Shiny, Oily Face
There are a lot of causes for excessive oil on the face. The most common is a cleansing routine that may be too harsh for your face. Alcohol-based cleansers and gritty scrubs may irritate and over-dry your skin. As a result, the skin compensates by producing more oil. Another cause is over-sensitivity to male hormones, which we all have and which causes production of excess oil. A hormonal imbalance can also be the underlying cause, especially if you have stopped having your period and are losing your hair. In this case, you should consult your doctor.
You can regulate oiliness without over-drying your face. Try this morning routine: wash with an oil-free cleanser and follow up with an alcohol-free toner and an oil-absorbing gel. Throughout the day, you can use blotting papers to remove oil. Repeat this routine in the evening but don’t use the gel.
