It's possible that you have already decided to give up your battle with your oily skin. While you cannot do anything about your genetic inheritance, there sure is a lot you can do to help cut down the production of oil in your skin. Don't get obsessive about washing your face because washing too much is a bad idea. Your skin needs a layer of oil for protection but that layer doesn't need to be heavy. Good skin needs a little bit of oil because it keeps your skin moist, healthy and protected. When you constantly wash off the protective layer, the skin will simply combat your actions by producing even more oil. If you didn't know this was possible you've learned something new today and if you keep reading you'll learn even more!
Use a decent powder make-up product that is notably manufactured for absorbing oil produced by the skin. Also, you can use these manufactured goods for quick touch ups throughout the day. You can see this exclusive class of make-up product available in stores. This is an added optional technique for lessening the oily look and it's opportune, on account of you being able to utilize it at work or anytime. These manufactured goods are see-through and are available in a powder form. What you'll do is lightly apply it over your regular make-up, if you wear make-up.
Only use skin cleansers that are made for your particular skin type. Avoid harsh soaps or "industrial" soaps that have more chemicals in them than your medicine cabinet. When you wash off your face, try to remember that it is not the same thing as scrubbing a floor or your clothes.
What we mean is, you don't have to scrub and scrub even though part of you wants to wash all the oil from your skin. This is a bad idea because all it accomplishes is damage to your top layer of skin. Your body will know that it has been damaged and guess how it will react? Your oil glands will jump into overdrive and produce as much oil as it can for your face.
If possible, and you're not wearing your make-up, wash your face using only pure water and nothing else. We cringe about using regular tap water in the US because it contains fluoride and chlorine. So if you can, use pure filtered water. You should invest in a faucet mounted water purifier to make sure your water is as chlorine free as possible. Chlorine acts to dry out your skin which is the last thing you want to have happen. Then after washing, apply a water based moisturizer. Water gets rid of dirt and other impurities while moisturizer does exactly what the label says it will do: moisturizes you.
Clearing up your oily skin at work issue is as easy as implementing positive changes to your skin care routine (something that will yield results quickly). But the amount of time is not excessive, and you'll be impressed with your progress.
