Expert Tip for Oily Skin

"If you’ve got oily skin, a good cleanse is the best place to start. It helps lift away excess oil, clear out pores and keep blemishes in check. Try using a gentle foaming or gel cleanser with ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to help balance and purify. Follow with a refreshing toner to sweep away any leftover residue and keep your skin’s pH in check. If you wear makeup or SPF every day, double cleansing in the evening can really help – start with a clarifying cleanser, then follow with a lighter, water-based one. It’s a simple step that makes all the difference, leaving your skin clean, fresh and ready for the rest of your routine."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best skincare routine for oily skin?

A consistent routine is key. Start with a gentle, oil-free cleanser to remove excess sebum, followed by a balancing toner. Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser to hydrate without clogging pores, and apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily. Incorporating a clarifying mask or exfoliating treatment 1–2 times a week can also help minimise shine and keep breakouts at bay.

Do I still need moisturiser if I have oily skin?

Yes. Skipping moisturiser can actually make oily skin worse, as your skin may produce more oil to compensate for the lack of hydration. Look for oil-free or gel-based moisturisers that hydrate while helping to regulate sebum levels.

What ingredients should I look for in skincare for oily skin?

Key ingredients include salicylic acid, niacinamide, zinc, and glycolic acid. These help to unclog pores, regulate oil production and refine skin texture. Clay and charcoal masks can also be helpful for deep cleansing.

How can I control oily skin throughout the day?

Start with an oil-balancing cleanser and use a mattifying primer or moisturiser in the morning. Blotting papers and setting powders can help control midday shine, and regular exfoliation can reduce excess oil buildup over time.

Is sunscreen suitable for oily skin types?

Absolutely. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic, oil-free SPF that provides broad-spectrum protection. Gel or fluid formulas tend to work best and help prevent clogged pores or extra shine.

Can oily skin still get dehydrated?

Yes, oily skin can be dehydrated if it lacks water rather than oil. Signs include tightness, dullness, and increased sensitivity. Hydrating serums with hyaluronic acid are ideal for replenishing moisture without adding oil.

Will using products for oily skin help with acne?

They can help manage breakouts by keeping pores clear and balancing oil production, but for moderate to severe acne, it’s best to look for targeted treatments with ingredients like salicylic acid or consult a skincare professional for advice.
