360 Degree Fall Skin Care Part 2: The Oily

When it comes to any changing season, our skin definitely undergoes a chemical change. The solution however is not the same for everyone, even for those with similar skin conditions. Hopefully my tips and tricks below will help keep the changing season blues away.

The Season: Fall. Some may experience dryness, others may experience (during summer) an over abundance of oil production, and some may find the oil spots are dry and the dry spots are now oily. For Part 2 of 360 Degree Fall Skin Care, we are going to focus on those experiencing oiliness.

Non-Comodegenic Always: When skin overproduces oil, people have a tendency to skip the moisturizer, afraid that the extra moisture will only increase the oil feeling. If you have oily skin, choose a moisturizer that is non-comodegenic. Non-comodegenis allows a moisturizer to nourish your skin without blocking your pores, causing your skin to overproduce oil. Also choose non-comodegenic makeup that you wear, such as foundation. 

Mildly Exfoliate: When breakouts happen due to oiliness, some turn to exfoliating to unclog of blocked pores. However, those who overdo exfoliation and have oily skin, may trigger the skin's need to produce more oils than normal. Try a mild exfoliator such as an exfoliating cleanser. Philosophy's Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash is a mild, exfoliating facial cleanser designed to cleanse the skin while providing resurfacing benefits.

Oil-Free Makeup: Always opt for oil-free makeup. Always always always! This will help keep your pores from getting clogged and will still allow you to wear your foundation without feeling like an oil slick.

Try Au-Natural: Thank you Jennifer Lawrence for shifting the beauty scene to natural beauty! Less makeup means less clogged pores! Try for defined eyebrows, shimmer on the cheekbones, and a lip stain. You'll look dewy, fresh, and beautiful. Feel like you need something more? Like Jennifer Lawrence's Dior ad, dust on a neutral brown along your lids and apply some mascara. Again, natural beauty is in. Plus it's cheaper on the wallet!

Keep your skin healthy and hydrated! Happy Fall!
