TIPS FOR OILY AND ACNE PRONE SKIN

Hey Girls! If your like the majority of the population and have oily - acne prone skin then you know how hard it can be to achieve a smooth shine free canvas.Having a matte finish on your face is ideal to ensure a great application of make-up. So here are some tips!!

1. Always make sure you wash your face with a cleanser specifically formulated for oily skin.

2. When moisturizing look for creams that have "oil free" on the packaging. Also stay away from products that contain mineral oil. (Mineral oil is a form of refined crude oil and blocks pores, in turn creating acne).

3.Use an Aspirin mask at least 1-2 times away took diminish excess shine and ruddiness.

4. BEST TRICK EVER!!
When applying liquid foundation instead of applying primer THEN foundation. Mix the two together to almost achieve a concealer like consistency. This MATTIFIES your skin to a powder shine free finish. You don't even need a setting powder.

5. Carry powder and only dab the oily areas on your face instead of all over, for a more natural look. (I like to use the Studio Fix Powder Plus foundation in NC40)

6. Oil absorbing sheets are also a great way to help with excess oil build up.

Hope you guys enjoyed these tips :)
