Understanding Oily Skin
Oily skin produces excess sebum, which can lead to enlarged pores, shine, and breakouts. The good news? With the right routine, you can keep your skin balanced, matte, and healthy – without stripping it dry.
Core Skincare Steps for Oily Skin
- Gentle cleansing – Use a gel or foam cleanser with a neutral pH, twice a day. Avoid harsh soaps that disrupt the skin barrier.
- Alcohol-free toner – Look for toners with niacinamide or salicylic acid (BHA) to regulate sebum production.
- Lightweight moisturiser – Oily skin still needs hydration! Choose oil-free or non-comedogenic gel or water-based creams.
- Niacinamide serum – Minimises pores and reduces shine. A must-have for oily skin types.
- SPF protection – Opt for lightweight gel or fluid sunscreens that won’t clog pores.
What to Avoid
Heavy oil-based creams, high-concentration alcohol, and over-exfoliating – these can paradoxically trigger even more sebum production.
Key Active Ingredients
Niacinamide, salicylic acid (BHA), zinc, green tea, lightweight hyaluronic acid formulas.
Consistency is key – give your routine 4–6 weeks to show results.
