Your blog is very useful and i shall use these methods and collaborate it with my routine. i was wondering with moisturizers for oily skin, is it more effective using moisturizers with built in SPF or just applying a normal moisturizer then sun cream on top?

as you mention in your other blog about optimal way to use a moisturizer you said SPF for day time, but later on you also said about applying sun cream, i am confused.

thanks

Helloworld: Sorry you were confused. I don’t know which article you were referring to but for oily skin, you can actually skip the moisturizer if your sunscreen is moisturizing enough. If you are just using a moisturizer with SPF, it should be at least SPF30.

Your post is useful as I’m having same problem too. But I’m confusing about foaming cleanser and oil-based cleanser, what’s the difference in term of usage? Which is for oily T zone? It’d be great if you could help,thanks!:)

Natalie: Hey, glad you find the info useful. Foaming cleanser produces suds so it tends to give our skin a more squeaky clean feeling afterwards. But it could also strip our face of our natural oils if the ingredients are too harsh. If your skin don’t feel tight and taut after cleansing with a foaming wash, then it’s fine.

For oil based cleanser, I find it great for removing makeup. Increasingly, some women like to cleanse just using oil by itself. Eg. Pure Jojoba oil or those from Fancl, Shisedo and DHC. Massage into the skin to remove the impurities and then washing off using a warm wash cloth. Personally, I find this too time consuming and so I only use an oil cleanser to remove my makeup and usually follow on with a foaming wash. The oil cleanser will help to protect the skin from becoming overly dry.
