Washing your face may be the most basic of skincare steps, but dermatologists and skincare experts know that using the right cleanser for your skin is key for a clear, radiant complexion. Face wash helps remove debris, including makeup, dirt and pollution, and excess oil that can dull skin, clog pores, and cause discoloration and breakouts. But don’t grab any old soap: “A sulfate- and soap-free cleanser for the face will be pH-balanced and gentle to maintain skin’s barrier without stripping,” says Whitney Bowe, M.D., a New York City dermatologist and author of The Beauty of Dirty Skin. While it may be tempting to pile on the acid-spiked toners or employ an exfoliating face scrub numerous times to nix the shine, there is such a thing as too much exfoliation. “Do not over-exfoliate!” urges Akram. Doing so can actually cause oil glands to double down on oil production to compensate. Moreover, too much exfoliation can weaken your skin barrier, which is crucial in maintaining balance and healthy moisture. 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.Give your complexion an oomph with this revitalising peel-off mask. Containing avocado, cucumber, aloe, green tea and bamboo extract, the peel-off mask effectively firms and refines the appearance of skin while decongesting pores. 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. If you wear makeup, consider using powders instead of cream or liquid products. Powders do a better job at absorbing excess oil.
