Best Practices
Cleanse your skin gently
Cleansing your face morning and evening helps remove excess sebum, impurities, and pollution. However, harsh cleansers can disrupt the skin's natural balance and encourage it to produce even more oil.
Don't skip moisturizer
Hydration is essential, regardless of your skin type. Choose a lightweight moisturizer or gel cream that provides moisture without leaving a greasy finish. Well-hydrated skin is often more balanced, more comfortable, and less prone to excess shine.
Look for ingredients known for their benefits
Ingredients such as niacinamide, zinc, green tea, BHA, and salicylic acid are widely appreciated for helping regulate excess sebum, refine the appearance of pores, and reduce blemishes while respecting the skin's natural balance.
Be consistent with your routine
Combination to oily skin won't become balanced overnight. A gentle routine followed every day is often far more effective than using harsh products in an attempt to remove excess oil.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Thinking that oily skin doesn't need hydration.
- Using products that are too harsh or overly drying.
- Cleansing your face more than twice a day to remove shine.
- Relying only on mattifying products instead of maintaining the skin's natural balance.
