When it comes time to put on makeup, it becomes difficult to prepare oily skin to apply it. It is necessary to cleanse, tone and moisturize the skin, and it is not so easy to find effective products. Oil-based cosmetics can make your job harder. Applying makeup to untreated or inadequately prepared skin will lead to an unpleasant shine on the face and lubricate or wear off the makeup. Follow these tips and it will be easy for you to prepare your oily skin for makeup.

Steps

1. 1 Buy non-oil-based beauty products such as cleanser, toning lotion, and moisturizer that are formulated specifically for oily skin.
2. 2 Thoroughly cleanse oily skin with a cleanser every morning before applying makeup.
3. 3 Pat your face gently with a soft towel to remove excess water.
4. 4 Apply toning lotion to your face after cleansing and wait 5 minutes before applying makeup.
5. 5 Apply a moisturizer for oily skin to your face, rub it gently into the skin until it is completely absorbed.
6. 6 Wear makeup that works best for oily skin.
7. 7 Remove makeup thoroughly by washing your face with a cleanser before going to bed.
8. 8 Wipe your face with an astringent lotion such as witch hazel extract to further control oil build-up.
9. 9 Consult a dermatologist if you notice any worsening of your skin condition.
   • A dermatologist will give you professional advice and prescribe medications to improve skin condition and advice on how to prepare oily skin for makeup.

Tips

• Try blotting your skin with matting wipes before applying makeup to remove excess oil. Matting wipes will help you keep your face fresh throughout the day.
• For complete skin care, you need to not only cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin, but also eat right, think about a balanced diet high in vegetables and fruits. Drink plenty of water and avoid spicy foods. Spices can increase the oiliness of the skin.
• For oily skin, it is best to apply a minimum of makeup. Use more concealer and less foundation because concealer contains less oil. Try to find a water-based foundation, or use a mineral powder.
• Make it a rule to take regular, daily skin care. Cleanse, tone, moisturize your skin daily for best results.
• When preparing your skin for makeup, use a cleanser formulated for oily skin with a mattifying effect and a tonic lotion to control oil build-up.

Warnings

• Never go to bed without first cleansing your skin. In the morning, the skin will look stale, which can lead to stains.
• Do not use oil-based cosmetics. Such foods can make oily skin look even more oily. Use skin care products formulated for oily skin.
• Never wear shiny or shimmery makeup on oily skin. This will make oily skin look greasy.
• Do not rub your face too vigorously, this will provoke increased production of fat. Wash your face gently before applying makeup.
