You may even find that makeup slips right off, no matter how much powder you use. The good news is there are a few easy things you can do to help control the oil and get your matte on! One simple step is to make sure you\u2019re drinking enough water each day. Here\u2019s a quick look at how water consumption can impact your skin\u2019s natural oil production.<\/p>\n<h2>Which can affect your skin&#8217;s natural fat production?<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-30\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thelightfantasticsalonspa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WATER_HELP_WITH_OILY_SKIN_1.jpg\" alt=\"balance your skin\u2019s own oil production\" width=\"280\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thelightfantasticsalonspa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WATER_HELP_WITH_OILY_SKIN_1.jpg 359w, http:\/\/www.thelightfantasticsalonspa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WATER_HELP_WITH_OILY_SKIN_1-300x292.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/>The average person should drink eight glasses of water per day, but if you have oily skin, you may need to drink even more. When your <a title=\"body is dehydrated\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/dehydration\/article.htm\">body is dehydrated,<\/a> it produces more oil as a natural response in an effort to keep the skin hydrated. So by drinking plenty of water, you\u2019re actually helping to balance your skin\u2019s own oil production.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to drinking water, there are a number of other things you can do to help control the oil on your face. One easy way is to use blotting papers throughout the day to absorb excess oil. You can also try using a mattifying primer before applying makeup, or using translucent powder to set your makeup. If you have very oily skin, you may even want to consider using an oil-free foundation or powder.<\/p>\n<h2>Is cold water good for an oily face?<\/h2>\n<p>While there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that cold water is good for oily skin, some people find that it helps to control shine. Cold water can temporarily <a href=\"\/honest-skincare-tips\/comedogenic-scale\/\">tighten pores<\/a>, which may help to reduce oil production. It\u2019s also refreshing and can help you to feel awake and alert during the day. If you\u2019re looking for a way to cool down and control oil, give cold water a try!<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thelightfantasticsalonspa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WATER_HELP_WITH_OILY_SKIN_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"907\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thelightfantasticsalonspa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WATER_HELP_WITH_OILY_SKIN_2.jpg 907w, http:\/\/www.thelightfantasticsalonspa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WATER_HELP_WITH_OILY_SKIN_2-300x177.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.thelightfantasticsalonspa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WATER_HELP_WITH_OILY_SKIN_2-768x453.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 907px) 100vw, 907px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Does Vaseline help oily skin?<\/h2>\n<p>Many people believe that Vaseline can help to control oily skin, but there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. In fact, Vaseline may actually make your skin oily. If you have very dry skin, you may be able to get away with using a small amount of Vaseline on your face, but if you have even slightly oily skin, it\u2019s best to avoid this product.<\/p>\n<h2>Which is the best cream for oily skin?<\/h2>\n<p>There is no one \u201cbest\u201d cream for oily skin \u2013 it all depends on your individual skin type. Some people find that gel-based moisturizers work well, while others prefer creamy moisturizers. It\u2019s important to experiment until you find a moisturizer that doesn\u2019t make your skin feel greasy or heavy. You may even want to try a light, oil-free moisturizer or lotion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have oily skin, you know the feeling of your face being slick and shiny by midday.
