Oil Vey! - How To Combat Greasy Skin Types
Nearly half of all American men believe they have oily skin. Whether it’s a little too much shine, unwanted greasiness or the much-dreaded zit fest, these “slick” gents are always looking for simple ways to place oil embargos on their faces.
That’s where we can help. While it’s important to note that oil is not all bad for a man’s mug (natural oils help deter wrinkles and a degree of oil is necessary to avoid drying skin out), handling excess oil output the right way isn’t always that straight forward. To make it simple, these tips don’t beat around the bush: |
 |
| 1. |
CLEANSE
The first step in battling oily skin is to wash your mug with a quality daily face wash to break down and remove oil. Best bets in this category include Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel, Grooming Lounge Pre-Shave Face Wash and Menscience Daily Face Wash. This Cleansing step is super critical before you exfoliate or shave because it breaks down existing oil and allows the rest of your products to easily reach their destinations.
Usage Details: Wash Morning & Night

| 2. |
EXFOLIATE
Exfoliation is the next important step as it removes dead skin cells that form a barrier to trap “gunk” in your pores… not allowing said pores to hydrate properly (poor pores). Top shelf exfoliators include: Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, Menscience Face Scrub and for those with blackhead issues, Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub.
Usage Details: Exfoliate prior to shaving each morning

| 3. |
TONE
Applying a toner (the skin care realms Doug Henning – master illusionist) is next. Toners provide the skin with water and natural oils that tricks the dermis into thinking it has plenty of oil – thus it won’t produce an abundance. Top tier toners are Sharps Skin Tuner and Cellex-C Fresh Complexion Mist for those with severe skin dehydration.
Usage Details: Place toner on cotton pad and apply 2x per day
|
| 4. |
MOISTURIZE
Finish the routine by applying a moisturizer, which will lock the good stuff into your face and keep many of the environment’s harmful elements at bay. Moisturizers with the most are ClarinsMen Moisture Gel, Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion and Grooming Lounge Happy Ending for you super-dehydrated fellows.
Usage Details: Apply moisturizer morning and night |
