Oily Skin FAQ

Hi babes!

I’ve spoken about this subject quite a few times and it’s probably my most asked question… what are good products for oily skin? I won’t go too in depth about it because I have posts doing just that which i’ll link below. Just want to address this topic for all my oily skin gals (and dudes) out there just incase you’re a new follower, missed the post or just need a reminder. :)

I’m a big believer in prepping the skin and treating the root of the problem (aka oil) instead of simply trying to find products to cover up the issue. The best way to do this is through skin care and primer! There are so many products that will help shrink pores, control shine, absorb oil through out the day, etc that you can use under makeup to help your makeup last all day. Products like toners, foam cleansers, clay masks, oil controlling lotions and primers. All these pre makeup steps will significantly help with the longevity of your makeup by preventing the over production of oil instead of trying to maintain it by constant blotting and powdering. 

P.s these products are more “drying” so I wouldn’t recommend using oil control products at night time because your skin NEEDS moisture so pamper it at night with a good, rich moisturizer! Sometimes your skin is producing more oil because you’re using products that are too drying and stripping the skin day and night.
