5 Ways to Manage Oily Skin in Hot Weather
Here are some ways to deal with oily skin in warm weather.
Absorb excess oil
Oil blotting paper is a must for oily skin. No one wants their makeup to be ruined by shine, especially if you’re out on a date. We recommend choosing a high-performance blotting paper, such as Zorom’s, which comes in a compact and sturdy package that is easy to carry.
Simply press the blotting paper gently onto your skin and let it absorb the excess oil from your face. This product is great because it won’t disturb your makeup or absorb your sunscreen.
Don’t forget to moisturize
You may be thinking, why would you expect anyone to want to use a moisturizer to make their skin more oily? But not moisturizing your skin can lead to many skin problems, including acne. When choosing a moisturizer for oily skin, choose a light-textured gel moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and prevent it from overproducing oil.
After cleansing your skin with a gentle cleanser, remember to moisturize. This is important because you don’t want to push dirt and grime into your pores along with your moisturizer.
Exfoliate with a gentle cleanser
Oily skin benefits from exfoliating with products that contain AHA and BHA as well as salicylic acid. These ingredients help remove excess oil from the skin and improve its appearance. But over-exfoliating can damage your skin, so make sure to exfoliate no more than twice a week. In addition, having a good skin care routine and adding retinol will help improve the overall quality of your skin.
Block UV radiation with sunscreen
Sunscreen is necessary for bright, sunny days and otherwise. We all know how damaging UV rays can be to our skin, not to forget the dreaded sunburn. Broad spectrum oil-free sunscreens are best for oily skin because they don’t clog pores. Alternatively, you can use a sunscreen, which requires less reapplication.
Stay Hydrated
One of your skin’s biggest enemies is dehydration. A hectic lifestyle and a high dependence on all other beverages except water can wreak havoc on your skin. Ensuring that you are well hydrated throughout the day will help improve your skin’s oil-water balance, which in turn will help prevent the production of excess oil and sebum.
Look beautiful every day
In addition to our suggestions above, it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. Avoid sugary and salty foods, limit your caffeine and alcohol intake, and practice good hygiene in your daily life to improve your skin and control your oiliness.
Dealing with oily skin is never fun, but it is something that most of us have to deal with. As the weather warms up this year, be sure to use our tips above to help keep your oily skin at bay.
