My name's Teri and in this segment, we're going to talk about how to prevent oily skin.
Now some of us just have naturally more oily skin than others, and actually, although it
can be annoying at times, it's actually a blessing in disguise 'cause the oilier your
skin is, that just means the more moisture there is in it and that will prevent you from
aging prematurely. So if you have oily skin and you get frustrated with it, just remember
it's a good thing. Now of course, one of the most basic things you can do after you wash
your face is to use a proper toner. Now you want to stay away, if you have oily skin,
you actually want to stay away from alcohol based toners. And you want to especially stay
away from rubbing alcohol. Some people think that works like a toner. What that actually
does, it dries out your skin to the point that your skin has to further make more moisture
or more oil and it actually produces an oilier face than...than drying out your skin. So
you want to start off with using that after you wash, and then throughout the day, if
you find yourself getting a little oily, you can use powder. It's a compact, a little bit
of powder. You can use one with a sponge and that will absorb some of the oil as well,
or one with a brush, or there's these great blotting tissues that you can purchase, and
they will keep the makeup on your face if you're wearing any, but it will just remove
the oil and dirt. So, it's a quick fix. Just blot it on the areas where your skin might
be a little oily, and that's how you prevent oily skin.
