I have oily sensitive skin, what's the best cleanser to use?

Answer 1

I used to suffer from EXTREMELY oily skin, but its all gone now! Trust me when I say this, as odd as it might sound, you need a moisturizer!

Oily skin is a problem in which the oil-producing glands are over active, so what do we do we do when we see lots of oil? we wash with soap... WRONG! That is the biggest mistake we could ever make! When we wash our face with soap, we strip the skin of its moisture and nutients, and so our glands produce EVEN MORE oil to make up for it.

What we have to do is make our glands produce oil at a steady and slow rate, and if you wanted, even almost to the point where your skin stops producing oil altogether. How do we do that?

Wash the oil out (along with the dirt), and immediately moisturize your face with a lotion that has anitoxidants in it. I use Murad, beacuse Proactive did not work for me. The second step in Proactive was too strong, causing my skin to become irritated and worse. But Murad uses a natural acid produced by the skin to kill 99% of bacteria on your skin. The second step is an exfoliater, and the Third step moisturizes my face extremely well.

I would recommend going insane with the Moisuturizer and apply a medium layer to your face until your skin becomes dependent on the lotion for moisture. It's worked for me, and since a moisturizer is readily available, my skin never goes dry. (my skin barely produces oil now!)

If you don't want to use Murad, I recommend the 2 step approach; wash and moisturize. Buy a face wash that is gentle, one without soap (soap is bad because it is a base, and your skin is naturally a little bit acidic. Soap is also bad because acne bacteria thrive easier in a less acidic invoronment, so, if you use a base, it will lower your acidic content, and your acne will multiply even more!) and then get an extremely good moisturizer.

Oh and also don't forget to take a multi-B-vitamin, Zinc, and Vitamin C! B-vitamins are great for stress and skin (I take Big 100 from GNC), Zinc and Vitamin C are great for the immune system which make fighting acne even easier. Zinc is the most important of these. Also, there are many minerals such as, Threonate and Vitamin P (rutin), that help the absoption of Vitamin C.

Hope everything goes well!

you will extra suitable use dove soaps purely because of the fact this air purifier has "soft" in its call, do not mistake it for a wimp. This an excellent air purifier for human beings with oily dermis because of the fact the detergent could be somewhat drying. it is commonly not nerve-racking on oilier dermis. It removes makeup properly and rinses off genuinely. upload the low cost and this air purifier is a heavyweight contender.

Answer 5

Use a natural cleanser, such as lemon.
Squeeze the lemon, and use it to your skin.

Or in a modern way u can choose soap cleanser like dove.

For make up cleansing use baby oil...

And for daily use oil paper... u can find it everywhere ;)

Answer 6

Apply only oil-free foundations, powder blushers and powder eye shadows. Foundation should be used after bathing on the eyelids and lips. This ensures your cosmetics remain on your face for longer time.

Cleaning your face with mild soap and water twice or thrice daily will minimize the secretion of oil.

I'd have to say Clean and Clear products would work very well. Also they have oil obsorbing sheets which remove oil without smudging make-up. So if your in a oily emergency go for clean and clear =]
