Moisturise

Contrary to popular belief, oily skin requires proper hydration to NOT BE OILY. Our skin tends to overproduce oil when it gets too dry, in turn causing the skin to become oily. You can go for a moisturiser which is gel-based and lightweight so that it can be absorbed easily and quickly without causing the skin to break out.

Over cleanse

The same can be said for washing your face far too often. It can dry out your skin furthermore causing your sebaceous glands to go into emergency mode.

Unsuitable Skin Care Products

Some skincare products are at times made with low-quality ingredients or ingredients which could cause your skin to break out. You can avoid this problem by using quality products and carefully vetting their ingredients.

Age

Your age matters too. The skin goes through changes, just like the body. During puberty, it tends to overproduce oil and there are a lot of hormonal changes, resulting in A LOT OF BREAKOUTS and agony. You can help your skin back to its health with proper care and nourishment.

Diet

At times, just eliminating fried, spicy and junk food from your diet could make a world of difference to your skin.

Here’ a must-follow tip

Oily skincare doesn’t have to be tough. You can start by cleaning your face twice a day and not more. After cleansing, your skin is primed for soaking up all the hydration that it can get. That’s the time when you should apply your moisturiser. You can do this twice a day, once in the morning and once at night to ensure deep moisturisation.
