Basic "Home Remedies" Skin Care Routine for Oily Skin

Hi Peeps, I'm here again to share you some beauty tips and helpful skin care routine especially for people whose having problems with oily skin. 

What is Oily Skin?

Oily skin is caused by over - active sebaceous glands, that produce a substance called "sebum" ,a naturally healthy skin lubricant.

Oily skin is known to prevent wrinkles, or other signs of aging. However, too much oil in your skin is not good as it also cause blackheads, clogged pores, pimples, blemishes and dead skin cells buildup on the surface of the skin. Sucks right?

What causes Oily Skin?

Oily skin is one of the common skin problems that most women and men has to deal with especially teenagers.

• Stress 
• Genetics
• Weather Changes
• Hormonal Changes
• Over use of skin care products
• Bad Hygiene
• Dust

Here are some skin care routine and home remedies that will help prevent skin from producing more oils that leads to skin disasters..

Wash your face

Washing face with warm water and a mild soap once every morning and once at night before you sleep helps  eliminate excess oils in the skin leaving the skin clean and fresh.

Splash cold water in your face before you wipe it with clean towel.

It closes the pores and helps prevent clogged pores that leads to whiteheads and blackheads. Cold water is a very good toner. If your skin is sensitive, cold water is the best for toning as it also leaves the skin smooth and fresh.

Moisturize

After washing your face and toning, moisturize your face. Moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated leaving your skin softer and smooth.

Exfoliate

Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week.

Using these loofas and face brushes, leave your face dry and gently scrub it with these brush or loofas till all the dead skin is gone.

You can scrub your face using a mixture of coffee and a drop of extra virgin coconut oil or olive oil.

Exfoliation is the process of removing oldest dead skin cells keeping the skin youthful and healthy.

Masks

Use face mask once or twice a week.

A mixture of egg and lemon is a good combination for oily skin.

Leave the mask into your face for 15 minutes then rinse.

Egg will keep your skin and pores tight lifting your skin at the same time for a youthful complexion.

Lemon is a citric acid that will help dry out the pimple.

Hydrate

Keep yourself hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Water is the key to a healthy and younger looking skin.

Sleep

Get good sleep. Enough sleep is also one of the keys for having such gorgeous skin. It relaxes the skin and gives the skin the time to regenerate and breathe.

Also avoid eating too much sweets and oily foods.Try eating healthy foods and fresh fruits instead.

Avoid using products that contains oils. You don't need oil as your body produces natural oil,unless your skin is dry and flaky.

Follow these skin care routine and you'll see the amazing results.

Keep healthy, keep beautiful :)

My Top 5 Make Up Powder Foundations!

Hello Ladies. I'm here again. I just wanna share to all of you guys my Top 5 make up powder foundations to help you choose which one suits your skin. So my skin back in the Philippines was sometimes oily, sometimes dry due to the weather conditions and hormone changes especially when "that" time of the month comes. I am not an expert or a doctor, I am just sharing my experience with all these products to help you choose which one do you think will be good for you.
Before you apply these products make sure that your face is clean, toned and moisturized.

Avon Smooth Minerals

I was using this when I was in college, I used to wet the sponge before applying it on my face so the foundation will last longer.I used to have an acne also but I noticed it was slowly disappearing. It has a great coverage. The price was reasonable also.








Maybelline Mineral Powder Foundation

I used this for 2 years, I love the coverage of this one. I always get a compliment with this :) It makes the skin looks fresher.It lasts long too. But like I said, I wouldn't recommend this if you have an oily skin. It will make your face feels heavy, and shiny and you don't wanna touch it because your finger will leave a mark on your face.
Not good for oily skin





Revlon ColorStay Mineral Powder Foundation

This one is excellent in my opinion but its a bit pricey. But the price is very reasonable I would say. It has a perfect coverage, won't let you down. It has this cooling effect when you apply it in your face, i'd say per jar it lasts for 5-7 months depends on how you use it.





Covergirl Queen Collection Powder Foundation

I like using this one too, I always tend to wet the sponge when using powders like this so it will give you smooth coverage that lasts long. I would say on my experience using this with my oily skin,this one is Ok. It didn't feel heavy and irritating.








MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural

I am currently using this one, it is pricey so I only use this for special events and occasions :) But you pay for what its worth.
Very smooth, great coverage and it lasts for 12 hours. 






You can use pretty much all these products, they are skin friendly, no harsh effects. But if you already have an oily skin, the maybelline is not the right one for you.
 I can say that they all have good quality. You can use them with or without the liquid foundations.
 About the prices, some of these products are pricey but they are use by mostly professional make up artists.


So that's it guys. Thank you for reading. And if you have any suggestions, comments and questions, please feel free to comment below and I will answer it as soon as I can.
-XOXO

Hmm, don't worry friend, you are not alone, I know that feeling :) So I created this short blog to help you organize your purse.

                                             

Going out with friends

Since you are only going out with your besties, you dont need to bring your whole beauty perks

after a long hours of chit-chats while eating, your gonna need a little bit of a re-touch.

But how about

2.Lipstick

3.Pressed Powder

4.Blusher

5.Perfume or Colognes

Hmmm, what if 

Going on a business trip/ holiday vacation

You are going to spend overnight, or a week or 2.. Your'e going to need an extra purse to take with you along with your travelling bag. Since you will be gone for a while, take some of your favorite beauty perks with you.

1. Your favorite Lipstick, but if you are not contented in one color, you can bring your lipstick palette with you same with the eyeshadow palette and a few make ups. You dont need to bring all, just the ones that you really need.

2. A make up remover.

3.Your Personal Hygiene care.

4.Body Spray

And that's it, you're all set to go!

It does not have to be complicated to look fresh and beautiful. You just have to organize your stuff.
