Degreasing...

Managing oily skin can become what feels like a never-ending battle. Here's a little something to help ya out...

In my opinion, a long-lasting matte finish is unachievable unless of course, you have dry skin. I'm all about setting expectations so if you're oily and want a 24-hour matte finish read no further, I can't help you. If you are trying to reduce your shine along with managing oil production then keep reading!

Most oily skinned individuals think they shouldn't moisturize their skin. This is so false! Our skin longs for hydration.  When we dry it out by applying harsh toners and use facial washes with aggressive ingredients our skin responds by producing more oil. More oil is more problems for us acne prone folks!

Remedy the oil spill by doing the opposite of what your brain is telling you...MOISTURIZE! No need for a heavy, occlusive product. I prefer a product that contains medical grade hyaluronic acid in it. Super lightweight but a heavy hitter when it comes to hydrating the skin. They are lightweight and get the job done. Proper hydration communicates to the skin that all is well and that life is bliss!
