If you’re looking to find the best skincare routine for oily skin, then look no further!
Oily skin can make your complexion look dull and dark, so it’s important to choose the best products that will provide your skin with adequate hydration while controlling oil production and preventing acne and breakouts. This skincare routine will serve as your guide to achieving beautiful and healthy-looking skin in as little time as possible!
Use a cleanser with salicylic acid
Salicylic acid is a chemical exfoliant that helps to remove oil and dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. Salicylic acid can also help to reduce acne, treat blackheads, and prevent breakouts. If you have oily skin, it's best to wash your face with a salicylic acid cleanser once or twice per day. These types of cleansers are often gentle and effective at removing oil without over-drying your skin.
If you are looking for a natural alternative, try our Ylang Ylang & Chamomile Cleansing Balm to help reduce breakouts. Ylang Ylang helps to reduce oil production to reduce spots and the shea butter will help to heal skin and balance skin.
Apply toner
For a quick refresher, a toner is an astringent liquid (usually alcohol-based) that helps refresh the skin and remove any leftover makeup or oil after cleansing. Toners are also great to use in conjunction with other skincare products to help them penetrate deeper into the skin's surface.
When it comes to combatting oily skin, toners can be used as the last step in your skincare routine or you may want to add a moisturiser to your routine.
Use an oil-free moisturiser
To combat oily skin, you need to make sure that your moisturiser is oil-free. Apply the moisturiser after you wash your face to ensure that it won't clog your pores.
Exfoliate regularly
Exfoliating regularly is one of the most important steps in combating oily skin. Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and excess oil, which can cause clogged pores, resulting in breakouts and blackheads. You should exfoliate your face at least once a week and more often if you have a problem with acne. If you feel like your skin is too sensitive for physical exfoliates, try using a chemical exfoliant instead.
Check out our Clay & Coffee Bean Face Scrub as a natural way to exfoliate dead skin cells. This exclusive formula combines infused jojoba oil with coffee beans, and minerals of benonite clay to draw any toxins and minimise any large pores. An added bonus is that it can also be used as a clay mask.
Masks are a great way to combat oily skin
The pores on your skin can get clogged up with oil and other junk from the environment, causing your skin to produce more oil in an effort to protect itself.
A clay mask is a really good option because it will pull out all the bad stuff in your pores and shrink them at the same time. Clay masks are also pretty affordable so you don't have to feel like you're breaking the bank by buying one every time you need one. But if you want something that's even cheaper, use activated charcoal mixed with water or apple cider vinegar mixed with water as a face mask!
And it's not just for your face
Body skincare is often overlooked and forgotten about, but it is just as important. The skin on your body can also get oily and get blackheads and blocked pores so it's important to keep it exfoliated and moisturised.
Our May Chang soap sponge will gently exfoliate your skin and remove any excess oil. With its mild astringent properties, the sponge is particularly useful for oily and acne-prone skin.
