attempt to fix them quickly. Pressing them can cause stains on your face and there is also a possibility of infection. Therefore, do not touch your pimples again and again.
Exfoliate
With oily skin, we often make the mistake of over-exfoliating. Due to this, the skin becomes more dry and the problem of acne can increase because the skin starts producing more oil. Therefore, it is better to exfoliate once or twice a week. Along with this, also keep in mind that do not use too harsh an exfoliator. This may cause micro-tearing.
Apart from all these things, consult a doctor if the problem of acne increases.
