Product Information

To avoid spreading sebum to other parts of your face, refrain from wiping or dragging the paper. Instead, softly press the paper onto your skin.

For the same pore-clearing reasons as the HydraFacial, Dr. Ofodile also recommends quarterly TCA (trichlorecetic acid) chemical peels. You'll also love this treatment for the way it improves skin texture and gets rid of non-inflammatory acne. 21. Calm down. Annoyingly, the more you strip away sebum with strong scrubs, the more you stimulate your glands to produce sebum! That means you have to be a little sneakier about cutting down on sebum-caused spots and shiny skin. Oily T-zone. Your nose, chin, and across your forehead are oily or look shiny. This area is known as the T-zone. Retinol, a vitamin A derivative with excellent anti-aging powers, can also reduce excess sebum production, and tighten the appearance of overly oiled pores, notes Akram. If you’ve tried retinol for anti-aging benefits, only to stop at the sight of flaky, dry, red skin, consider re-introducing a retinol serum to your routine for the sake of balancing oiliness. Remember, retinol often takes time for skin to adjust to its power, hence the dreaded dryness stage. If you’re not ready to deal with the adjustment period, consider looking for a gentler retinol serum. Your dermatologist can help you determine if retinol is right for you and what products your skin may be able to tolerate.

You cannot scrape away your oil glands, sorry. Exfoliating your face is still important, but Dr. Ofodile recommends doing so with products that contain alpha-hydroxy acids, like glycolic acid, or beta-hydroxy acids ( salicylic acid), which penetrate into pores to effectively remove excess sebum.

You have thousands of sebaceous glands in your skin. These glands are responsible for producing sebum, or oil, that helps protect and hydrate your skin. Clay masques are particularly effective for oily skin, as they help to draw out impurities. A good nourishing mask also helps to balance your skin and minimise the appearance of pores. The Best Skincare Products For An Oily T-zone Consider the type of cleanser you’re using, and assess whether it could be contributing to oiliness. “To combat the oiliness, instead of using a creamy rich cleanser, opt for foam or gel-based cleansers,” advises Akram. “Choose a cleanser that contains oil-control, acne fighting ingredients.” (She loves the Environ Botanical Infused Sebu-Wash Gel Cleanser which contains ingredients such as salicylic acid, tea tree oil and citric acid and “work to remove excess surface oils — without stripping the skin.”) Have you ever noticed little depressions in your fingernails and toenails?

If you use a specialist moisturiser, however, it can really help the condition of your skin.
