HOW TO CHOOSE A CLEANSER FOR OILY SKIN! Cleanser

HOW TO CHOOSE A CLEANSER FOR OILY SKIN!

Cleanser choice, believe it or not, should be largely driven by your skin type!

For oily types:
Look for gel or foaming cleansers. These often contain the cleansing agents necessary to remove excess surface oils while lacking the lipids often added to cleansers for dry skin. Oily types using dry skin cleansers can often feel like they have a “film” leftover or not feel completely cleanser.

Linking all my favorite oily skin cleansers in stories and in my “shop posts” highlight.

Let me know if you want a dry skin version in the comments!

We try to say our gratitude daily. Every morning with our morning bottle, every night before bed, after a safe flight or before a big day.

Today we’re spending a bit more time in our feelings, so thankful for what this last year brought us. Reflecting on where we were this time last year just praying for a healthy baby and here we are enjoying her first holidays so happy and healthy.

God is good, the Universe is listening to your very desire. You just have to allow, sometimes the hardest part.

Thankful for you and allowing me to both share my life and my tips with you. Skin and beauty may seem trivial to some but you all allow me to live out my passion every single day.

My morning skincare routine order!

1. Creamy cleansers are better for dry skin types. They won’t strip the skin.
2. Vitamin C serum every morning
3. More dense serums- here I’m using a serum with defensin technology that I’ve loved for years. We also have it at my clinic!
4. Moisturizer
5. Tinted sunscreen always!

*I had just applied self tanner the night before which always makes me stinky! A little BPO cleanser helps!

In this week’s episode of “you might not be doing that correctly” we have: SLUGGING

If you’re experiencing shiny skin it can be due to a couple of things. If there is clearly increased oil production you can use ingredients like salicylic acid, retinoids and niacinamide to help regulate. But be careful as over-exfoliation can ALSO make the skin appear shiny

Slapping more and more moisturizer on isn’t going to do the trick. If you’re super dry follow these steps!

1. Cleanse well with a creamy cleanser
2. Humectant rich serum to damp skin
3. Emollient moisturizer
4. Occlude it all with a petrolatum-based product

My own acne journey feels so far away I often forget to even reference it. But know that when I’m speaking to you and educating about skincare, it comes from the empathy of knowing what it feels like to not want to leave the house, or wearing your hair down to cover your cheeks. I know what it feels like not to recognize what you see in the mirror.

Sharing all about my acne journey, which came on abruptly about 7 years ago, in my stories today! #acnejourney #acne

Be honest! are you applying your sunscreen here? I would love to know how many are! #sunscreen #skincare #skincareroutines

When I’m shopping for gift sets for family and friends of course I want them to be beautiful but most important to me is that they’re actually effective! #TatchaPartner This Dewy Skin Essentials Kit from @tatcha was one of the first I added to my @sephora holiday list. The products are so luxurious but really pack a bunch. This set specifically is perfect for anyone battling dull, dry winter skin. It’s plumping, hydrating and leaves the skin feeling nourished… seriously look at that glow at the end. Plus the value here for a luxury gift set is insane! #SephoraSquad #skincare

If you know me you know the airwrap has changed my life. I use it every single time I wash my hair. And when Dyson calls (emails) and says they’re opening up a Beauty Lab in Miami, you run.

The cherry on top of the entire experience was meeting @hairinel who I could talk to for hours. She taught me ALL the hair tips and my mane is so grateful 🥹 thank you @dysonhair for having me 💕 I had the best time! #dysonhair

And yes I really did buy a pair of shoes on my way out of the mall and did responsibly return them. It was like paying way too much money for inevitable blisters. They were cute though 🥲

SAVE THIS! These tips apply for retinol, adapalene, tretinoin, etc.

If you are noticing irritation with tretinoin stop for a couple of days and focus on gentle cleansers and moisturizers. When your skin feels back to normal restart with the following tips:

🧴 Use only a pea-sized amount
🧴 apply after your moisturizer
🧴 avoid any exfoliation for now
🧴 use only every 3 nights for 2 weeks and slowly increase frequency
If you want more detailed tips I have a whole blog post titled Retinoids 101 on theskinthusiastblog.com 💕 message me for the link!

*this is NOT medical advice!!

I love a non-tinted SPF that easily absorbs for my neck and chest and a tinted for my face! To be precise I blend the tinted into basically the top half of my neck and then start with the non-tinted underneath that so there isn’t a noticeable line of demarcation at my jawline! #skintips #skincarehacks
