If you have an oily skin, chance is you recognize the t-zone area. This is because, t-zone area is likely to produce more oil than the other parts of the face. The t-shaped area of our face includes forehead, nose and chin. This is the area that many of us struggle with, specially people with oily skin. Not only oil, t-zone will have more acne and blackheads too. The situation gets more critical in summer. Apparently, summer skincare for t-zone gets tricky. So let’s get to some summer skincare tips for your extra oily t-zone are.
When it comes to skincare, we most believe to wash the face more frequently. Washing face to wash-off oil is necessary. But using harsh products and scrubs very often is harmful. It can cause more damage if your other parts of face are dry. Then chemical in product will make that part super dry. Like washing, excessive rubbing is also bad. It will produce more oil and damage the upper layer. Try to wipe t-zone with wet wipers. Splashing water every two hour is also a good way to get rid of oil without causing any damage.
To protect our skin from sunburn, makeup is an unavoidable step. This is done after sunscreen of course. Choose a powder sunscreen. Powder contains zinc, which eliminates the excess oil. Makeup creates an extra layer and hide the skin from direct ray. But heavier layer stopes the pores to breath and cause more oil. For combination skin apply moisturizer avoiding the t-zone. Instead use primer before applying makeup.
When thinking to treat t-zone with a mask go for clay mask. It is perfect for oily t-zone. Clay will pull away impurities from open pores and prevent breakouts in t-zone. Along with clay mask, include a serum for your oily t-zone. The formula works to combat oiliness and minimize pores. Apart from all, try to pick some DIY face pack. A very easy and proven best homemade pack is turmeric and sandalwood. Mix these two with water/rose water to good consistency. Apply on your face and wait 15 minutes. To find a perfect face pack will not be easy but once you find, your skin care routine will be more natural and less harmful.
