Oily Skin Care Tip No.1 : Using a Toner

I have combination skin which means I have an oily t zone and normal to dry  cheeks.


A tip I picked up from a Beauty Therapist is to use a toner after cleansing, it helps remove any cleanser left on your skin, any dirt, make up and helps clean out pores and prevent pimples. 

It also will strip away your skins natural oils. Using a regular toner can be a problem for people with oily skin because when you strip away the natural oils and feel that tight skin feeling your skin goes into overdrive to replace the oils that are no longer there which means your skins get even oiler!



The way to avoid this is to use a toner that has no alcohol in it, the alcohol is what strips the natural oils. I use the Nivea Visage Young Stay Clear Purifying Toner. It's alcohol free and I have really noticed the difference between using a alcohol toner and an alcohol free toner.

To use this take a cotton swab and pour a small amount of toner onto the swaband wipe it over your skin avoiding your eyes.
