If your skin gets greasy easily and is prone to acne, that’s a sign that you have oily skin. Women with oily skin should have a special skincare routine with lightweight moisturisers that won’t clog the pores, because the wrong creams can cause breakouts and blemishes.
First, cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle, alcohol-free cleanser. Next, apply a toner or treatment essence to balance your skin’s pH levels and remove excess make-up or dirt. Follow up with a serum, preferably one with shine-control and pore-minimising benefits.
After the serum, apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser for oily skin. Gels and lightweight creams are the best moisturisers to keep your complexion hydrated and shine-free. Finally, complete your skincare routine with an eye cream. If you’re heading out for the day, don’t forget to protect your skin with sunscreen.
Yes, every skin type requires moisturising, especially oily skin. It’s a misconception that adding moisture to already oily skin is redundant as moisturising is a much-needed step to keep your skin soft and supple.
Moisturisers act as a barrier to moisture loss by sealing water in the outer layer of the skin, preventing dehydration and shielding your skin from the harmful effects of stress and environmental pollutants. If you have oily skin, it’s best to use day and night moisturisers that won’t trigger pore congestion or acne breakouts.
Do apply a suitable moisturiser for oily skin every morning and night to ensure that your skin stays healthy and hydrated at all times. Skipping this step may cause your sebaceous glands to produce more sebum in order to make up for the lack of moisture.
When it comes to buying moisturisers for oily skin, texture is really important. Use a gel or gel-cream moisturiser during the day, and opt for a lightweight cream-based moisturiser at night to repair your skin’s moisture barrier while you sleep.
Avoid buying thick, heavy moisturisers that could potentially clog your pores, and be sure to stay away from moisturisers that contain alcohol or harsh chemicals that may irritate your skin.
