Although oily skin can clog pores and lead to increased acne breakouts, oily skin also has many benefits. Oil helps preserve the skin, and people with oily skin tend to have fewer wrinkles. The key is to strike a balance between having too much oil and maintaining your skin’s
Natural moisture.
1. Wash your face every morning and evening. Don't scrub your face, in fact it's a general rule. Stop using sponge to bath. That your sponge is older than my dog(my dog is 3 years) and you're still using it. A lot of bacteria's have grown, impregnated
Their partners and have even had grand children on that your sponge. Sponge can also cause irritation and increased inflammation especially if you have acne. Moreover, they don't really remove any dirt's because if you cleanse with a cleanser after sponging you will still
Collect more dirt's from your face.
Go to a beauty store, buy any gentle liquid facial wash that doesn't have alcohol/fragrance and use that to bath/wash your face.
Also if you use soaps like lux, premier cool, Eva, etc you will realize that after bathing, your
Face appears really cool, and a little bit dry. Later during the day, your face will launch a refinery and you will begin to extract oils from it. Let me explain this phenomenon:
Soaps like that strip your face off its natural moisture that's why you have that dry, cool
Feeling after bathing with it. Your face will try to replenish those lost oils,and it will do it double. The process continues Every time you use that soap and sponge, before you know, you have become the CEO of a oil company built on your face
These soap are mostly medicated or antiseptic. You can use them on your body but not your face... Or just avoid them generally. If no facial wash at hand use clean water to wash your face. Use a liquid body wash for general bathing.
2. Choose skin products that are oil free. Including makeups, moisturizers, cleansers. Throw away anything containing alcohol in your products.
3. Wear sunscreen as long as it's day time.
4. I know it's tempting,
But don't touch your face. doing so can spread dirt, oil and bacteria from your hands to your face. Only touch your face when you’re cleansing, moisturizing or applying sunscreen or makeup, and make sure your hands are clean first.
5. Immediately after bathing cleanse your face, Apply a serum, Moisturize and wear sunscreen. Sunscreen should be applied on exposed areas of your body too. Spray a perfume and smell nice. You don't need to be a celebrity to look good. Practice it now because you fit blow
Tomorrow. If you follow these tips, you will see quick changes. And if you follow my page and put my contents into practice, you will have a better skin overall. Or don't you think so?
Every person’s skin is different, and there is no "one size fits all" approach to skin care. If you are concerned about the amount of oil your skin is producing you can try speaking to a dermatologist.

The ordinary glycolic acid toning solution has got 7% glycolic acid.
Now the brand says it's a toner, and should be used once daily.
That's dangerous because there's nothing toning in the toner. You're just going to over exfoliate your skin and it's trouble.
Now I think Neutrogena has got a facial scrub as well. People just go to the shelf and assume that because the reputable brand writes FACIAL on it, so it's ideal to use on the face. That also wrong and it's a lie.
It's absolutely hypocrisy if you undermine organic skincare vendors by saying because no proper public orientation about how their products are formulated, they become fake but still go ahead to buy a facial scrub from Neutrogena, because they're popular and it's imported.
You're probably a new follower if you still use scrubs on your face as an Exfoliant.
You probably assume your dead skin cells are like a mask covering your face, and you need to scrub it off.
In this place, we Exfoliate chemically not with scrubs.
Chemical Exfoliation is superb because it not only targets our dead skin cells, they also help improve skin concerns. You can't treat acne by using a scrub. That's a big scam, but you can treat acne by Exfoliating with a BHA or an AHA.
So now, chemical exfoliants are categorized into two.
1. AHA: alpha hydroxy acids; they include Glycolic acid or mandelic acid or lactic acid. These are the most common in skincare.
Glycolic acid has tiny molecules and penetrates the skin deeper. And can help improve
1. If your Cleanser contains alcohol denat or isopropyl alcohol, it's drying and not good for your skin.
2. Witch hazel or anything astringent related aren't good for your skin due to their stripping effects.
3. Cleanse for 60sec.
4. If you've got inflammation concerns, cleanse for less time, maybe 30 secs, and do it only once daily at night. You can wash your face with just clean water when you wake up in the morning.
5. Cleanse properly and focus on the areas around your nose.
6. If you've got oily skin, going for a stripping Cleanser which mostly contains drying alcohols like the ones mentioned above will only worsen your oily skin — puts a strain on your sebaceous glands.
Stick to gentle foaming or lotion or gel cleansers.
Skincare ingredients you can use or avoid when pregnant✨ [share to someone]
1. Retinol/Retinoids are superior ingredients in skincare and should be treated with respect at all times. They're vitamin A derivatives and should be avoided during pregnancy or while nursing.
2. Benzoyl peroxide is an excellent ingredient to combat pimples that appear "ear and dear" and should be great to use even when pregnant, but stick to 5% or less, so that junior can continue to kick harder and score goals.
3. Don't use skin brighteners that contain hydroquinone. This is common. Very common. Pregnant/nursing mom's bleaching their skin with steroids and high doses of hydroquinone because they want to look like Kim Kardashian.
Ingredients/products I really trust can help your inflammed pimples:
1. Benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, differin/adapalene gel
2. Lots of Hydration & anti-inflammatory: snail mucin, niacinamide.
3. Exfoliation: mandelic acid serums.

The @cerave 4% benzoyl peroxide cream cleanser. Great for people with (nodules, pastules, cysts) I suggest you alternate with a gentle cleanser.
A benzoyl peroxide spot treatment of 5% will also do your acnes good.
For hormonal acne or any inflammed acnes, sulfur is more efficient and gentler than benzoyl peroxide as benzoyl can be drying for most people. Sulfur works by sucking out excess sebum. Not to look far, @Viviglowskin sulfur clay mask is affordable and will do a lot on your skin.
