Expert Tips for Oily Skin
Discover dermatologist-recommended do’s and don’ts to manage oily skin effectively. FTT Skin Clinic emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach to maintain natural moisture while preventing acne breakouts that result from oily skin.
Wash Strategically:
Cleanse your face morning, evening, and post-exercise without harsh scrubbing. Opt for a gentle, foaming face wash to avoid triggering excessive oil production. To deal with oily skin, we recommend our Signature FTT Foaming Wash. Gently massage one pump onto damp skin and leave for a few minutes for maximum results, before rinsing with warm water. Gentle enough to use twice daily. Reveal Foaming Wash will help increase cell renewal and prepare your skin for other products in the FTT Skin Clinics skincare collection. The natural properties of Aloe Vera will calm and protect your skin.
Smart Product Choices:
Select “oil-free” and “noncomedogenic” skincare products to prevent clogged pores. Steer clear of oil-based or alcohol-based cleansers that may irritate your skin. At FTT Skin Clinics, we offer variety of skin products that will prevent oily skin, from cleansers to washes, to moisturisers that are oil free noncomedogenic. Please check our selection of signature products from the link below. Usage of oil free products will result in less oil build up on your face. Make sure to check out your daily skin care products to get rid of anything that may cause an increase on your oily skin.
Daily Moisturizing:
Apply moisturizer daily to keep your skin hydrated, even if it’s oily. Hydration is one of the most important elements to dealing with oily skin. Look for moisturizers with broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) for sun protection. Check out our sunscreens and moisturisers avaliable.
Sunscreen Essentials:
Prioritize sunscreen with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to prevent sun damage. Avoid fragrances or oils in sunscreens to prevent acne breakouts that may be resulting from excessive oil.
Makeup Matters:
Opt for oil-free, water-based makeup for a fresh look without clogging pores. Always remove makeup before bedtime to promote skin health. We recommend our daily cleanser for removing your make up before bed. Daily Cleanser is part of the FTT Skin clinics luxury range of skin care products. We use scientifically proven ingredients in our advanced comprehensive skin care to bring out the best results in your skin. It contains high levels of Vitamin C to help prevent wrinkles, dark spots and promotes the production of collagen. Additionally it helps fights bacteria and inflammation that can lead to skin problems and breakouts. We recommend it to be used as a wash or dry with makeup removing pads.
Hands Off:
Resist the urge to touch your face throughout the day to prevent the spread of dirt and bacteria. Oily skin may be the result of too much contact to your face.
