Oily skin can cause issues like breakouts and an oily-shiny look, but with the proper routine and products, you can have these skin concerns under control!

What Is Oily Skin?

Oily skin is the result of the overproduction of sebum from sebaceous glands. These glands are located under the skin’s surface. Sebum is an oily substance made of fats. Sebum isn’t bad since it helps protect and moisturize your skin and keep your hair shiny and healthy.

Too much sebum, however, may lead to oily skin, which can lead to clogged pores and acne. Genetics, hormonal changes, or even stress may increase sebum production.

How To Determine If You Have Oily Skin

• First, wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
• Allow your skin to dry for one hour without applying any products. If you feel oily on your T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) and cheeks; you have oily skin. People with oily skin type usually experience the following:

Prone to breakouts.

Enlarged pores.

Shiny/greasy look.

Makeup doesn’t stay in place.

Here Are Some Skincare Hacks To Manage Oily Skin.

• Moisturise Regularly: It is a huge misconception that moisturizers should not be applied to oily skin. Moisturizer is your best friend and will help maintain your skin barrier. Opt for lightweight moisturizers like Restore The Glow Anti-Ageing Day Cream for the morning routine, and Enhance The Glow Brightening Night Cream for the night routine. They will keep your skin hydrated at all times.
• Use Products That Contain Ingredients For Oil Control: Look for ingredients like Niacinamide, Salicylic acid, Hyaluronic acid, Glycolic acid and Lactic acid. They help control oil production and also hydrate the skin.
• Use A Mask: Natural facial masks are a great addition to your skincare routine. Clay masks will help to tighten pores and remove blackheads. Using a Bentonite clay base will remove toxins from your skin, giving you a wonderful natural glow. Honey masques will not only remove excess oil but will also hydrate your skin because honey acts as a humectant. It will bring in any missing moisture from your skin.
• Invest In Good Oil Control Makeup: Choose non-comedogenic makeup products that are mattifying and oil-free, so your makeup doesn’t “slide off” halfway through the day. Arm yourself with blotting papers, especially if you don’t like constantly powdering your T-zone.
• Don’t Forget Your Sunscreen: Sunscreen is an essential skincare step that you shouldn’t be missing out on. After every morning routine, Use SPF to protect your skin from harmful sun rays and sun damage.
• Check Your Diet: Cut down your intake of refined sugar, carbs and dairy foods. Such foods increase your oil production and cause breakouts. Committing to a healthier diet will significantly help in controlling oily skin
• Cut The Stress: When you are stressed, your skin reacts by producing more oil glands. So the less stress, the less oil your skin will produce. Managing the stress in your life is vital to maintaining your naturally glowing skin.
