on the face and the shiny oil patches is not something any girl would
like to have. Some of us think such a skin type in winters is easier to
manage because the dry wintry breeze removes the excess oil, but such
is not true. It is a fact that, be it winters or summers; oily skin
should be treated with the special care. Read the following to know how
different winter care would be.
Winter care for oily skin
These below listed winter skin care tips for oily skin that will help you achieve the right glow.
1. Use of correct moisturizer:
You
need to use a correct, oil-free moisturizer regularly, even in winters.
There are many moisturizers made especially for this skin type, right
from gel form to water-based. The current market products are enriched
with vitamin E, which is the best option for oily skin. Ensure that you
moisturize after every face washing routine, as this will keep the oils
balanced.
2. Exfoliate your skin:
You can maintain a healthy skin tone by cleaning and exfoliating your skin regularly.
Adopt a regular routine, use a good exfoliating gel that has minute
granules enriched with vitamin E. By using it twice a week, you will
find wonderful results.
3. Avoid Petroleum Jelly:
Avoid applying petroleum jelly on your face and lips. For chapped lips, use medicated or herbal lip-balms.
4. Tea Tree Oil:
As
you know, most people bathe using hot water in winters. However, it is
proven that using warm water with few drops of tea tree oil makes up for the loss of moisture, and helps keep the skin much softer and supple.
5. Stay Hydrated:
Try to consume at least eight to ten glasses
of water daily. It helps you keep your skin hydrated and flushes out
the toxins and bacteria from your skin’s pores.
6. Use oil free based makeup products:
While
buying a foundation, ensure you choose a liquid or cream, which is
oil-free and water-based. Regular makeup products contain natural oils
and they are not good for your skin, instead go for products with
matte-effect that stay longer.
7. Use moisture rich skin products:
Prefer
shower gel to soaps, if you are persistent on using soap, then it
should have moisturizing elements. Soap with glycerin and natural oils
is a good option on the body, but for the face, go for an oil-free face
wash.
8. Use a soft towel:
After washing your face, it is suggested that you pat dry your skin using a soft towel.
9. Follow a skin care routine:
The
routine cleansing, toning, and moisturizing caters to all your skin
needs. Ensure you buy water-based cleansers and toners over cleansing
milk, as it does no good to oily skin. These tips help you say goodbye
to oily skin concerns in winter. Take care.
