It took me a minute to come around to face mists, which—let's be honest—may appear to be nothing much more than atomized H20 to many of you. In short, a total waste of time and money. But hear me out: the ones you’ll see here are brimming with skin-loving ingredients, calming Rosewater, and even water from the French Alps. Just ONE spritz on my just cleansed and bare face was enough to change my life (and skin) forever. How you ask? Well...it instantly makes me feel revived, comes to my rescue at work when all I want to do is a nap after lunch and cools, soothes and hydrates my complexion when I need a midday pick-me-up.

BEST SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR OILY SKIN

-



Wondering how to take care of oily skin? Ahh, where do we start? Greasy, oily skin is what beauty woes are made of. So, while a glossy sheen could be a gorgeous thing on your hair and nails, it’s certainly oh-not-so-appealing on your face.



The thing about oily skin though, is that there is no one definite reason for that extra slick of oil on your face. If you have oily skin, it implies that your skin has overactive sebaceous glands that produce more oil than you need. A number of times it’s caused due to climate changes, hormones, genetics, diet, stress—or even by using the wrong skincare product. Not to forget the times when your skin gets dehydrated and to compensate for the loss of oil, it starts overproducing excess oil. Result? Enlarged pores that are prone to acne, breakouts, and blackheads. 

Well, just because you have oily skin, doesn’t mean you can’t do anything about it. First things first, rather than following what everyone else is doing, determine what works for you. Avoid using random products and stick to tried-and-tested oily skin products. Here are our formulas and tips for oily skin that will keep oiliness at bay.

To make things easier for you, we have put together a fail-proof morning and evening skincare routine for oily skin to alleviate your oily skin woes.

Daytime Skin Care Routine For Oily Skin


1. Cleanser

Start your morning skincare routine for oily skin with a mild water-based cleanser that removes dirt and other impurities, without clogging your pores. Since oily skin is more prone to acne and breakouts, the best cleanser for oily skin is one that contains Salicylic Acid. It’s a super-powerful BHA that exfoliates the surface of the skin and penetrates your pores to extricate all the dirt and oil build-up. Moreover, a mild face cleansing foam with Tea Tree Oil can also work wonders for oily skin.

2. Exfoliator

However, in addition to cleansing, incorporating a mild exfoliator (at least twice a week) is equally important. The best scrub for oily skin removes the dead skin, reduces excess oil production, and prevents pugging of pores that lead to breakouts.

3. Toner

The best toner for oily skin preps your skin and enables it to absorb more active ingredients from the products you apply afterward; plus, it minimizes the appearance of pores and refines your skin texture—keeping oiliness at bay.

4. Masks

A basic mask or a peel once a week can do wonders for oily skin. A great face mask for oily skin is one that contains Charcoal or Moroccan clay that keeps skin calm and clear. You can also use exfoliating masks and peels with Glycolic Acid that make for best face packs for oily skin.

5. Serum

Since you have oily skin, use serums only when you want to tackle different skin concerns. If your skin feels dehydrated, then incorporate a hydrating serum in your skincare routine; for brightening and anti-aging effect, use a serum with brightening and anti-aging properties, and so on and so forth. PS: Always remember to stick to lightweight formulations that get absorbed in the skin easily.

6. Moisturizer

Just because your skin is producing extra oil, doesn’t mean you forego creams and moisturizers altogether. However, instead of using heavy, pore-clogging formulas choose products containing humectants such as Glycerin or Hyaluronic Acid, that draw water into your skin and prevent moisture loss. The best moisturizer for oily skin is one is oil-free, silicon-free and hydrates your skin from the inside-out, without getting your oil glands into overdrive.

7. Sunscreen

As opposed to what you might think, layering on sunscreen is an essential part of the day time oily skincare routine. Try a mineral-based product (containing Zinc or Titanium Dioxide) that absorbs oil and hence acts as the best sunscreen for oily skin.


Recommended:  Innisfree Daily UV Protection Cream No Sebum SPF35 PA+++, Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++







Evening Skin Care Routine For Oily skin

For your evening skincare routine for oily skin, start with your usual cleansing and toning routine. Follow this up with a good light-weight serum (optional) and finish off with a night cream. If you do choose to apply a serum, avoid applying it on your T-Zone that tends to get oily and greasy over the course of the day.

Best Night Cream And Eye Cream

The best face cream for oily skin during night time is one that is light-weight and can get absorbed rapidly in the skin. Alternatively, you can swap your daytime cream with a night cream that contains Retinol, which can act as a savior for oily skin types. It not only exfoliates but also increases cell turnover and helps unplug those pores. Layer this with a potent eye cream that hydrates brightens and firms up the under-eye area.
