How to deal with oily skin

Even though radiant and glowing skin is on trend right now, battling an oily face can be really annoying. Your makeup might not last as long as it should because of all the excess oil, known as sebum. Sebum production is influenced by our hormones, by our diet and by using the wrong products on our skin. So, other than looking at our lifestyle, a solution to control oily skin is to implement a good skincare routine.

Recommended routine for oily skin
Morning routine
Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser, we recommend IVY AïA Cleansing Mousse. It is important not to be too harsh on your skin, as you can experience your skin will overcompensate and just create more sebum. Therefore, make sure to keep your natural oils and moisture.
After cleansing, use IVY AïA Micellar water with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid. Use IVY AïA Face Mist and remember to moisturize preferably with IVY AïA Oil-free gel.

Evening routine
End your day by doing a double cleanse to get rid of any makeup as well as any dirt, bacteria and pollution. For the first cleanse, we recommend you the IVY AïA Cleansing Oil. Oil on oily skin – what? Yes, you can advantageously apply the IVY AïA Cleansing Oil in the evening, as the oil in the product mixes with the excess sebum on the epidermis. Your skin will feel soft and cleansed. As the second cleanse we recommended to use IVY AïA Cleansing Mousse or IVY AïA Micellar water.
After cleansing, use IVY AïA Micellar water with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid. Use IVY AïA Face Mist and remember to moisturize preferably with IVY AïA Oil-free gel.

Great tip:
If you wear makeup and tend to oily skin, it is especially important that you make sure your makeup brushes are clean. The key words are to avoid bacteria and excess sebum in your brush, that it will built up, and might cause inflammations and aggravate the situation.
