Skin is the most vital part of your body needing utmost love and care. Especially when your skin is oily, it can take all your time. When your skin produces more oil than necessary it results in frequent breakouts and blemishes. However, a good skincare routine for oily skin can solve all your problems. Aesthetic Aura is here to guide you to a good morning and evening skincare routine to achieve clear and normal skin.

What Routine is Best for Oily Skin?

The skincare routine for oily skin should be simple and effective. Rather than farding your face with ten different products, focus on controlling excess sebum. Here is a simple and effective skincare routine for oily skin.

1. Morning Skincare routine

Gentle cleanse every morning 

Do not use harsh cleansers thinking it will stop oil production. Adopt gentle cleansers with Salicylic acid or tree tea oils because they deeply cleanse the skin reducing the oil production. Tea tea oils have anti-bacterial properties to help with pimples and breakouts.

I think skin is the most important. If you take care of your skin, then everything else looks good!

Exfoliate (2-3) days

Exfoliation deeply cleanses and unclogs the pores. It reduces unwanted shine and clears debris from underneath the skin. It is best to use AHA-BHA exfoliants. Physical exfoliants like clay masks and scrubs are great for your oily skin.

Toner

Toners help to maintain hydration without making your skin look oily and tighten the pores. Use toners with salicylic and glycolic acids to balance the Ph level and reduce sebum production. Also, skip this step if you feel your skin getting drier.

Lightweight Moisturizer

There is a myth that oily skin does not need moisturizer but it could not be more far from the truth. Oily skin produces more oil when skin gets dehydrated so a lightweight moisturizer can be your best friend.

Skincare is healthcare.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a daily essential for every skin type. Oil-free and gel-based sunscreens are the pro-choices for oily skin. Make sure the product you are using is non-comedogenic. Never skip this routine in your skincare as it makes all the difference.

2. Night-time Skincare Routine

Double Cleanse

Start with an oil cleanser to dissolve all the impurities and dirt. Go immediately with a water-based cleanser to remove the remaining oils and leave your skin hydrated. Start double cleansing if you have not already!

Toner

Toners are essential to tighten your pores and add hydration to your skin. Add toner to your nighttime skincare as products work better at night. It is best to choose a toner that is alcohol-free and non-drying.

Serums

Serums are boosters that initiate glow and maintain hydration in your skin. Niacinamide serum, AHA-BHA, and Retinol serums perfectly fit oily skin. Serums add benefits to your skin targeting various issues.

Spot treatment (If Needed)

Oily skin can cause tons of breakouts, blemishes, and painful acne. Spot treatment helps solve skin issues by concentrating on specific problems without causing oil production and breakouts. However, consult with a dermatologist before applying spot treatments of higher concentration.

Nightmask (Optional)

Nightmasks keep all the skincare products in place. However, do not overuse them more than 2-3 times a week. Nightmasks help with hydration, reduce sebaceous filament production, and keep pores tightened.

Conclusion

Skincare routine for oily skin consists of products rich in anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties focused on reducing sebum production. Following a skincare routine every day along with timely facials and consultation with your doctor can treat all the issues caused by oily skin.
