I have tried to find a really good face cleaner, because I myself have oily skin, and all of the cleaners I have used have not helped to fix that, so if anyone knows then please let me know
B.T.W. I love Make Up Geek.com it has helped me pull off amazing looks.Oil Cleansing Method (use your Google-fu
). I know it sounds crazy, but there are those who swear by it, including ones with oily skin. (Personally, I’ve never tried it; I don’t think it’s for me.)Meanwhile, a question: Do you moisturize your skin after cleansing it? If you don’t, it may exacerbate the problem.
No I have not, thanks for the tip
Hands down, the best CHEAP face wash for all types of skin, but especially oily (I have dry and can still use this with a face lotion after) is
Basis cleaner clean Face Wash.
It’s only 4$ at cvs/Walgreens/Walmart and it is a surprisingly amazing deep cleaner. It is ’100% oil free and soap free with botanicals that foam away makeup, dirt, oil and pollution fast for clean and refreshed skin’. When they say refreshed they mean it! There no other word to describe how your skin feels when your done, aside from super clean. This stuff really gets down in your pores and is extremely effective for eliminating oil (say that five times fast! Lol)
I use and have tried countless facewashes of all brands and prices. This stuff def give you a bang for your buck. For four bucks you got nothing to lose. Use in morning or at night and follow with an oil free moisturizer. As the others said, even oily skin needs some lotion, you just need to get the right type for your skin. Aveeno makes some lovely ones for all different skin types. I believe the one you need comes with the green top, oil free and lightweight won’t add any unwanted shine leaving your skin soft. These run about 15$ but it is a nice amount and will last, you only need one pump a day.
Def try the Basis Cleaner Clean wash if anything. I promise it will make your face and wallet happy
good luck!Hello fellow makeupgeeks,
I would like to agree to some of your that mentioned that we need to moisturize even if we have oily/combo skin. However, let me just give my thoughts on the proper procedure on skin care.
First, I don’t want to sound to conceited or bragging on this, but this is just what I do on my clients. I am a professional makeup artist and I like helping people on their skin regimen that is why I posted my thoughts on this.
- Step 1: CLEANSE/CLEANSING. Skin cleansers would always depend on each skin type. People who have oily or combo/oily skin may want to consider using gel type cleansers, liquid form or lotion type cleansers. Avoid using cleansers in a creamy type, as this may just trigger your skin on producing more oil than the usual. Sometimes, oily skin may become acne prone because of the excessive secretion of sebum in our skin. You may need to use an acne medication cleansers (oil-free).
For dry skin, use creamy type of cleansers as it may help your skin have that needed moisture which this skin type lacks.
2. Step 2: TONE. After we have cleansed the skin, toning or using toners is an important step on achieving healthier skin. One misconception or myth on toning is they are supposed to remove the make up residues that our cleanser leaves behind. However, the main purpose of using a toner is to bring back the pH of our skin back to its balanced state. Toning will help keep your skin clear and firm by leaving you with a layer of new healthy skin cells.
3. Step 3: MOISTURIZE. The last step on keeping our skin feeling young and healthy looking is moisturizing. It replenishes/gives back the natural moisture which can help prevent break-outs, early wrinkles, and dull looking skin. Moisturizers may also vary upon your skin type. The same thing on choosing cleansers, if you have oily skin or acne prone skin, use a lightweight moisturizer in gel type, lotion type or liquid type. You may also like to consider a moisturizer with UV protection if you are always exposed to the sun. For dry skin, a cream type of moisturizer is best. However, don’t apply too much, as this will feel heavy, and prevent your skin from breathing. Also make sure all excess cream is rubbed in.
You may also put moisturizer to your throat and neck.
Step 4: PRIME. (Optional) Step 4 is optional if you are not to put make up on. So this depends on the situation.
These are the products I normally use, it may be effective on my skin type (oily/combo/acne prone) but may not work for you. Test first, and observe if your skin will react.
Neutrogena Acne Medication Wash (oil free) – pretty cheap around $5.
clean & clear Advance cleanser for acne or oily skin
Cetaphil Gel Cleanser for oily skin
Purity-Philosophy – this can really remove all makeup residue, including waterproof mascara.
Murad Cleanser – for acne prone
I hope I was able to address some concerns. I am sharing my knowledge to help us be more sensitive on our skin so we can all achieve a healthy and glowing skin. Hope i helped you guys from this.
