6 tips for oily skins

6 tips for oily skins


1. Clean your skin using an oil-based lotion

This is not the first thing that comes to mind for oily skin… But look! Your skin needs to be well hydrated. If it isn't, it will compensate by making more oil. Remove your makeup with a cleansing oil before a more conventional cleansing method.

2. Don't wash your face in the evening

We often say that water can't do any harm. That washing your face twice a day can help remove traces of oil and blocked pores. Wrong! Your skin might overreact. Clean your face with water in the evening only. With a little soap or a gentle cleanser to remove makeup and excess sebum. In the morning, just spray a toner.

3. Avoid moisturizing masks and oily products

This is a tricky balance. On one hand, we have to retain the skin's natural hydration, but on the other, we mustn't use too many oily products. Opt for a non-oily moisturizer and foundation. They will not block pores and will make your skin look fresher.

4. Exfoliate every morning

If you have blotchy skin, exfoliating every morning can work miracles. If your skin is sensitive, do not exfoliate more than once a week, and use a product or gentle glove that are especially for the face. Avoid products that are too grainy, which can create microscopic cracks in the skin. Opt for an exfoliator with synthetic, perfectly round grains.

5. Tie your hair back when you go to bed and change your pillow case every two days

The products that we put on our hair are fantastic for hair but they can sometimes causes small zits on acne-prone skin. If you have long hair, put it in a ponytail before you go to bed so that your face doesn't lie on your hair. And change your pillowcases as often as possible.
Use dry towel @ Reward Me

6. Always use a clean towel to dry your face

Your family might think you are a diva, but it doesn't matter! Only use clean towels to dry your face. It doesn't matter whether you use cloth or paper towels. The main thing is that they are clean. The towel that you used for the rest of your body contains traces of oils, lotions, and soaps. This is not a problem if you reuse it for your body, but it can cause problems if you rub it on your face.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Review

For most of the reviews here at Gadgets 360, we use the mobile in question as our primary phone for about a week or so before sharing our verdict with you. We realise this isn't perfect, since there are some aspects of the device that don't become obvious during that time, and in an ideal world, we'd use every phone for a couple of months before we publish our review. But we work under constraints where most devices aren't available to us for that long - almost all products that we review are loaned to us by companies for short durations - and there's also the competitive pressure of wanting to get your review out before others do, as long as it doesn't involve cutting any corners. With the launch of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in India, Apple offered to loan the two new iPhones to Gadgets 360 - and indeed other publications - for more than the typical timeframe of a few days. The India iPhone launch of course came a few we...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have made these Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies at least 20 times now. Not exaggerating. I first made these when we were in the Philippines, when it was a struggle to just keep butter solid for 2 seconds on the counter, and they were absolutely incredible. I had no idea how or why, but they just WORKED. And they blew my mind in the way only a perfect chocolate chip cookie really can. But then every once in a while, they didn’t work. I’m not always super exact with my baking, but still. They were not thick and chewy and buttery like the perfect cookie should be. Some of your comments said the same things – most of the time they worked, but sometimes they didn’t. And I don’t like that. Now I’m back home in dry, cool Minnesota and I have been waiting for this day just so I could figure out what would really make these cookies awesome for you. You who live in normal climates and shop at Cub Foods. I am now speaking your cookie-baking language. Since I’m re...
