How To Take Care of Oily Facial Skin

Updated on August 1, 2015

Oily And Combination Skin Solutions

Oily skin can be a real hassle. Do you struggle with trying to get it under control. What's even more challenging is trying to find products to use on your face that won't cause a breakout. If you have combination skin, you tend to have many of the same issues as someone with oil skin. The products I talk about work great on combination skin as well. I've struggled for years with this problem and hope that you find something that will help with your skin issues. Here's a few of the things that will make a big difference.

* Change cleansers and moisturizers with the seasons.

* Use a daily cleanser and twice a week a scrub.

* Moisturize daily.

* When it's your "time of the month" if you break out just don't use the moisturizer for 4-5 days

Misconceptions Of Oily And Combination Skin

* If you have oil skin you can't moisturize without breaking out.

* You have to use an oil free product.

* You have to spend a lot of money on products.

* You should only have to use one product.

Whenever a pimple starts to form, use a dab of toothpaste and rub it in.
