Apart from following these steps, remember to cleanse your face with a gentle scrub. This exfoliates your skin and removes dead cells. Oatmeal scrubs are generally mild and hence more preferable. Exfoliate your skin after cleansing and before toning, just once every week, because doing it too often might roughen your skin.
The final step is moisturizing . Remember, whether your skin is dry or oily, moisturizing it is imperative. Your skin needs water, else it will start crumbling. Moisturizing strengthens skin. Choose one with humectants that tend to attract more moisture to your skin .
Try to apply a light moisturizer as that would ensure less oil on your face. You can also store the moisturizer in a fridge during summers, so that when you apply it, you experience a cool, refreshing feeling.
Toning is what follows cleansing. Toners make the pores on our face contract. This reduces their sizes and also diminishes their chances of releasing oil. Toners also have a cooling effect on the skin which feels really refreshing. They come in different forms like clarifiers, astringents and fresheners. You are advised to start off with fresheners and then switch over to astringents, in case you are not used to cosmetics.
You also need to protect your oily skin from harmful UV rays, since they react with the oil in the skin to worsen its quality. A sunscreen lotion can protect you from these rays. Remember to follow these basic rules, drink adequate water and I am sure pimples and acnes will be a thing of the past!
