What is the Ketogenic Diet? The Ketogenic (or Keto) diet is, in fact, a high-fat low-carb diet. It is somehow comparable to Atkins, Dukan, and Low-Carb diets, but unlike the first two, Keto has no specific phases or steps. Instead, it is more focused on the proportions of macronutrients in our food. 

A strict keto diet is based on high fats (60-70%), moderate protein (25-35%), and very low carbohydrates (5%). These proportions will force the body to mass produce ketone bodies – compounds produced by the liver to break down fat. Let’s track it back down a little bit, shall we? Carbohydrates and fats are our body’s main sources of energy. Carbs are the primary ‘fuel’ while fats are stored for future use – in emergency cases. When carbs are broken down into sugar (glucose, in particular), the pancreas produces insulin that regulates the use and storage of glucose. By the way, excess sugar is also stored as fats. Now, on a low-carb diet such as Keto, insulin drops signalling the liver to produce ketone bodies. These water-soluble molecules will then start breaking down fats and convert it to energy. This state of the body is called ketosis, hence, the term keto diet. Ketosis is a natural ‘survival mode’ process of the body when there’s little to no food intake in a certain span of time. Burning fat prevents the body from starvation.

Oily skin like every other skin type cannot be eliminated rather there are ways through which it can be managed. Sorry, I had to use that title to get your attention but all hope is not lost as these tips have helped me over the years and I feel it will be of great assistance to you.

Washing your face is not a guarantee that all the  germs on your face would be taken off, however it is important  to wash your face at least two times in a day so as to get excess oil off the face and at the same time  to refresh and calm the skin, also this step is important so as to get some dirt off  the face to avoid excess dirt on the skin which can further cause you to breakout. Wash your face at least twice a day, using warm water and soap so as to open your pores, after proper cleaning you can go ahead to use cold water to rinse your face so as to close your pores and to avoid impurities from entering your open pores. Wash your face in the morning and later at evening as part of your night skincare routine. 

MOISTURISING 

I got this tip from a Google partner in the person of Nikkia Joy, as a oily skinned person you tend to assume that moisturising is not for you as you already produce excess oil,  the truth is that  moisturising your skin will keep it hydrated and trick the skin into believing that you already have excess oil on the surface, thereby reducing the quantity of oil produced by the skin by creating an equilibrium.

Visit a Dermatologist

Another way through which impurities take root on your face thereby causing acne is as a result of not taking off your makeup properly, the remains of makeup products on the face build up to cause skin infections. After years of using make-up remover, I can tell you that they are not hundred percent effective either as a result of the product not being efficient or the user's fault but lately I have found an easy way out and I tell you it is 99.9% efficient and with this you know longer need a makeup remover.

I hope this was helpful, thanks for joining me.

  

As I mentioned at the beginning, water and soap are not enough for removing dirt and impurities from the face but using a facial cleansing product is a life saver as it pays more attention in getting the surface of the skin clean if properly done. For one with oily skin, it is advisable never to use an alcoholic cleanser as such product tighten your pore which is what we want but within a short while the body feels the need to produce oil but the bad news is that it will produce two to three times than normal as it  senses that there is no oil at the surface. You don't need a cleanser that will wipe off all your natural oil but something that will clean dirt of the skin as the name implies.

 Use Facial Masks

A facial mask could be gotten from a store or you can make some for yourself at home. If you desire to get some pieces of information on how to make a facial mask, write me a comment below and share this post. A facial mask is a facial treatment made to sit on the face while it gradually penetrates the skin in other to provide it with the necessary nutrition. All the processes involved in taking care of an oily skin can in turn, overwhelm the skin so pampering the skin and giving it the necessary nutrients with a facial mask is not too much to do.  

This helps you in getting rid of dead skin cells, getting this off the way makes it easier for skincare products to locate where to start working, as the scales blocking the pores have been swept off through the exfoliation process. If you want me to provide you with products you can use, that is information on how to DIY your facial scrub at home, drop me a comment below and share this post.

One of the reasons we workout is to burn excess fat in the body in other to look fit, feel fit and be fit. Working out religiously makes it easier for us to burn fats thereby reducing the quantity of melted fat the face will produce.

Drinking lots of water keep you hydrated and help in flushing out impurities that activate the production of acne on the face.

For one with an oily skin, it is important to stay away from oil-based products unless you are looking forward to having a messy finish within a short time. Working with mattifying products is advisable as it helps in holding oil back from melting your makeup faster.

This was a trend that started in late 2016 and it has proven to work as more than enough people in the oily skin community has testified to the wonders of applying powder before your foundation. It is said to help your makeup last longer.

It is important to drink lots of water as it helps in cleaning your body from the inside out and helps in regulating your oil production.

APPLY YOUR MAKEUP SMARTLY

Avoid rubbing in the foundation on your face rather it is best to dab in your makeup so as to help it sit perfectly on your face. This is advisable because your primer creates a wall or layer that covers your pores which blocks makeup product from getting direct contact with the skin, this is healthy for your skin but at the same time we need the makeup to sit right on the face so we can have a floorless finish and dabbing your makeup in is key.  I hope these tips were helpful, thanks for spending time with me.

Excess production of oil on the skin plus make-up are not the best combinations, this is why your make up melts after a short while, making your overall look faded coupled with makeup products barely staying on your face for as much as you want. If you have a very oily skin, it is no news that your T-zone turns out to be the oil manufacturer making those areas shiny as a result of excess oil and the worst of all is that makeup plus oily skin tends to oxidise faster, that is your foundation becoming a shade or two darker after application. With oily skin, it is difficult to keep your makeup looking fresh but I've got some tips that will help in minimizing this problem.

One with an oily skin should never plaster foundation on the face without priming the areas that produce more oil as primers form a protective layer between your skin and the products and it helps your make-up last longer. Using a mattifying eye primer in other to avoids your eyeshadow from creasing could also come handy.

This should always be found in the purse of one with an oily skin as it comes handy when you have to lift excess oil from your face, with this you don't have to mess with your already made beat while trying to get the oil off the face.

This seems like the way out for one with an oily skin but the truth is far from this as an excess powder mixed with oil from your skin gives a very cakey finish, which is not something anyone wants.

Deep cleansing is a great habit for one with oily skin must exhibit because this way you get rid of the dirt and impurities that are hiding or deeply locked down beneath your pores. I would recommend products that will respond mildly on your skin, you don't need products that will dry out your skin and this is because once your skin is dried out your skin feels the need to produce more oil.

CLEAN YOUR MAKEUP APPLICATORS

When you go a long time without washing or disinfecting your makeup applicators, bacterias start to grow on them and using this same object on your face exposes you to germs that will eventually cause all sorts of irritation on your face. The worst of all is that your makeup products also stand the chance of getting infected as they also come in contact with your make up applicators such as brushes, blending sponges, puffs etc.. In other to save yourself this issues, it is best to clean your makeup applicators at least once in a month. You can do this by washing them with soap and water to get excess product off, after which you can prepare a bath with look warm water in which you will place them for at least 20minutes, it is best to leave them to dry without exposing them directly under the sun.
