How to know if you really have an oily skin? Well, there is a simple technique that you can use in order to confirm that you are having an oily type of skin.
If you press a tissue onto your face and most of the times see oil, you are having oily skin.
Blackheads and open pores also common in this skin type people.
The skin produces excessive oil and can start acne outbreak.
When it comes to dealing with your oily skin you do not have to necessarily consult a beauty expert as it can be treated at home by following few simple steps.
The first step is cleansing with a face wash, this will not only stop blackheads and spots but also lift excessive oil out of the pores.
Do not use cleansers which are alcohol based as they will encourage more oil production.
You should cleanse your skin twice a day especially in the morning and evening time.
After cleansing you must moisturizer your skin but for oily skin you should make sure that the moisturizer you are using is oil free and lightweight.
Moisturizer can be followed right after cleansing and most preferably two times a day.
You can exfoliate your skin couple of time a week with the help of a granular exfoliator but try to be limited to only specific areas like chin and nose etc.
Your daily diet also has its affects on your oily skin therefore drink plenty of water everyday at least 2 liters a day.
Furthermore stick with a low fat diet and try to add more fresh vegetables, fruits and grains.
Other than the normal diets try to take vitamin A, B complex and C which in general will provide good results overall.
