1- The most important tip; do not use facial tonics, peelings, and exfoliants that contain alcohol. While you are trying to reduce acne and oil by using these products, it causes your skin to produce more sebum. Choose products such as non-alcoholic serums and gels while purchasing cosmetics.
2- Avoid applying anything that contains petroleum and mineral oils as these substances can clog pores. If you are using prescriptive acne cream, use these products overnight and apply an oil-free moisturizer the next night to avoid dehydration.
3- For the morning routine, choose cleansers containing salicylic acid that purify bacteria and dirt in the pores.
4- After cleansing, apply a serum or a gel containing salicylic acid, designed specifically for oily and acne-prone skins, which can control sebum production and make the pores less visible. Finish your morning routine with a moisturizer and suncream.
5- For the night routine, you should clean your skin well, because make-up and environmental pollution clog the pores and cause acne. No evading!
6- After cleansing, apply a retinol cream all over your face to prevent clogged pores.
7- Do a deep cleansing twice a week with a gentle product. Choose products that both purify the skin from cells and control the over-production of oil and create a matte appearance.
8- Whether you have acne on your face or not, you should apply prescriptive acne creams all over your face. Experts states, “If people who have oily skin apply these products only on active lesions, acne, they raise the problem rather than prevent it’’
9- Watch your diet.
10- Never forget to keep your face clean!
