Achieving clear glass skin is every woman’s dream. All of us want camera-ready skin that is free from all skin problems. While it is not impossible to achieve, common challenges like acne and pimples, dark spots, pigmentations, and other skin woes make it difficult.
Oily skin beauties seem to struggle harder than others because excess oil presents challenges like battling persistent shine and breakouts. If you are tired of switching your skincare products and feeling frustrated about not getting optimal results, let us tell you, you may have not found the right skincare routine and products yet.
The right set of products can control a lot of skincare woes, and give you the skin of your dreams. In this article, you will find some expert-recommended skincare products and routines for oily skin beauties.
Best Skincare Routine For Oily Skin
Individuals with oily skin need a little extra care and have to be more careful when it comes to picking the right products. Their skin tends to be sensitive and easily prone to breakout. Your skincare routine should include cleanser, toner, moisturizer, sunscreen, chemical exfoliator, clay mask, face wash, and serums.
Discover The Power Of Double Cleansing
Double cleansing is the method of cleansing your face twice; one with an oil-based cleanser, followed by a water-based cleanser. This method leaves your skin squeaky clean and deep cleanses your pores. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, then try this routine after returning home. Try for a few weeks to see the result yourself.
For the first step, try Plum Goodness’s E-Luminence cleansing balm. This sulphate-free formula has gentle cleansing properties that won’t strip your skin of excess oil.

After the gentle cleanser, use a foaming cleanser to get rid of the remaining dirt, oil, and makeup. Kiehl’s pore cleanser may be a little high on the price, but it does wonders for your skin. You will get supple, smooth skin after every wash. In the morning, you can skip the two-step cleansing process, and start your day with this cleanser. It is formulated with Amazonian White Clay and Diatomaceous Earth particles, which pack multiple benefits for the large pores on your skin.

Hydrate with Toner
After a two-step cleansing process, your skin requires a good hydrating toner. Based on your skin concern and the issue you want to target, you can choose a toner with ingredients like neem oil, witch hazel, tea tree oil, etc.
Our pick is Lancome’s hydrating face toner. We love how gentle this is, particularly on sensitive skin. Also, this alcohol-free toner contains Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate your skin. One of the most important factors for oily skin beauties when choosing a toner is one with alcohol and other chemical ingredients.

Moisturiser
If you still believe that oily skin beauties do not need moisturizer, then that is the root of all your skin problems. In fact, skipping moisturizer thinking your skin already has enough oils will force your skin to produce more oil. The ideal moisturizers for your skin are lightweight, gel-based, or water-based.
Check out our pick here. A light green tea-based oil-free face moisturizer that reduces the large pores and tightens skin.

Must-Have Oily Skin Products
What we listed above are the basic oily skincare essentials. A good cleanser, toner, and moisturizer are the foundation for your skincare regime. However, our skin also needs other products spending on skin concerns. For instance, a good skin serum can reduce the appearance of pores and dark spots. A clay mask is needed for weekly skin treatment. So, let’s check out the products your oily skin needs.
Chemical Exfoliation
Chemical exfoliators are the magic potion for your skin. Previously, women had to pay hefty salon bills to get chemical exfoliation for their faces. Now, they can do it at home. Chemical exfoliators go deep inside the skin to cleanse the pores and pull out the dirt. Check out The Derma Co’s AHA+BHA peeling solution that contains salicylic acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid. Use it once as a weekly treatment for fresh, dewy skin.

Face Mask
A face mask is an essential part of any skincare routine, whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin. Face masks contain amazing ingredients that target our skin problems. Oily skin beauties often face pimples and acne due to excess oil production, and a face pack can combat that. Look for ingredients like bentonite clay, sandalwood, and neem oil to control common oily skin issues.
Kama Ayurveda’s face pack contains different herbs and red sandalwood as its primary ingredients which target oily skin issues.

Gentle Face Scrub
The reason why we added the word gentle before face scrub is because we do not want to confuse our readers. Oily skin beauties should treat their skin very gently, and face scrubs should not be in your beauty kit if you have severely acne-prone skin. Others require skin exfoliation at times to remove the dead cells.
Mcaffeine’s green tea scrub is a gentle scrub that helps to improve skin texture. Limit the usage of exfoliators to only once a week.

We saved the best for the last. Aloe vera gel is the magic elixir for good skin and hair. You can apply it on hair for skiny, strong hair, and treatment of scalp infections. For skin, it can calm down the skin, reduce acne and pimples, fade dark spots, etc. WOW Skin Science’s 99% aloe vera gel is the closest you can find to the natural gel from the plants.

Lastly, it goes without saying, that besides all these products, you need a good SPF. Without a good sunscreen, other skincare products will have no effect on the skin. It should also be mentioned here, that you may not need all the products discussed here, sometimes less is more. In comparison, others may benefit from an extensive skincare regime.
Don’t be afraid to test and try to find out what works for your skin. Remember, every skin is unique; stick to it once you find what works out for your skin.
