Oily skins

Any healthy person's skin must have some natural oils. So first of all a healthy diet is essential! No oily foodstuff! Also, we live in Africa hot, dry to humid conditions. Oils form a layer on the skin for a reason, to protect from the harsh climate. That is why we have oily skins.
If a skin is excessively oily, it must be maintained with appropriate skin products.
All skin products should be an oil control basis.
Skin cleansing in the morning;
Face soap/ liquid wash for oily skins. This will remove excess oils.
A toner to equalize your skin ph., but not necessary as a good face wash will have all the necessary ingredients.
Moisturizing is very important as it maintains the skin's texture. Moisturizer must be oil free. Unfortunately we need a high percentage of SPF and it will make your face look oily. So, if you are going to use a moisturizer with an SPF, be prepared to battle with shine.
If you're wearing make up.
Prepping your skin.
Use an anti shine serum. You'll find it at certain cosmetic counters. This will form a layer on your skin that will delay the skins natural oil from seeping through to the skin's surface.
Select a liquid foundation that is matte and a pressed face powder to give a matte finished look. Alternatively, use a powder foundation. This is a foundation in a powder form and it is not necessary to use a pressed face powder over it. Your concealer must be matte as well.
Select all your powder eye shadows and powder blushers in a matte finish. Too much shimmer/sheen will contribute to a shiny skin.
Avoid any creams, light reflecting pigments, frosts, etc.
Use water resistant/ waterproof eye pencils and eyebrow pencils as well as mascaras. It is longer lasting.
Keep blotting powder or blotting paper in your handbag. This will come in handy when your face starts shining during the course of the day.
Work in a well ventilated area, where there is a cool breeze or even an aircon that is set on cool temperature. Your skin will be kept cool and dry all day long. Try not to touch your face as the oils and sweat from the palms of your hands will be transferred onto your face. Keep hair away from face such as fringes.
