Really, is there anything more disheveled-looking than a mid-day shiny face? But it’s not all about blotting papers and mattifying primers. Though incredibly useful, target excess shine earlier with an arsenal of oil-controlling cleansers, scrubs and masks. Once you’ve regulated your routine, you’ll soon begin to see improvements by way of skin that glows in just the right places (i.e. not your T-zone).

Oily skin is the result of over-active sebaceous glands, which are triggered by the hormone DHT, a derivative of testosterone. Genes play a role, but anything that affects the delicate hormone balance — stress, puberty, pregnancy, menopause, birth control pills, diet or certain medications — can cause your DHT levels to spike and send your sebaceous glands into overdrive.

1
Switch to an Oil-Regulating Cleanser.
This is your first line of defense when it comes to starting the day off shine-free — and keeping it that way. Your face wash should contain ingredients like salicylic acid or purifying clay which will clear pores and stave off excess oil.


2
Follow up with a Toner
Skin prep is super important for oily skin, and using the right toner will help balance out the oiliness so avoid alcohol-based or extremely-astringent products. Anything too drying will cause skin to overcompensate oil production, leaving you more shiny in the middle of the day.

Look for equally-effective treatments that contain tea tree oil or calendula extract which will balance and mattify the skin without stripping all the good natural oils.


3
Exfoliate Weekly
A gentle scrub sloughs off dead skin cells, which will not only prevent breakouts, but will make all the oil-controlling products you apply afterward the day much more effective.


4
Soak up Excess Oil with a Once-a-Week Clay-based Mask
Another important step for clearing pores: This will effectively help shrink them, which will in turn regulate oil production.


5Invest in a Translucent Primer or Powder to Wear Alone or Under Makeup.
Former pressed powder offerings tended to feel a little… matronly, and often let the skin looking cakey. Same for earlier versions of primers, which could produce somewhat flakey results. The latest formulations, however, are non-drying and most importantly, look just like your skin — but less-oily, of course. It will take a little leg work in order to find out which product is best for your skin type.


6
Keep Blotting Papers Handy. Seeing the oil transfer from your face to the little pocket-sized squares couldn’t be any more gratifying. Plus, you can rest assure your makeup will be left intact.


7
ACP = Always Carry Powder
Everyone with oily skin knows it’s key to keep powder with you at all times! In order to avoid the caked-on-powder look. The powder will absorb oil while it keeps your face looking even, natural and shine-free.
