Cleansers
Be sure to check to make sure you’re properly cleansing your face in the
morning. If you don’t have a cleanser with at least 2% salicylic acid and
you’ve got oily skin, you should look into switching to one. Salicylic acid
will break down the oil your skin produces without over-drying your face. Also,
wash your hands before you wash your face to avoid putting oils from your
fingers onto your skin.
Be mindful of what you eat
Skip the cocktails and spicy food. They dilate blood vessels and cause you to sweat. Limit yourself to one drink a night (or only one night of drinks a week), and eat spicy foods no more than once a week. Also consider loading up instead on carrots, cantaloupe and spinach. Foods like these that are high in vitamin A can actually slow oil production. Of course, also stay away from greasy foods as much as possible.
Foundation
When choosing foundation be sure to pick one that is oil-free or opt for a mineral powder foundation, which absorbs excess oil like a sponge. Mattifying foundation also works wonders.
