Always wash your face! Not only are you clearing out your pores, but you're creating an awesome base for your makeup. I normally have oily skin but in the winter I dry up... as most of us do! I like to use Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash cream cleanser in Pink Grapefruit. A cream cleanser will not strip your skin of the oils it does need & will help to keep your face moisturized.
Use a toner! Toner will close your pores helping to keep all the good stuff of your cleanser in your skin. Cold water is a great example but I'm addicted to Mark. cosmetics Mist Oppurtunity Multi-Tasking Refresher. I don't use a ton of product on my skin during cold months for the sake of keeping my skin soft & smooth. No one likes flakes on your face!This toner's great because it works as an extra cleanser & can even set your makeup when spritzed on after application!
Always, always, always moisturize! I don't like using a lot of matte products when my skin is drier because I want a fresh dewy look. I like to use Dermalogica's Clean Start Welcome Matte spf15 to help balance my naturally oily skin without completely getting rid of everything shiny. Dewy, glowy skin is extremely important these later months in order to look fresh!
Use a more natural everyday foundation. Neutrogena's Healthy Skin is a favorite of mine. If you're still experiencing excess oil several hours after you've done your makeup for the day, try using a teensy bit of mineral foundation like Mineral Wear's loose powder to conceal. Lightly pat powder on. Do not buff powder into your skin using circular motions.
If you're experiencing flaky skin exfoliate twice a week. (: XO
