Oily skin produces more sebum and may show shine, more visible pores, or blemishes. However, it can also lack water, so trying to dry it out at all costs is not a good foundation for a skincare routine.
The most helpful approach is to choose suitable textures, cleanse without stripping the skin, and gradually introduce targeted ingredients.
How can you recognize oily skin?
Oily skin is generally characterized by persistent shine, especially in the T-zone, a more oily feeling throughout the day, and sometimes visible pores or blemishes. These signs can change depending on the season, stress, hormones, or the products used.
Morning routine for oily skin
-
Cleanse. Use a gentle face cleanser that removes excess sebum without leaving your skin feeling uncomfortable.
-
Optional toner. A product from the Toners & Tonics collection can complement cleansing if its formula suits your skin.
-
Targeted serum. Choose a face serum according to your priority: hydration, radiance, texture, or blemishes.
-
Moisturize. A face cream with a suitable texture helps maintain comfort without necessarily choosing a very rich formula.
-
Sun protection. This is especially important if you use exfoliating ingredients.
Which ingredients may be beneficial?
Niacinamide and certain exfoliating acids may be found in skincare products designed for skin prone to shine or blemishes. However, their benefits depend on the concentration, the complete formula, and your tolerance. Start gradually rather than combining several active ingredients from the outset.
Peels and exfoliation: moderation is key
Peels containing AHAs, BHAs, or other acids are occasional treatments, not a daily necessity. Follow the frequency indicated on the product and avoid layering several exfoliants on the same evening if your skin is sensitive or reactive.
In the evening
Cleanse your skin, apply your targeted treatment if you use one, then finish with suitable hydration. A product from the Masks & Scrubs collection can be added occasionally depending on its formula and your current needs.
What to avoid
- very harsh cleansing;
- accumulating acids and scrubs;
- thinking that oily skin does not need hydration;
- changing your routine too often.
