Best Products For Oily Skin
It’s a common misconception that oil-prone skin shouldn’t be cleansed with an oil cleanser; I mean, why would you add more oil to your face? But that is just not the case - oil cleanser are able to more effectively remove oil than gel cleansers. This budget buy strips your face of bad oils produced during the day and night while nourishing with the essential oils it contains. It's also a killer makeup remover.
Clay is a heavyweight in the skincare world of oil control - its nourishing minerals and absorbent qualities allow it to deeply purify, exfoliate and rejuvenate. Infused with vitamin C and black pepper (a brilliant circulation stimulator), this gel cleanser will remove any excess oil your oil cleanser has missed, fully prepping the skin for the steps that follow.
For oily skin that verges on sensitive, cleansing milk is your answer. A gentle emulsion, cleansing milk removes makeup and impurities, while the infused sage soothes and purifies in the least aggressive manner.
For oily skin, one should always avoid alcohol-based toners - they are often too drying and oil glands can overstimulate to make up for this. Instead, an astringent containing salicylic acid is preferable, able to dissolve bacteria and sebum while soothly the complexion.
This serum is top notch when it comes to pore minimising and decongesting. It helps to balance sebum production and the appearance of oily skin, which is pretty damn impressive for £5. Apply it before your moisturiser for a little more oil control, but be careful not to mix it with vitamin C.
Oily skin has never been more prevalent than it is now - pollution, hormones and overzealous chemicals are all components of modern society that do our skin no favours.
In an attempt to combat this and attain an on-trend dewy glow, we can often accidentally cross over to an unwanted sheen, having over-stimulated our skin with too much (or simply the wrong) product. It's also possible to misdiagnose oily skin for dehydrated skin – so be sure you have the right signs before compiling a treatment plan.
Oil-prone skin is often sensitive and reactive, requiring niche products that combat sebum and secretion - below are some absolute superstars in this field, cleverly concocted with these issues in mind. So, if you are fighting the good fight, see our guide to the top foundations for oily skin, and say hello to your little warriors...
