Exfoliating and Face mask?

Question

I am 23 and have oily skin.How often should i exfoliate and use face mask?

Answer 1

You need to cleanse morning and night. Exfoliate at least twice a week, maybe 3 times depending on the roughness of your exfoliator. If it's rougher, use it twice, but if it's gentle, you can use it up to three times a week. You should use a mask straight after exfoliating. Use a clay-based mask which will suck up the oil. Only use it once a week, as it can dry out your skin too much. If you're not getting the results you want, you can try it twice a week, but don't leave it on any longer than five minutes.
After you've taken off your mask and dried your skin, use a toner. You may be tempted to use an alcohol-based toner to dry out your skin, but that isn't always the best. A natural one like an aloe vera spritz works well, I use it and I have oily to combo skin. After you've used your toner, you need to moisturise. Use an oil-free lotion; a lotion will be thinner than a cream and your skin will absorb it easier.
Also, use a water-based eye cream to fight away any signs of premature aging! I know you're only young but you should start now. Don't use an anti-aging eye cream; Nivea Visage have an excellent Aqua Sensations eye cream which is designed for younger women who don't need to get rid of wrinkles, but want to prevent them. It's great!
I hope this helps. Good luck.

The best product for most people with oily or problematic skin is Tea Tree Oil, in addition to washing with Castile Soap. Avoid anything with strong detergents, Sulfates, and other harsh skin irritating substances.

I recommend Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash, it does a magnificent job on problematic skin. Usually cleaning up blemishes with only a few days of use!

Remember, just because a soap is made out of oil, doesn't mean it will make your face oily. Soap by nature, is a derivative of oil! Some of the most potent real-soaps, are derived from oils, not just Castile.

Many modern day products CAUSE oily and problematic skin because they contain harsh chemicals and animal based fats that clog pores.

1st you need to find a daily routine that you can add into your lifestyle as just exfoliating and face mask wont really help as much as you want them to if you dint add in the rest. 1st you need to buy a cleanser, toner and moisturizer for an oily skin that's work for you. You need to try to add that into your lifestyle 1stly once a day then once you are used too it continually that twice daily, then you would need to add exfoliating into your routine butt you should only do this twice a week then face mask can be applied twice to maybe even 3times a week.

a oily skin with pimples and acnes- exfoliating can easily spread them more.so i would sugest not to.a face mask can be best atleast twice a week.

if you have a oily skin with no pimples and acnes.u could use a good exfoliator twice a week before u apply ur face mask.and dont forget to apply a alcohol-free toner.

Answer 5

With oily, but clear skin I'd say just wash your face twice a day(if you can swing that, but at least once with facial soap that has benzoyl peroxide) and exfoliate and mask once a week, twice at the most.

Answer 6

I would think that the gentle, regular cleaning of the face would keep the pores open and allow the oil to be removed more easily.

It is interesting how one person has oily skin, one dry, one neutral.
I will never figure it out.

You should probably keep your diet very healthy and low in oily foods.

Good Luck.

ONCE EVERY FOUR DAYS! firstly clean face with a cotton... dab it clean.. then massage it with a nice oil free cream for a while..scrub if applied directly can cause pimples...so after massaging apply scrub and scrub gently... then clean the face... take steam ...to remove excess oil from face... and finally apply a pack of neem or mud pack... onlce washed... apply the normal oil free moisturizer...this works wonder for oily skin!~
