However, it is important to use a gentle cleanser rather than a harsh one. You must know that most soaps that are available in the market are alkaline in nature and is not good for the skin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While washing the face, it is a good idea to use lukewarm water and not hot, water as the latter can further irritate the skin. After cleansing the skin, you can apply a toner. Place a few drops of the toner with a cotton pad and gently dab it on the oily parts to help get rid of the excess oil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a title=\"Top 5 Skin Care Mistakes To Be Avoided\" href=\"http:\/\/https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/top-5-skin-care-mistakes-avoided\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Also Read:<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Top 5 Skin Care Mistakes To Be Avoided<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You may think that the more you wash your face the greater are the chances of oil reduction. However, this is not the case. Excessive washing can irritate the skin and worsen acne symptoms if any.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Avoid moisturizers<\/strong> &#8211; It is best for people with oily skin to avoid heavy moisturisers. However, it is important to apply a sunscreen before you head out doors. Check the label to check if it is meant for oily skin. Keep in mind that oily skin can also get dehydrated. It is therefore best to use a light, oil-free moisturiser to keep the skin healthy and glowing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Don\u2019t touch your face<\/strong> &#8211; Keep your hands off your face all through the day. Touching your face may make your face more dirty and oily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Keep your hair off your face<\/strong> &#8211; If you are facing issues with your skin, it is important to keep your hair away from your face.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Scrub your face<\/strong> &#8211; Scrub your face lightly to remove excess oil from the surface. You can apply a mask after that to reduce the oiliness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Use blotting papers<\/strong> &#8211; This is a quick solution to get rid of the excess oil. However, this treatment works best when paired with a cleansing regime. Take care that you do not wipe your face with the blotting paper as this will spread the dirt and lead to further irritation. Instead, you can just press the paper on your skin and hold it there for a few seconds to help soak up excess oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a title=\"Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts For Oily Skin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/dos-donts-oily-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Also Read:<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts For Oily Skin<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Apply masks<\/strong> &#8211; Masks help to keep out the oil &amp; dirt and keep the pores clean. However, these products can also cause the skin to become dry. Therefore, you should just use it once a week for the best results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Stay away from heavy cosmetics<\/strong> &#8211; The products can clog the skin pores, which will trap dirt and oil in the skin and worsen the symptoms of acne.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Use Aloe Vera<\/strong> &#8211; Dab Aloe Vera all over your face to help it soak the oil and clear the pores. Apply the gel on your face at least two to three times a day and leave it on to dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Apply yogurt<\/strong> &#8211; Yogurt helps to exfoliate the skin, open pores and absorb the excess oil. Take some yogurt and spread it all over your face. Leave it on your face for at least 15 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water. Do it once a day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/take-care-of-your-eyes.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3777\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/take-care-of-your-eyes-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"How to treat oily skin\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/take-care-of-your-eyes-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/take-care-of-your-eyes-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/take-care-of-your-eyes-449x300.jpg 449w, https:\/\/www.alldaychemist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/take-care-of-your-eyes.jpg 1236w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Use cucumbers<\/strong> &#8211; Cucumbers are an important ingredient during spa and facial treatments due to their soothing properties.
