Will Alcohol-Based Products Help Dry Up Oily Skin?

Avoid Alcohol-Based Products for Oily Skin

When choosing a cleanser, astringent or other oily skin product, avoid those that are alcohol-based. The alcohol in the product will dry the skin out.

As excess oil is removed, your skin amps up oil production, leaving you with skin that is oilier than before you began. This is why it is important to use astringents and cleansers made specifically for oily skin, so you avoid excessively drying your skin out.
